Ulster Canal Restoration

Aerial imagery and LiDAR data used to create digital models to help restore the Ulster Canal

Working for Waterways Ireland via JBA Consulting, Astrium Services was contracted to provide geo-information products for the restoration of the Ulster Canal.

Astrium Services undertook the acquisition of simultaneous aerial photography and Lidar data and survey control for a 20km section, for the production of:

  • orthophotos
  • long sections,
  • cross sections
  • digital ground model
  • 3D building outlines

The area of interest for the survey is of the former canal alignment from Clones to Lough Erne which runs across the borders in Ireland.

The finalised project requirements included the provision of heighted 3D building outlines in critical zones adjacent to the existing canal and proposed canal restoration routes.

Also, working with the client to ensure seamless merging of bathymetric mapping data for Lough Erne which had also been collected as part of the overall canal restoration study.
