Aerial survey of Grand River in Galt using drones
Drone Inspection Planned for Galt's West Flood Protection Wall
The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) has announced that a drone inspection will be conducted on the West Flood Protection Wall in the Galt area. The goal of this project is to ensure the wall continues to meet necessary standards for flood protection, and to identify any areas that require preventative maintenance or minor structural repairs[1][2][3].
AECOM Canada ULC has been assigned by the GRCA to conduct the drone inspection, which is scheduled for Thursday and Friday. The inspection will focus on surveying the West Flood Protection Wall along the Grand River's west bank, between James Street and 5th Avenue[4][5].
The drone survey will collect information on the overall condition of the West Flood Protection Wall, as well as topographic data such as shoreline location, water elevations, tree locations, and vegetation. This data will provide valuable insights into the current state of the wall and help in planning future maintenance or improvement work[6][7].
The drone survey is weather-dependent, and the GRCA will make a decision on whether the inspection can proceed based on the forecast for the coming days. If successful, the survey will provide a detailed picture of the West Flood Protection Wall, which is essential for prolonging its service life and maintaining its flood protection standards[8][9].
The upcoming work aims to ensure the West Flood Protection Wall continues to provide effective flood protection for the community, and the drone inspection is a crucial first step in this process. As the work continues, the GRCA will provide more details about construction timing and other aspects of the project[10].
