Aerial Progress Viewer for Austhorpe Lane Bridge

A lightweight browser-based visual record combining 3D model, orthophoto, DSM and Google Earth before/after context. Built to show how repeatable drone capture can support site clarity, stakeholder communication and monthly progress review without sending large folders of separate files.

Monthly Progress Record

This viewer can stay on the same URL for the life of the works. Each new capture can be added as a month tab, allowing the project team to click between current updates and previous records without needing new links, large downloads or specialist software.

One link • monthly updates
June capture selected. Future captures can be added here as the bridge reconstruction progresses, creating a clear month-by-month visual project history in one shareable viewer.

What this gives the project team

The value is not only the drone capture. It is the ability to package the capture into a single low-friction viewer that can be opened by project managers, site teams, commercial teams and stakeholders on any device.

Progress visibility

Repeat capture creates a clear record of visible change across the bridge works and surrounding site area.

Reduced file friction

The lightweight viewer opens quickly in a browser, while supporting technical files remain available as downloads.

Site communication

Useful for explaining access, work zones, demolition/reconstruction progress, surrounding constraints and programme context.

Project history

The same URL can build into a month-by-month record through to later stages of the bridge reconstruction.

Interactive 3D Bridge Model

The 3D model gives a quick visual understanding of the bridge location, surrounding context, site footprint and current condition. It is useful for people who need to understand the site without opening CAD, GIS or specialist survey software.

Orthophoto and DSM Slider

Drag the handle to compare the orthophoto with the DSM. The orthophoto gives a clean plan-view record of the works; the DSM adds surface and formation context for broad visual review.

Google Earth Before / After Fader

Use the fade control to compare the previous Google Earth context with the current site overlay. This gives a simple visual way to show change over time and explain the works without requiring the viewer to open mapping software.
