Coastal Mapping

Reality Mapping have been developing techniques for the utilisation of terrestrial laser mapping (LiDAR) in monitoring coastal zones for the past two years.

Typical Applications

Typical coastal mapping services provided by Reality Mapping include:

  • Erosion/Accretion studies
  • Beach level monitoring
  • Flood Forecasting
  • Detailed flood zone mapping
  • Flood relief channel routing
  • Slope stability and geo-technical studies
  • Survey of inaccessible areas
  • Continuous slope monitoring of high risk areas
  • Coastal Planning
  • Asset/Resource Management
  • 3D visualisation
  • Volumetric calculations for landfill and dredging applications

 

Projects Previously Undertaken

We have undertaken a number of surveys for various clients where we have visited specific locations of coastal erosion every six months. These locations are typically very isolated and involve up to 2km walk from the nearest road. Control of laser scan data was made with GPS. Scanners have also been used in the mapping of extensive areas of beach and intertidal zone, many kilometers in length, to provide accurate and detailed baseline information for subsequent coastal monitoring projects or as part of Shoreline Management Plans.
