3D Model Conversion & Visualisation - Cable Enterprise Ship

Cable Enterprise Ship 3D CAD Model Textured in 3DS Max

Severn have again been working with Global Marine Systems on 3D modelling one of their cable laying ships for their on board 3D navigation system. The Cable Enterprise is approximately 120m x 30m in size and has recently been re-fitted by Global Marine Systems.

3D Model for retro-fit of Cable Laying Ship

Severn were given solid 3D models of the majority of components on the vessel from the mechanical engineers. These were then converted to a polygon model and refined to reduce the number of polygons from 15 million to 600,000 so that the model would functioned efficiently in the navigation software. The refined model was then texture mapped and exported in the required format.

Severn Partnership; a busy start to 2012

Severn Partnership: Providing a Level Perch

Since the start of 2012 the Severn Partnership have been working flat out on projects around the country. This has included ongoing High Output Track Renewal (HOTR) projects, work at Paddington station, the surveying of numerous bridges and the scanning of factories and a golf course.

We would also like to welcome two new members to the Severn Partnership team; Jonathan Harman and John Woods who have joined our survey team. With a busy schedule ahead look out for more blog posts of ongoing and completed projects.

'Read All About It' - Severn Partnership in the Birmingham Post Newspaper

Birmingham Post - 'Innovators look to the world and double turnover.'

If you happen to pick up a copy of the Birmingham Post this month and flick to page 7 of the 'Entrepreneur' section you will see an article on the Severn Partnership with our accountants RSM Tenon; 'Innovators look to the world and double turnover.'

The article has been written to discuss the success of the Severn Partnership over the previous few years with the help of RSM Tenon. It was back in 2004 that Mark Combes and Nick Blenkarn took the reigns of the company which now works extensively throughout the UK and worldwide providing a range of innovative solutions including railway surveying, 3D laser scanning, 3D modelling and Scan2BIM.

Cloud Computing with Google Apps at the Severn Partnership

Severn Partnership and Cloud Computing

Severn have fully moved to the 'Cloud'. 

For many years Severn have used cloud computing for many of its administrative tools such as its online schedule board. They have now fully moved to a 'Cloud' based communication system with all emails now streamed through the Google cloud system. All 30 members of staff moved smoothly to the new system, with emails converting from @severnpartnership.co.uk to @severnpartnership.com.

Severn have also recently upgraded their IT system with a state-of-the-art server with 24Gb of RAM and dual processors, 8Tb of data storage with high speed SA hard drives in a RAID system designed to achieve optimal data security.

All these improvements allow the Partnership to continue to offer Quality Data, Measured Safely and Delivered Professionally on Time.

Great Western Mainline Electrification Project - Structural Clearances

Great Western Mainline Electrification Project - Clearance for 150 Structures

Is it going to fit?

Severn Partnership has been assisting a major engineering consultancy in answering this question for 150 Structures on the Great Western Mainline as part of the Great Western Electrification Project.

Severn Partnership High Accuracy Railway Surveying

Severn Partnership Surveyors have been producing Topographical Surveys to establish Clearances for blacklisted structures and provide sufficient information surrounding the structure to allow for alteration proposals.

The 8 month long project, which ran on time saw at its peak up to 10 structures surveyed in a single night shift.

There were no incidents and Severn ensured that all the data was to the highest Quality, measured Safely and Delivered Professionally on Time.

Topographical Surveys for Structural Clearance Analysis

Track Renewals - Track Alignment & Cess Detail Surveying

High Accuracy Track Alignment & Cess Detail Surveying

With the continuous need to replace rail track, the Renewal train has played a vital role in delivering this rapid renewal system.  Working alongside this, Severn has provided the high accuracy survey data critical to its continuing success.

Track Renewal Train - Railway Surveying

Recently Severn have completed over 80,975 yards (approx. 46 miles) of topographical track alignment and cess detail survey along a section of the busy WCML LNW Route.  This work produced 30 digital survey models in both MX Genio and AutoCAD formats and 373 separate SC0 files for ClearRoute Gauging Analysis.

80% of the work was carried out in a Green Zone working environment, utilising both midweek night line blockages and weekend T3 possessions.  All the work was produced to the highest quality standards and delivered professionally on time.
