The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay project monitors the coastal bluff upon which the Ritz Carlton hotel sits, keeping tabs on environmental soil erosion that might pose a future safety risk for guests, or even the structure itself.
Using high-definition 3D laser scans, VEC collects images of the cliff face, the Ritz Carlton building, and the multi-column support structure embedded within the terrain.
These scans are eventually translated into detailed, 2D As-Built Line Drawings, which are compared against datasets collected in previous years, revealing any signs of erosion or geological activity.
"It's amazing how fast and how much the bluff has receded over the last year. To be able to capture and analyze this data really opens my eyes to what this technology can be used for." -Omar H.
"It was a pleasure working alongside AECOM to analyze the corrosion of the bluff using Laser scanning Technology and Drone Photogrammetry. The data we captured is essential as it will provide insight into the stability and safety of the bluff." - Jesus C.
