Middle Blackdene
The UAV365 team were out at Middle Blackdene in Weardale, carrying out a full survey of the footbridge over the River Wear, deploying a multi-technology approach to capture the structure and its surroundings in detail.
Our Trimble X9 laser scanner captured the bridge with precision: deck, underside, parapets and abutments while the UAV covered the wider extents rapidly and clearly. GNSS tied everything together, establishing control across the site, picking up hard detail on the ground and providing the strong network that underpins the whole dataset.
A challenging riverside setting handled safely and efficiently, with every technique registering seamlessly into one unified model. A solid, well-controlled dataset now ready for processing and the next stage of the project.
