A photorealistic, navigable reconstruction of an operating telecom monopole — built directly from a systematic drone inspection capture. This is not a stock 3D model or an artist's approximation: every visible antenna face, mount, cable loop, platform, and section of the compound comes from calibrated imagery of the real tower. Metashape solved 719 camera positions and an 83,473-point alignment cloud from the capture; those calibrated views then trained the Gaussian model at up to 3072-pixel resolution over 30,000 optimization steps. The point cloud proves the alignment — the Gaussian twin shows the asset. The interactive viewer is a cleaned, compressed publishing derivative; the full 1.67-million-Gaussian master remains the archival source. Presented for visual inspection, stakeholder review, and planning — not survey-certified measurement.
