Belfast Tidal Study


Project overview

Survey of flood defences along the river Lagan and threshold levels in Belfast City centre/East Belfast. The survey consisted of 7.5kms of flood defences and 1,200 threshold levels. The project was surveyed and delivered in 6 weeks.


Project solution

  • Surveys carried out using a variety of methods and technologies including precise levelling, Trimble S6 Robotic total station and Trimble R10 GNSS receivers.
  • Integrated surveying techniques increased accuracy and efficiency.
  • Our teams were required to gain access to over 600 private residential properties to survey door step levels. Access was achieved for all properties.
  • Survey of flood defences along the Lagan included over 2kms of Belfast harbour. We worked with the Belfast port authority to achieve access to secure areas located in the port.

Project delivery

  • AutoCAD 2D and 3D for flood defences along with ASCII output.
  • AutoCAD 2D and Mapinfo for threshold levels.
