The City of Napoli has launched an innovative project for the digitalization of the map and data relating to the city's subsoil, using 3D technology.
This will allow a future virtual exploration of the subsoil, allowing a detailed view of the cavities, surveys, studies and geological surveys carried out to date.
The project, entrusted to the company Digicarta Srl and presented at the Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering of the University Federico II, aims to create a three-dimensional digital model of the subsoil connected to the Smart City 3D web platform. This will allow for a complete and interactive view of the subsoil in relation to the aboveground.
The process initially involves the transfer to the platform of a large database, including approximately 800 cavities with two-dimensional relief.
Subsequently, three-dimensional surveys and further elements such as the consistency and structure of walls, slopes and ridges will be inserted, also involving the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research.
Mayor Gaetano Manfredi stressed that this project is part of the strategies of the Municipality of Naples for the understanding, analysis and management of hydrogeological risk and territorial governance.
The Councilor for Infrastructure, Mobility and Civil Protection, Edoardo Cosenza, added that the platform will be an important digital resource for the knowledge and protection of the city's underground heritage, and in the future it will be the basis for shared access to digital twins and connected databases, in order to support strategic decisions for the protection of the territory.
