Pfaffendorf Bridge
The Pfaffendorf Bridge is the oldest bridge over the Rhine at Koblenz. It carries the B 49 across the river and connects central Koblenz with Pfaffendorf and Ehrenbreitstein. The original bridge was completed in 1864, destroyed during the Second World War, and reopened in its current form in 1953.
The client needed maximum-detail documentation to investigate damage to the bridge structures. Because several facade surfaces are curved, SPM3D proposed a photogrammetric workflow with facade orthophoto generation, allowing the bridge faces to be reprojected into measurable flat views while preserving visual detail.
Final results included a generalized LOD 200 3D CAD model, horizontal and vertical sections, 6 facade orthophotos and 12 2D drawings. Processing took 12 days and produced a complete documentation set for structural review.
