TIDAL SURVEY SOUTH EAST ENGLAND
Sector Land & Rail
Region Europe
Cyberhawk was asked by a major utility company to provide topographic survey data and high-resolution aerial photography of a 4km route in a tidal area in South East England. The site comprised of an area of open beach and marsh. Remote aerial data acquisition was the ideal method to use as large areas had to be covered very quickly before the tide came back in.
There was no safe ground access to the area from land so access by boat was arranged. GPS survey techniques were used to observe ground control markers around the site. The survey of the area was undertaken at low tide to ensure the maximum amount of data could be acquired.
Cyberhawk deployed a two man team of a land surveyor and pilot to survey the site using multi-rotor UAVs alongside GPS equipment.
