Operational Impact
The successful completion of the project has significantly enhanced Oman's national security and disaster preparedness. The digital twin, brought to life with animated videos, allows the government to simulate flooding and produce a day/night cycle. This capability enables the government to determine secure routes in case of climate emergencies and improve security in hidden and rugged areas. The project has also set a precedent for similar 3D modeling services in the region. The cost savings achieved during the project are now being leveraged by the Oman government for complex scenario planning and optimized solutions that keep the country secure and prepared for any potential disruption to regular life. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Expanded the digital twin from the planned 250 square kilometers to 280 square kilometers. | |
Saved USD 150,000 by reducing resource hours. | |
Completed the project 35 days ahead of the aggressive 125-day schedule, saving an additional USD 48,000. | |
