Survey Works Update<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Topographical surveys of watercourses, adjacent lands and property thresholds of residential and commercial premises were collected in early 2021.\u00a0 These works provided the data needed to build an up to date computer model of the Scheme Area. Murphy Geospatial were appointed to carry out survey works in Na D\u00fanaibh, which included river channel, topographical and property threshold surveys that took place in January and February 2021.<\/p>\n

The Environmental Constraints Study identifies environmental constraints to be considered in Scheme development (identifying a preferred option), design and construction. Topics within the Constraints Study Report include Population and Human Health; Biodiversity; Land, Soil, Water, Air and Climate; Material Assets, Cultural Heritage and Landscape. It informed option development and the Environmental Impact Assessment for the emerging preferred scheme and includes a summary of the Opening Public Consultation held in November \/ December 2020.<\/p>\n
