Measuring the dike with a drone Dijkweg and Koopmanspolder
What's going to happen?
Rijkswaterstaat will soon be transporting heavy riprap over our dike west of Andijk to a temporary depot. The riprap will later be used to reinforce the foreshore. The transport will take place via Dijkweg and Koopmanspolder. We are now using drones to take baseline measurements, and after the transport we will take new measurements to assess whether the dike has been damaged by the transport.
The drones enable us to take advanced before and after photos for an accurate comparison. The dike protects West Friesland from flooding, so we are doing this for your safety. The same applies to the placement of the riprap by Rijkswaterstaat.
Where is the project taking place?
The aerial photographs will be taken above Dijkweg and Koopmanspolder.
What do you notice?
During the work, the drone will fly above Dijkweg and Koopmanspolder. Below is an example of what such a drone might look like.
The aerial photographs are mainly taken while flying over the dike. The drone may fly over built-up areas for a brief moment.
We are aware that in some cases this may affect privacy, for example when individuals are recognizable in images. To limit this risk, we have apolicy in placefor the use of drones.
When will the project take place?
The work will be carried out on Thursday, January 15, and/or Friday, January 16. After transport, we will return for a second measurement.
Who do we work with?
The work is carried out by our own employees.
