Harbouring Data

Gathering various forms of data for the client: from locations of facilities and utilities, accurate readings of the harbour wall on a tidal river and photo/photogrammetry information of historical assets posed a  challenge for the surveying team. Success depended on applying Storm’s Four Cornerstones

• Reduce All Risks
  Tidal flows, historic structures, and live utilities posed significant hazards. Surveyor Tom coordinated access windows, safe working methods, and precise sequencing of tasks so all surveys could be completed without incident.

• Accurate Data Capture
  From Point Cloud to RPAS photogrammetry, each technique was selected to ensure accuracy. The team collated topographic, point cloud, and utility datasets, giving the client confidence in every measurement.

• Deliver on Time
  The scale of data collection and the tidal restrictions demanded tight scheduling. Storm’s teams worked in sync to gather all survey types within agreed windows, supported by weekly progress reports direct to their client’s project leaders.

• Superior Value
  By combining traditional topo surveying with advanced scanning and photogrammetry, Storm delivered a digital record that not only meets immediate project needs but also provides long-term asset insight — protecting both heritage and functionality.

• A level of expertise from the project lead Surveyor Tom Issac to the topographical, scanning, RPAS and utilities teams was vital to ensure that all data was gathered in a safe, timely and presentable manner.

• Key Issues:
  • Scale of site.
  • Complexity of deliverables.
  • Maintaining safe working practices.
  • Collating multiple types of data.
