One of the greatest challenges in any site investigation is ensuring that boreholes, trial pits and testing locations provide sufficient coverage and target the most critical areas of the site.
By undertaking a UAV survey before mobilisation, Southern Testing can optimise investigation strategies through:
- Precise terrain mapping
- Identification surface features
- Identification of inaccessible areas
- Geo-Hazard mapping
- Assessment of vegetation cover
- Selection of optimum drilling locations
- Route planning for investigation equipment
- Improved health and safety planning
This can result in more effective investigations, reduced site time, and greater confidence that potential risks have been adequately assessed.
