Spending a fair bit of time at the beach in Adelaide it is interesting to see Aerometrex get this contract for 3d modeling of sand movement. At beaches in WA sand replenishment is a big issue in Perth and Geraldton. I am sure it is an issue in various East coast locations too. Not a huge contract for approximately $0.34 million up to $0.68 million but an interesting market niche.

The SA government spends a lot of money pumping sand from North to South to replenish the beaches. They have to cart away all the weed before they can collect, then wash the stones out of the sand and pump it down the coast.

It will be interesting to see the results in progressive images.

South Australian Department for Environment and Water has awarded Aerometrex a contract to produce a high resolution 3D reality mesh project for volumetric sand analysis over the Adelaide Metropolitan coastline

Monthly capture of the relevant areas of interest (by helicopter) for 12 months commencing September 2024 and is expected to be completed in September 2025.

The contract reinforces Aerometrex’s position as a world leader in providing high resolution 3D imagery for use in environmental applications

“This is an important project that shows the value of high-resolution 3D reality mesh in environmental management of coastal protection"

Customer use cases associated with coastal environmental solutions in Australia and other locations represent one of Aerometrex’s target market segments.
