Product.
The survey was supplied in digital 3D format for use with PDS design software. We have revisited and extended the site as design requirements changed. The final survey was linked to a previous survey of the settlement reservoir (supplied by the client).
Method.
Conventional Survey methods were used. Substantial tree canopy cover and vegetation along the route made the job unsuitable for GPS.		   click for larger picture Photographs.
