Cliff face surveys are part and parcel of the BCL survey diet. This particularly picturesque survey was carried out by our team in April and presented a number of challenges. The window of opportunity was small with access only possible for two hours during the lowest tides of the month.

We managed to carry out the survey of the cliff base without even getting our feet wet!

Here we used the latest laser technology, allowing for a very accurate +/-5mm survey of the cliff face and other remote features, without having to access the steep and dangerous cliff. The data provided to the engineers included the cliff face, dip and strike of strata and location of vegetation. The information was collated quickly and supplied to the engineers the following morning.

We love a challenge.
