Non-intrusive surveys for sensitive sites, embankments and watercourses
We provide non-intrusive surveys for sensitive and protected sites, riverbanks and embankments. Drone and LiDAR surveys capture accurate data from the air without disturbing the ground or habitat, which makes them well suited to SSSIs, wetlands and conservation areas. Repeat surveys show how banks, slopes and landforms are changing over time.
Sensitive sites need surveying without disturbance, and they are often large, wet or difficult to access on foot. Erosion and slope movement happen gradually, so a single survey only tells part of the story. Clients need reliable, comparable data over time to make decisions and meet regulatory requirements.
Drone photogrammetry and LiDAR capture large areas quickly and with a light footprint, and LiDAR can map the ground beneath vegetation. Combined with GNSS control, repeat surveys can be compared accurately to measure bank erosion, embankment condition and changes in landform.
Our surveys are non-intrusive, accurate and repeatable, giving you dependable data on how a site is changing. We work carefully around sensitive habitats and plan flights to minimise disturbance. Where engineering is needed, for example to stabilise a bank or embankment, Matrix Consulting Engineers can design the solution.
