OREANDA-NEWS. November 01, 2011.Under SC "Olympstroy" order, Russian developers have created a digital model of natural processes taking place in the coastal and mountain clusters.

This system allows to assess the development of dangerous natural processes and their consequences during the design and construction of Olympic venues. The data is used in decision-making on the placement of Olympic venues.

Graphical layers in digital maps contain information on engineering protection structures, infrastructure placement, potential sources of dangerous natural processes and also worked out maps of possible risk zones. Any selected part of the Olympic territory can be rotated and viewed from any point.

The creation of a 3D map is carried out by laser scanning the territory and aerial photography using unmanned aerial drones. New data is imported to the computer that “builds” a 3D model.

SC "Olympstroy" presented a geo-ecological module of the geo-information support system based on 3D modeling at the meeting on ecological support and preparation of 2014 Olympic Games based on Coordination committee of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources.

Development and integration of electronic environmental passport were also explained at the meeting. This document is an expanded variant of reports on ecology, presented by parties responsible for construction of Olympic venues. The passport covers the most important issues of ecological support and is formed in a way that allows it to be adapted to the needs of the post-olympic period.
