ABSTRACT: Remote sensing techniques offer cost effective tools for characterizing terrain conditions for geotechnical and environmental assessment of linear infrastructure routes. A routing study for a high-voltage overhead transmission line highlights the utility of remote sensing for evaluating slope stability, flood frequency at a major river crossing, and potential impacts to environmentally sensitive aeolian soils. Remote sensing tools used include black and white stereoscopic air photos, high-resolution colour orthoimagery, and digital elevation data generated from photogrammetric analysis and LiDAR data. Interpretation of these data sets was aided by ground and helicopter field reconnaissance and publically available information including water well logs, soils maps, and hydrologic data. Study results illustrate information that can be gained from remote sensing techniques, the value of integrating this information with other data sources, and examples of specific terrain features that can be studied using remote sensing products.
RÉSUMÉ: Les techniques de télédétection offrent des outils efficaces et peu coûteux pour procéder à la caractérisation démontré la stabilité des pentes, la fréquence des inondations au point de ère importante, ainsi que les impacts potentiels sur les sols éolienne écologiquement sensibles. Les outils de télédétections incluent les photos aériennes -imagerie en couleur à interprétation des données a été bonifiée par des travaux de reconnaissance de terrain, au sol et informations disponibles au public, incluant des données hydrogéologiques, des cartes pédologiques et des données hydrologiques. Les résultats de qui peut être obtenue par techniques de télédétection, der ce information aux données de base obtenues par fournit des exemples de terrains types qui peuvent être étudiés en utilisant ces méthodes de télédétection.
