SP Energy Networks utilises Fugro´s virtual technology to model UK electricity grid in 3D
(WorldNews Netherlands)

It follows an extensive trial by SP Energy Networks since 2014, which led to all UK network operators adopting its current system. The major upgrade will use innovative technology developed by world leading Geo-data specialist Fugro to map the entire network using virtual world visualisation tools. Fugro has been awarded a three-year contract, beginning in July, to develop a precise model of SP Energy Networks` complete overhead line network using 3D models and advanced analytics. They will record the network using aerial survey data, which will ultimately be used to identify where vegetation and other external factors may disrupt the network. Under the new contract, Fugro will capture lidar...
