Abstract

This paper demonstrates the use of heritage geomatics in the collection of data and information in order to advance our knowledge of engineering heritage. Heritage geomatics relates the use of archaeological theory for interpreting information gained from geomatic methods. Geomatic methods include 3D scanning, ground penetrating radar, magnetromety, resitivity, geographic information systems (GIS) amongst others; in essence it encompasses any geographic, spatial and geophysical method used in order to capture data and information. The case study presented in this paper will illustrate the use of 3D terrestrial scanning for the collection of data and information, as well as demonstrating how this contributes to our knowledge of the rail infrastructure dating to the mid 1800s.
