Introduction
Located in Brittany, the Domaine des Ormes is a large tourist site whose management relies on a vast technical, natural, and built heritage. To support its sustainable development strategy, the Académie des Ormes called on UrbanThink to structure and enhance its technical data through an advanced GIS solution, designed as a true living memory of the site and a decision-making aid tool.
Issue
The Domaine had heterogeneous and scattered technical data: CAD plans, topographies, drone orthophotos, consumption data, field surveys, etc. The challenge was to centralize this information, ensure its up-to-date status over time, and extract maximum value from it to guide the future environmental and technical developments of the estate.
Process
UrbanThink has deployed a custom GIS application thanks to its ThinkCities solution, integrating the existing data layers in the field: point clouds, topographic surveys, orthophotographs, energy consumption. The tool was designed in collaboration with the site's technical teams, in partnership with Esri, to facilitate handling, visualization, and exploitation of the data. A dedicated training session was provided to ensure users' autonomy.
Results
The Académie des Ormes now has a dynamically structured spatial reference, capable of guiding its actions in land management, maintenance, or energy optimization. The tool enhances resilience and sustainable management of the site, while providing a clear and shared vision for its teams, serving a more responsible and sustainable tourism.
