We are proud to announce that Andy Beardsley, director of Terra Measurement Limited and a long-time specialist with the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), will be speaking at the upcoming SPAB & STBA Conference 2024, themed New Ideas for Old Buildings.
The event will take place on 5th November 2024 and will bring together thought leaders and professionals committed to the preservation of our built heritage. As a specialist to SPAB since 2016 and an SPAB Guardian on the Technical and Research Committee, Andy has contributed to numerous heritage conservation projects. His expertise in geospatial surveying has helped preserve some of the UK's most iconic buildings.
Talk Title: Reinventing Heritage – Empowering Old Building Conservation with Best Practice 3D Geospatial Surveys
At this year’s conference, Andy will deliver a 20-minute talk titled "Reinventing Heritage: Empowering Old Building Conservation with Best Practice 3D Geospatial Surveys." His presentation will explore the pivotal role of 3D geospatial data in heritage conservation, highlighting innovative techniques that offer unparalleled accuracy and insight for restoring and maintaining historic structures.
Andy’s presentation will align with the conference’s theme by demonstrating how modern technologies, such as laser scanning and photogrammetry, are revolutionising the way we manage and preserve our heritage buildings. From capturing 3D data twins of heritage sites to supporting disaster recovery and public engagement through immersive virtual reality (VR), Terra Measurement’s work is setting new standards in the field.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Conservation with 3D Data
Terra Measurement’s forward-thinking approach to heritage conservation combines cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of the historical and cultural significance of the sites we survey. Our 3D geospatial surveys provide an invaluable resource not only for current restoration projects but also for future conservation efforts, ensuring that these treasured buildings can be preserved for generations to come.
Join us at the SPAB & STBA Conference 2024 as we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in heritage conservation, bringing new ideas and innovations to the field.
