Dissertation (75) – “Assessing the Usefulness of Geomatic Data for Breach Analysis”,this project examined the variety of geomatic data commercially available which could be used to aid breach analysis both for remedial and monitoring purposes.A case study was used of a canal breach in 2007 along the Monmouth and Breconshire Canal caused by embankment failure.I was able to successfully carry out a Terrestrial Laser Scan at the case study site to determine if this could provide any added value to traditional survey methods that are currently used to record post breach information.

  Bsc (hons) geography, surveying and mapping science

  This was a broad-based course examining aspects of geomatics and geography. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) accredits the Geomatics division of my degree. Theory was applied to practice through intensive case study assignments, fieldwork, laboratory sessions and lectures.
