North Ipswich Railway Workshops - 3D geospatial digital preservation

The Extent Heritage and Euclideon team were engaged by Queensland Rail to undertake an archival recording of the heritage-listed North Ipswich Railway Workshops, the first railway workshops constructed in Queensland.

We took the opportunity to record the complex’s major industrial workshops (and hundreds of items of moveable heritage), using a combination of traditional photographic records augmented with 3D scanning technology. This archival record provides an accurate record of this state heritage place, in a manner that provides a platform for its future interpretation.

Services provided:

  • Photographic archival recording

  • 3D capture archival recording

  • Built heritage assessment

  • Moveable heritage audit

  • Historical research

  • Stakeholder consultation
