Surveying at the Vestfold Hills for the Australian Antarctic Division's Davis Aerodrome Project (DAP) 5097 was carried out during the summer of 2019/20 by by LEUT Colin Davidson, LCPL Michael Raymont, LCPL Stuart Cox, and SPR Luke Carey of the Australian Defence Force. Survey equipment included a Trimble SX10 laser scanner, Trimble S6 Total Stations and DJI Mavic 2 Zoom Drone. Survey focussed on undertaking a feature survey (SX10) of the proposed aerodrome footprint (Ridge Site), access road alignment (Adams Flat, Davis Link), and areas of supporting infrastructure (lighting towers, construction laydown areas etc.). Further, survey monitoring of ground sediment rods (first undertaken in 2018_19) was expanded, measuring sediment movement through the summer at a range of sediment areas intersected by the aerodrome footprint. The existing Dingle rd was surveyed using vehicle mounted RTK GPS. Drone imagery was captured across the Project site (Adams Flat, Ridge Site). Davis Station and the area of the proposed masterplan were also surveyed and are reported separately (SIP_survey_2019_20). A comprehensive report is included with the data.
