Topographic Survey of Warsamson Dam using LiDAR and Terrestrial Methods
This project involves conducting a comprehensive topographic survey for the Warsamson Dam. The aim is to provide accurate and detailed topographic data to support the planning, construction, and maintenance of the dam.
Project Description:
The project utilizes advanced LiDAR and terrestrial survey techniques to capture high-resolution topographic data. Detailed maps and models are created to provide a visual representation of the dam area, highlighting critical features and ensuring precise measurements.
Objectives:
- Topographic Survey: Conduct detailed surveys using LiDAR and terrestrial methods to gather accurate topographic data.
- Mapping: Create comprehensive maps and 3D models to visualize the topographic data and assist in decision-making.
- Data Support: Provide high-quality topographic data to support the planning, construction, and maintenance of the Warsamson Dam.
Methodology:
- Data Collection:
- Conduct LiDAR surveys to capture high-resolution elevation data.
- Perform terrestrial surveys using total stations and GPS equipment to gather detailed topographic information.
- Validate and supplement data through field surveys.
- Data Processing: Utilize GIS and CAD software to process the collected data, including filtering, classification, and generation of digital elevation models (DEM).
- Mapping: Generate detailed topographic maps and 3D models that include elevation data, contour lines, and other critical features to support various stages of dam planning and management.
