Cell Tower and Mobile Mast 3D Inspection Case Study

A high detail, browser based 3D inspection workflow built for complex telecom structures. Designed for surveyors who need visual clarity, remote access, and the ability to reference source imagery.

If the model does not load on your network, tell me what platform you’re using and I’ll provide an alternative viewing link.

What this delivers for inspection teams

  • Visual clarity

    Clean geometry and high resolution textures, so the model is genuinely usable for inspection.

  • Browser based access

    No specialist software required, works anywhere a surveyor can open a link.

  • Traceable detail

    Designed to link back to source images for deeper checking and reporting confidence.

The challenge

Photogrammetry struggles with repeating patterns, thin members, cables, and complex lattices. It’s easy to produce a model that looks fine at a distance, but breaks down when you zoom in. This workflow was built to hold up under inspection, not just look good in a demo.

Workflow overview

  1. Site capture planning for coverage and overlap

  2. Flight and image capture designed for complex geometry

  3. Processing and optimisation for web hosting

  4. Model delivery with inspection friendly navigation

  5. Optional source image referencing and reporting support

Deliverables

  • Hosted web based 3D model link

  • Inspection ready 3D model, optimised for smooth viewing

  • Optional hotspots or references back to source imagery

  • Optional stills, annotated snapshots, or issue log for reporting
