What Data Is Included With A Height Map Of London?

These products deliver comprehensive three dimensional models of Great Britain’s terrain, available as digital terrain models (DTMs) or digital surface models (DSMs). A DTM focuses exclusively on the ground surface, removing features such as buildings and trees to represent the bare earth. Conversely, a DSM includes these elevated features, offering a surface-level perspective with objects like buildings, vegetation, and infrastructure.

Why Use London Height Map Data?

 

Reduce the Need for On-Site Visits; With our London height maps, you can assess the terrain from your screen, saving valuable time. Quickly evaluate risks like flash flooding on roads, homes, or infrastructure, and conduct tasks like viewshed analysis, drainage studies, and traffic noise assessments—all without leaving your office.
.

Create Realistic Virtual Landscapes; OS Terrain 5 enables accurate visualisation of construction projects within their environmental context. By simulating the surrounding landscape, it provides planners with a clear height map of London & representation of proposed developments, helping to evaluate and minimise visual impacts on the area.

 

Optimise Natural and Technical Resources; Height map data helps you harness environmental factors. Analyse wind speed and signal propagation to make informed decisions about siting wind turbines in exposed upland areas to maximise energy generation or placing mobile phone masts to meet growing data demands effectively.

London height map data simplifies complex assessments, offering a cost-effective and time-efficient solution for planning, analysis, and decision-making in various fields.
