Imagine having a high-tech health check for ancient buildings and ruins to see how rising seas or floods might damage them. It uses 3D scanning and smart sensors to spot danger zones before they collapse. Then, it suggests the best way to fix or protect the site, like a digital guidebook for preservation.
Cultural heritage sites lack a systematic way to identify and quantify risks from climate change, such as rising sea levels and erosion. This leads to inefficient preservation efforts and unexpected structural failures.
A Decision Support Platform with recommendation engines and digital twins, and an electronic repository for site-specific risk and mitigation data.
If you are a restoration firm dealing with unpredictable site decay — this project developed a Decision Support Platform that quantifies risk severity and optimizes the selection of mitigation measures. This allows for more precise planning of structural repairs.
If you are a sensor company dealing with the need for specialized water quality tools — this project developed a spectroscopic sensor for water quality monitoring. This expands the use case for sensing hardware in heritage preservation.
If you are a mapping company dealing with underwater site surveys — this project validated the use of flash LiDAR for 3D mapping of underwater sites. This enables more accurate erosion monitoring for coastal clients.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost structure has been disclosed.
The project is being validated across 8 different sites, suggesting a scalable methodology for various types of heritage risks.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the output includes a Decision Support Platform and an electronic repository.
It integrates through an electronic repository that serves site-specific geological, historical, and climate data with search tools.
The project period runs from 2023-01-01 to 2025-12-31.
The consortium is diverse, consisting of 22 partners across 7 countries. It has a balanced mix of 7 universities and 5 research centers, supported by 4 industry SMEs and 6 other organizations. The 18% industry ratio indicates a strong academic lead with a targeted path toward practical application through small-scale industrial partners.
