Aerophotos
Alternative sources of information
Environmental concerns can be addressed by aerial photography analysis to document prior use and onsite activities. Aerial photography is used to interpret surface and subsurface features. The analysis often reveals information that is not documented by the authorities.
We assist the Ministry of Transport, Road Directive and real estate developers by using current and historic aerial photography as a tool in the planning process. By conducting a change analysis, a process whereby current imagery is viewed in conjunction with older imagery, developers can identify growth and infrastructure patterns to determine suitability of candidate site locations for residential, industrial, and commercial developments.
Activities
- Purchase of aerial photos for the relevant period
- Aerial photography analysis including;
1. Surface conditions
2. Physical boundaries
3. Prior use and/or onsite activities at any given period in time
4. Subsurface features
5. Site reconnaissance for further clarification
The report includes an evaluation of potential sources of contamination displayed on a map using GIS to show multi-layer "time-sequenced" data. Cost related to suggested future investigations will be indicated.
