NDRA, the French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency, has completed a rigorous two year analysis into GeoVisionary and has given the system the official go-ahead. GeoVisionary will act as an umbrella 3D visualisation system for data from various sources; principally Andra’s Geo database, which holds samples and geoscientific data and SAGD, a database which holds all the real-time experimental data collected from thousands of sensors in numerous drifts and bore holes.
Adrien Mangeot, Information Systems Engineer within Andra’s Department of Research and Development Division, explained: “We were wowed the first time we encountered GeoVisionary at the British Geological Survey (BGS). The idea of being able to visualise all our data in 3D, including photos, GoCad geological data, borehole data, details of geological faults, geological maps and even our own laboratories 490 meters below ground level, astounded us. Working closely with BGS, we have thoroughly tested and experimented with our various data sources with GeoVisionary before taking the plunge and implementing GeoVisionary as our 3D visualisation system.” Read More
