Advancing – Line Pushing and Field Mapping
At Seisland we provide experienced Line Pushes with GPS capabilities on green area programs. We utilize the latest mapping programs such as ESRI, OZI and Mapwel software, along with the appropriate components of the following data: digital topographic, orthophotos or satellite imagery, Government Digital Elevation Models (DEM’s) or LiDAR data – bare earth, vegetation height or full feature, to ensure efficiency in the field. We can then pre-plan the optimal line locations for the seismic program. Our Field Mapping crews can locate and map utilities or facilities, ISP/PSP plots, accesses, and generate buffers, as required, for water features or riparian zones etc. Utilizing this information we can then provide an accurate Field Culture/Hazard Assessment Map prior to any actual cutting taking place on the ground. With proper lead time allotted for scouting/field mapping at the onset of the program, efficiencies will be realized with the line cutting operations throughout the program. The Line Pushes download and upload data from and to the GPS units which are utilized by the line cutting machines and line slashers; this information is transferred nightly with the Mapping Coordinator who produces up-to-date field maps with the following day’s production for all phases of the operation.
