Detail Survey of Melba Park
Sector: Government – Infrastructure
Services: Underground
Completion date: 2024
Data: Feature survey plan, Digital Surface Model
Yarra Ranges Council engaged Landair Surveys to complete a detail survey of Melba Park, an active public space home to a croquet club, aquatic centre, and multiple sporting facilities.
To support future development and community planning, Landair captured a comprehensive overview of above-ground features using a combination of total stations and GPS. Trees, footpaths, roadways, buildings, and topography were mapped with high precision and used to generate a detailed plan and Digital Terrain Model (DTM).
Prior to geotechnical investigations, underground utility locating was carried out to identify services such as water, electricity, and gas. This proactive step ensured safe excavation and prevented damage to critical infrastructure.
Landair also integrated an adjoining dataset from a previous survey conducted by a local firm. Using advanced CAD software, the two data sets were seamlessly merged to deliver a complete and accurate representation of the site.
