Irish mapping agencies Office of Public Works (OPW) are the state agency in Ireland tasked with management of physical Irish coast line and coastal defences (20 -30 staff) Ordnance Survey Ireland (OSi) are the semi-state agency in Ireland tasked with management of onshore topographic mapping (140 -170 staff) Geological Survey Ireland (GSi) are the state agency in Ireland tasked with mapping of onshore/offshore geological mapping (50 -80 staff)
Phase 2 – Coastal DTM’s • Inclusion of high resolution coastal DTM’s • The coastal DTM will extend up to at least Highest Astronomical Tide -to 12nm offshore • E.g. Bantry Dunmanus
Vessel bathymetry Water column penetrating Marine LIDAR
SHALLOW WATER VERY TURBID WATER Drawbacks of Marine LIDAR usage:- Turbidity (clarity of water)- Contact resolution (1m x 1m dot density ideal)- Cost (generally a factor of 5 increase as against onshore LIDAR)- Increased post-processing capacity required

Satellite mapping! 2012 test area in Wexford PROTEUS Ltd WorldView-2 Satellite Map of Wexford Harbour derived from satellite Imagery. 0-10m Useful overview but not accurate enough (2m x 2m)for shipping safety
Drawbacks of Satellite usage:- Turbidity (clarity of water) - Cloud (needs clear skies)- Contact resolution (2m x 2m dot density ideal)- Cost (generally a factor of 2 -3 increase on equivalent ship cost)- Increased post-processing capacity required

Office of Public Works (OPW) Topographic coastal LIDAR Surveys in Ireland • The best topographic coastal LIDAR flying dates are on the days of spring tide. • The OPW LIDAR data flown in the coastal regions of Ireland are seeking coverage out to mid tide only. • There are flown with the expressed end usage of managing coastal defences LIDAR LIDAR

Topographic onshore LIDAR Surveys in Ireland flown by OSi All Osi Topo Lidar flown to High Water Mark (HWM)
Topographic coastal LIDAR Surveys in Ireland flown by OSi • The best terrestrial LIDAR flying dates are on the days of spring tide. • Terrestrial LIDAR has no water penetration capability. • The spring tide day usually occurs a day or two after both the full moon and then the new moon days of any calendar month. • There are usually 2 spring tides in a calendar month. • Flying to capture the low tide mark is only optimum for one (1) hour either side of the low water time on those spring tide days.
Vessel costs: Medium water vessels €14,000 per day Medium to shallow vessels €7000 per day Shallow water vessels €3000 per day Marine LIDAR costs: Survey mobilisation €250k Per bay cost --- complex €500k least complex €100k Topographic LIDAR costs: Survey mobilisation €25k - €50k Per bay cost --- complex €100k least complex €20k Satellite costs: Survey mobilisation 50% of contract price Per bay cost --- complex €50k least complex €20k
