Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway - Topographical Surveys

Topographic Surveys of the Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway study area are underway.

This survey is being undertaken to determine ground levels throughout the study area, which are being carried out by drone, a standard methodology of aerial topographic survey.

The surveyors and their equipment are licensed to undertake these surveys by the Irish Aviation Authority, and the data obtained will be processed in compliance with GDPR requirements about the anonymisation of data.

The surveyors (Murphy Geospatial) will be working from west to east from Dundalk through to Carlingford, however, they may be required to undertake surveys out of sequence at other locations for survey control. The drones used will generally be flying at a high level although will briefly be at lower levels when taking off and landing.

The surveys are on hold from today until 29th January due to adverse weather conditions. Following this, surveys are anticipated to last for a further week, subject to weather conditions.

Further updates will be published on the project website in advance of the 29th of January 2025 outlining the proposed locations and days these surveys will be undertaken:
