Topographic survey and quantity surveying for Drilon Park

Drilon Park in Tushemisht, one of the best known tourist areas in south-eastern Albania, has been regenerated thanks to a project financed and implemented by the Albanian-American Development Foundation (AADF). Within the framework of this project, detailed topographic works were carried out for updating purposes. Description of the topographic works in Drilon Park: the works comprised the complete survey of the park area, covering approximately 11 hectares (110,000 m²). This area includes the green spaces, the walkways, the water channels, the existing buildings and the natural features. Modern technology was used, including GPS measuring equipment, a high-precision Total Station and terrestrial LiDAR scanning, in order to create a 3D model of the topography and to document every existing feature with millimetre accuracy. The natural and built features were classified in order to separate the areas by use (recreational areas, water areas, resting areas, walkways, etc.), and the orthophoto and the topographic map were produced.
