Using sub-metre GPS and geo-rectified high resolution aerial photography, all significant woody vegetation is being recorded, with resulting constraints on development mapped so that the pipeline route can be refined towards minimal impact. At the time of our appointment, the project managers said ‘FLAC is the only outfit in the UK that can pull this off to the right standard within the required timeframe’
