Remote sensing for site investigation
Discover how remote sensing techniques are transforming the site investigation of contaminated land projects.
Registration for this event is now closed
Background
Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance (typically from satellite or aircraft). It is widely used by the military, intelligence and commercial sectors, and is increasingly being used to map and monitor the spatial distribution and concentration of land contamination.
Most remote sensing techniques, such as satellite imaging and aerial LiDAR scans, have been popular for geospatial analysis. More recently, close range remote sensing techniques have been developed for near-ground investigation. However, there is relatively low awareness of the benefits of remote sensing: the ability to generate accurate data in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Our expert speakers will explain the application of different remote sensing techniques in site investigation for land contamination and geotechnical proposes, highlighting recent developments.
Why attend
• Discover the benefits of remote sensing, such as radar and LiDAR, in ground
investigation in contaminated land projects
• Explore the pros, cons and applications of the latest remote sensing techniques
• Evaluate the data generated by the remote sensing techniques and how this is used in
contaminated land projects
• Hear case studies demonstrating how remote sensing can be used to assess
site conditions
• Earn valuable CPD
Who should attend
• Consultants
• Contractors
