2-Dimensional Models


		Topographic scale models can be made of existing locations. These models are prepared at a true scale, and show local roads, bridges, watercourses, buildings and terrain in realistic detail. The model shown at left encompasses about 15 square kilometres, at a scale of 1:5000, and measures 0.9 m by 1.1 m. It includes both the existing landfill site and the proposed facility in easily interchangeable modules. Custom made wooden display cases include plexiglass dust covers can be built to any dimension. Ideal for public display of engineering, architectural and landscape concepts. Easily transportable. Depending upon your required scope, detailing can range from conceptual to realistic, in both colour and shape. The figure at left shows an interchangeable module being put in place.


			This true scale model shows the actual materials and dimensions of a landfill liner and water collection system. It stands 3 m high and can be displayed in either full height or two desktop halves.

			This desktop model shows a cutaway of the geologic materials below a proposed landfill, including actual soil samples. Groundwater observation wells are shown in detail, including representative water levels. Constructed in a convenient plexiglass stand, engineering details were described on the attached panels.
