Description
The survey evaluated the land in advance of the groundworks for the construction of a natural gas pipeline.
This work was carried out using the two techniques of magnetometer and magnetic susceptibility surveying. The magnetometer survey was initially arranged as a 15m wide sample strip along the full length of the proposed route, with the exception of plots 6-8, which were not in a suitable condition for the survey. The area surveyed was equivalent to coverage of a sample area of about 40% of a proposed 40m wide pipeline working width. The susceptibility survey was based on readings taken at 12.5m intervals. In response to the results of the initial geophysical survey, further work was done in a number of areas.
