What we did
Case Study: Detailed Topographical and Cadastral Survey Using Drones for a 2320 Hectare Pressurised Pipeline & Irrigation Project
Location: Gram- Sonakpura, Barauta, Imlauta, Shahpura, Gurha, Tehsil Garautha, District Jhansi
Introduction
Npackets Private Limited undertook the ambitious project of conducting a detailed topographical and cadastral survey for a pressurised pipeline and irrigation project spanning 2320 hectares. This project covered multiple villages, including Sonakpura, Barauta, Imlauta, Shahpura, and Gurha in the Tehsil Garautha region of Jhansi District.
Objectives
To provide accurate topographical data for the design and implementation of the irrigation project.
To create a comprehensive cadastral map for land ownership and usage assessment.
To ensure precise planning for the pressurised pipeline layout.
Methodology
1. Pre-Survey Planning:
Site Reconnaissance: Initial visits to understand the terrain and identify potential obstacles.
Flight Planning: Utilizing advanced software to design optimal flight paths ensuring complete coverage of the area.
2. Data Collection:
Drone Survey: Using high-resolution UAVs equipped with LiDAR and photogrammetric cameras to capture detailed images and 3D data.
DGPS Survey: Establishing ground control points (GCPs) with Differential GPS to enhance the accuracy of the aerial data.
3. Data Processing:
Orthomosaic Generation: Creating high-resolution, georeferenced orthomosaic maps from the aerial imagery.
DTM and DSM Creation: Developing Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM) for accurate representation of the terrain.
Contour Mapping: Generating detailed contour maps at specified intervals.
Cadastral Mapping: Integrating cadastral data to produce precise property boundaries and land ownership maps.
4. Analysis and Reporting:
Data Validation: Cross-checking the survey data with existing records and ground truthing.
Report Generation: Compiling the findings into comprehensive reports, including maps, charts, and 3D models.
Challenges
Varied Terrain: The diverse topography required meticulous planning and execution to ensure complete data coverage.
Weather Conditions: Adverse weather occasionally impacted drone flights, necessitating flexible scheduling.
Results
High-Resolution Maps: Generated orthomosaic maps with a resolution sufficient for detailed planning and analysis.
Accurate Models: Developed precise DTM and DSM to aid in the design of the irrigation system.
Cadastral Clarity: Produced comprehensive cadastral maps to assist in land management and dispute resolution.
Efficient Planning: The accurate data enabled more efficient and cost-effective project planning and execution.
Conclusion
The detailed topographical and cadastral survey conducted by Npackets Private Limited significantly contributed to the successful planning and implementation of the pressurised pipeline and irrigation project. Our use of cutting-edge drone and DGPS technology ensured the accuracy and reliability of the data, supporting effective decision-making and project execution.
