Feasibility study for the reconstruction of the artificial slalom course in Kadaň.

The goal of the project was to design and plan the reconstruction of the artificial slalom course in Kadaň to improve the conditions for various water sports and turn the area into a recreational zone suitable for relaxation. In the first step, we used a drone to photograph the entire area, approximately 200 meters long, and applied photogrammetry technology to create a 3D model. This model was then converted into CAD, and the riverbed was modified, with new elements such as obstacles and shoreline adjustments designed. The model was then used for CFD flow simulations in the channel to verify the accuracy of the design. Finally, the model was printed on a 3D printer and presented to the Kadaň city council to demonstrate our proposal.

From the beginning, we selected the innovative “digital twin” technology for this project. This technology involves creating a digital replica of the terrain, which can be adjusted throughout the project to ensure it meets all requirements. Evaluations can be conducted both virtually (e.g., 3D visualizations, CFD flow modeling) and physically (e.g., printed models for visualization or flow assessment). The final result serves as project documentation and may also be used to print real-world objects with unconventional shapes. For this project, we are collaborating with Scoolpt on the future design of dynamic obstacles and wavy shores.

A key advantage of this technology is the integration and interconnection of all elements. By using a BIM cloud environment, the entire process can be simplified into a step-by-step and precise 3D project.
