Mega project mapping! Snowy 2.0, our 2,200 megawatt pumped-hydro mega project, is a big build! We need extensive, accurate surveying and geospatial data from above ground and deep underground, where we're excavating about 40 kilometres of tunnels and a huge power station cavern the size of two football fields! Snowy Hydro is working with Australian geospatial information specialist, IntelliSpatial which is utilising world's best practice, high definition 3D models to help us deliver the project.
