PLS-CADD Modellings & Assesments

challenge

Large volume of PLS-CADD Modelling

A specialist LiDAR survey provider required support to process a large volume of PLS‑CADD modelling in a compressed timeframe. The scale and complexity of the survey data created pressure on internal resources, and previous suppliers had struggled with communication and model quality. The client needed a trusted partner with the technical capability to convert raw survey outputs into accurate, build-ready PLS‑CADD and CAD models while maintaining consistency and quality.

SOLUTION

Dedicated PLS-CADD modelling and verification support

Groundline Engineering provided dedicated PLS‑CADD modelling and verification support, working directly with the client’s survey data to produce accurate representations of the transmission network. Leveraging deep software expertise, we built detailed models that reflected real-world geometry, clearances, and asset configuration. Our team applied improved workflows and data handling techniques to streamline model production, managing the high data volumes efficiently without compromising accuracy. Regular communication and progress updates ensured alignment throughout delivery, while verification and peer review checks were incorporated to maintain quality and consistency.

impact

High-quality deliverable, no rework and fast delivery

Groundline delivered high-fidelity PLS‑CADD and CAD models that improved visibility and confidence in the client’s network data. Model accuracy and realism increased, resulting in a higher quality output for end clients. The successful delivery strengthened long-term working relationships, leading to repeat work and additional bids in new international markets. The client now benefits from improved modelling capability, clearer communication, and a reliable delivery partner for future survey and modelling programmes.
