2024 Proceedings

The City of Altamonte Springs, in partnership with England-Thims & Miller, Inc. (ETM), is leveraging 3D technology to build a model digital twin. This initiative reimagines infrastructure management by merging a vibrant surface landscape with 3D utility data which provides a framework for the integration of live sensors and other capabilities in the future. Our innovative approach provides a roadmap for other municipalities to develop digital twins for their needs. Join us to discover how this advanced strategy can transform your city into a smarter community.

Columbia County’s first 3D project was in 2019 when Administration needed a presentation of a critical rezoning project site. A 3D model was developed to showcase the proposed vision of a 40-acre mixed-use development and facilitated project approval. GIS continues to expand workflows and products with 3D technologies. SiteScan is used for photogrammetry, volumetric analysis, and situational awareness of physical assets, facilities, public safety incidents, and land disturbance. A 3D basemap is used in ArcGIS Urban. This presentation will review our 3D journey to better serve the community.
