Assessment & monitoring support

Environmental

Environmental work stands on spatial evidence. SEC supplies the mapping, terrain and water data that environmental assessment, restoration and monitoring programmes are built on — with repeat surveys planned to support comparison between epochs.

Sector challenges

Environmental questions are spatial questions

No baseline record

Impact cannot be assessed against conditions that were never mapped.

Change that outpaces records

Erosion, drawdown and land-use change measured too rarely to support decisions.

Hard-to-reach terrain

Wetlands, waterways and disturbed ground where conventional access is limited or unsafe.

Fragmented datasets

Studies, imagery and field measurements that never come together into one queryable picture.

Project lifecycle

Baseline, monitor, verify

  1. 01

    Baseline mapping

    Topographic and aerial capture establishing site conditions before work or assessment begins.

  2. 02

    Terrain & drainage modelling

    Surface models supporting hydrology, drainage and erosion analysis by specialist consultants.

  3. 03

    Water-body survey

    Survey of rivers, marshes and reservoirs below the waterline where the assessment needs it.

  4. 04

    Repeat monitoring surveys

    The same areas re-captured on the same control to support comparison between epochs.

  5. 05

    Spatial analysis & GIS

    Field data structured into layers, change maps and analyses for reporting and review.

  6. 06

    Evidence for reporting

    Maps, models and measured records supplied to the environmental consultants and authorities who assess them.

Technology approach

Measure lightly, document fully

Low-impact aerial capture

UAV mapping records sensitive or hard-to-reach ground from the air.

One reference frame

Monitoring epochs positioned on the same network control to support comparison between epochs.

GIS as the study record

Every epoch, layer and analysis kept in one structured, reviewable geospatial record.

Field equipment

DJI

DJI Matrice 300 RTK

A UAV platform of the type used to carry survey and inspection payloads, within the scope agreed for the project.

DJI

DJI Zenmuse L2

A LiDAR payload flown on a UAV platform to record ground and surface geometry as point measurements.

What you receive

Evidence, structured
