Digital Preservation of Historic Racing Infrastructure

LoD 300 heritage BIM models delivered to modernise a landmark racing venue without compromising its historical integrity. A renowned horse racing facility required a high-precision Structural BIM model to support a major renovation programme while preserving the architectural and historical character of the site. The project involved transforming fragmented point-cloud datasets into a unified digital twin capable of guiding structural upgrades, restoration planning and multidisciplinary coordination.

"Heritage-focused BIM modelling created accurate digital twins, improved renovation coordination and preserved historical integrity across complex structural restoration projects. "

Modelling approach for heritage renovation

Challenge

The renovation demanded a delicate balance between modern engineering requirements and the preservation of the venue’s historic identity. Complex steel frameworks, architectural details and legacy structural elements had to be replicated with exact accuracy from large-scale point-cloud scans, while ensuring the BIM environment remained dependable for real-world construction and refurbishment activities.

Approach

SBL Infotech deployed MMS — its Managed Media Services platform — to govern the complete heritage BIM workflow from point-cloud intake through structural modelling, quality validation and coordinated digital delivery. Structural engineers, heritage specialists and architectural teams collaborated to convert raw laser-scan data into detailed Revit-based LoD 300 BIM models. Multi-level quality-control frameworks validated structural precision, architectural alignment and preservation integrity across all deliverables. Integrated workflows ensured steel frameworks, historical elements and renovation requirements were coordinated inside a single, construction-ready digital environment designed for heritage-sensitive execution.

Outcome

The client transformed fragmented legacy documentation into a precise digital twin capable of supporting faster, lower-risk renovation planning for a historically significant sporting landmark. Accurate BIM coordination reduced site uncertainty, improved collaboration between architects and contractors, and preserved critical architectural character throughout the refurbishment process. The engagement established a scalable preservation-first BIM operating model capable of supporting heritage estates, sports venues and complex historical infrastructure projects — combining engineering-grade precision with long-term architectural conservation at enterprise scale.

Reliving History with Geospatial Intelligence
US university research initiative

Reliving History with Geospatial Intelligence

260 years of fragmented historical maps transformed into a georeferenced spatial database for anthropological and land-use analysis. A prominent US university needed to study the historical evolution of Uxeau, France, across multiple centuries of land ownership, taxation, and agricultural activity. The research depended on digitising and harmonising vintage maps dating back to 1759 — each with different scales, formats, and levels of degradation — into a single spatially accurate GIS environment suitable for comparative analysis. 260+ years of historical mapping digitised and layered. Lambert II precision georeferencing using Esri GIS tools. Multi-era land parcel and feature extraction delivered at scale.

"Historical GIS digitisation transformed fragmented archival maps into a searchable spatial database, accelerating anthropological research and long-term land-use analysis. "
AI-Powered CT Scan Annotation

AI-Powered CT Scan Annotation

30,000+ CT scans annotated at 98.9% segmentation accuracy for AI-driven radiology models. A US-based MedTech AI company developing radiology models for tumour detection and analysis required clinically precise annotation support to accelerate model training and validation. Existing workflows faced rising costs, limited access to qualified medical annotators and growing compliance pressure around handling sensitive patient imaging data.

HIPAA-compliant medical annotation workflows improved radiology AI accuracy, accelerated tumour detection model training and reduced operational costs significantly.

Mortgage Foreclosure Data Management

40%+ faster foreclosure data processing with 50% higher accuracy across multi-county property records. A US-based mortgage data company managing property intelligence across more than 155 million properties and 3,000+ counties required a scalable operational model for foreclosure data collection and processing. Their existing workflows relied heavily on manual back-office operations, creating delays, inconsistencies and rising operational overhead across fragmented government data sources.

Standardised foreclosure processing improved nationwide property data accuracy, reduced turnaround times and created a scalable mortgage intelligence operations framework.
