Surveying for the revitalisation of the Ron
The Ron forms the outflow of the Rotsee near Lucerne. In order to better protect the communities of Ebikon, Buchrain, Dierikon and Root from flood damage, the Ron is being widened and revitalized along two thirds of its length. Basler & Hofmann is mandated with the project planning from the invitation to tender through to commissioning, including site supervision. We are also responsible for the client's survey.
To improve flood protection and revitalization, various walls have to be built or moved back, bridges widened or raised and culverts renewed. We are responsible for the client survey in the project. Local geodetic networks for the numerous engineering structures and a contractor GNSS fixed point network are being created across the entire project perimeter. Monitoring measurements of culverts, railroad tracks, electricity pylons and bridges along the stream are also carried out. After completion of a project section, it is flown using UAVs and the resulting orthophotos and terrain models are used to create a plan of the completed work.
