Morgan Structural and Bailys Regeneration (Glastonbury)
A complex and challenging historic redevelopment project in Glastonbury involving a large number of stakeholders.
As a leading housing association focused on improving community lives. PCH is Plymouth’s largest social housing landlord with over 16,000 properties housing 35,000+ people in Plymouth and the surrounding areas. PCH also operates as a commercial landlord with 170+ city shops.
Managing a large and complex estate, PCH faced escalating costs and limited visibility of the true condition of their buildings. Roofs in particular posed a challenge: traditional inspections were time-consuming, expensive, and carried safety risks for surveyors. Without clear, accurate data, planned works risked being far more extensive — and costly — than necessary.
Using drone and LIDAR surveys, we delivered a digital twin of the asset, combined with thermal imaging to help identify water ingress on roofs and external walls. The remote capture removed the need for scaffolding and working at height, whilst providing a level of detail far beyond measured surveys.
Versus the traditional ground/roof-based data capture time of weeks or even months for large assets, saving days/weeks
Versus ground or rooftop inspections with ropes, scaffold and towers our aerial capture tools are “zero-touch”
Versus traditional manual inspection costs by removing the expense of prolonged capture time, travel time and repeated in-person site visits
Versus the traditional survey which does not “see” all of the asset from all aspects and elevations
Versus ground/roof-based surveys with limited access and finite resolution, allowing pinpoint accuracy across the whole digital twin
Versus the traditional 2D paper-based reports and images which have limited access, coverage and quality
