Seismic Activity Data Collection on the Ocean Floor Unlike neighbouring Japan, earthquake activity is infrequent in the peninsula area of South Korea, and those that do occur tend to be low in intensity. Typically, earthquakes in this region measure between 2.0 and 5.0 on the Richter scale1. The record for the quake with the highest magnitude on the Korean Peninsula stood for some time, recorded as 5.3 in 1980. This was recently overtaken by a 5.8 magnitude tremor in Gyeongju in 2016 and a 5.4 magnitude tremor in Pohang, followed soon after by a 4.8 magnitude aftershock tremor. Data on these events is collected using the existing seismological observation network and tsunami warning system established by the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). This network is comprised of broadband seismometers, short-period seismometers and accelerometers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; recording velocity

and accelerations automatically and transmitting the data to processing stations. Whilst this network has been bolstered in the past couple of decades, there are limits to its reach, as well as gaps in understanding the seriousness of active faults to generate large and tsunamigenic earthquakes2. Forecasting the Impact of Future Fault Activity The three cities that have experienced these recent quakes, Ulsan, Gyeongju and Pohang, are all found in the Gyeongsang provinces, which is located in the south east of the Korean Peninsula. Whilst there have been no deaths, approximately 1,500 residents of the area were rendered homeless after the Pohang quake alone, and the cost of repair to damaged parts of the region are set to exceed US$200 billion3.

The German subsea engineering company K.U.M. is specialized in the construction of Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS), developed for the study of the seabed. The OBS â&#x20AC;&#x153;NAMMUâ&#x20AC;? is very suitable for earthquake monitoring, reservoir monitoring, tsunami warning systems, amongst other applications.

10-11_sponsoredarticlekum.indd 10

The Yangsan Fault is classified as an active fault, and has the capacity to generate large earthquakes, while the Chugaryenong Fault (also active) is said to have caused the 2010 3.0 magnitude quake in Seoul. Researchers employed a catastrophe model to predict the cost and damage burden that the Seoul region would experience should a 6.0 or greater magnitude tremor occur, concluding that the result would be an unprecedented and massive loss. The catastrophe model used took into account likely loss using a scientific understanding of disasters and actual building vulnerability modelled on building registration data in the region, in comparison to an actuarial model that is limited to loss estimation based on empirical data. Up to 2.76 million people could loose their lives, with the economic impact forecast up to US$2,848 billion, depending on the particular seismic characteristics of the earthquake4. Buildings Ill-equipped to Resist Strong Tremors Despite the rarity of major earthquakes, the Korean Peninsula is not without its seismic events, and there are considerable concerns with the capacity of most buildings to withstand these events. Most buildings (around 75%) are not earthquake-resistant, and 93.2% of all buildings in South Korea fail to comply with seismic code requirements5. According to the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources, most of the buildings that are earthquake-resistant can only resist tremors up to 6.5 magnitudes, indicating high overall vulnerability to earthquakes. Experts like Professor Kwang-Hee Kim of Pusan National University, has advised that South Korea is therefore considerably unprepared for

natural disasters of this type6. Professor Kim, seismologist, has voiced concern about the potential of further strong quakes in this region, predicting tremors of around 7.0 magnitudes on the Richter scale7. It is essential South Korea is prepared, given that high-magnitude earthquakes will result in disastrous impacts both along the peninsula and inland. There is clearly a need for accurate data on the seismic activity in the region that enables more in-depth observation and prediction. To achieve this objective, the KMA has established and funded an extensive, five-stage investigation that aims to analyse seismic activity and the underlying fault structure in the waters around the South Korean peninsula. This government authority has a broad purview that includes meteorological topics, natural disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes, as well as climate change. The first part of the KMA programme, led by Professor Kim, will collect data on fault structures, fault shape and prediction of seismic activity including earthquake and tsunami magnitudes, enabling prediction and preparation for the impact of such seismic events. The research team will develop a model for the underground structure, integrating this with data collected on seismic velocity. The earth’s internal structures that transform or amplify seismic waves will be captured and analyzed alongside data from the existing networks, and the data used to more accurately identify and predict earthquakes. K.U.M. Ocean-bottom Seismometers The project team, which includes experts in tsunamis, earthquakes and coastal research, selected the Ocean-BottomSystem (OBS) manufactured by German company Umwelt- und Meerestechnik Kiel (K.U.M.), whose name translates to Environmental and Marine Engineering Keel. K.U.M. has developed products and delivered services to the marine research and maritime science sector since 1997 and the OBS seismometers are a core focus. The OBS’ were purchased via Korean supplier GeoTech Systems Corp, a company

that provides measurement equipment and marine related products and services, from tunnel and water surveying to oceanrelated exploration equipment. OBS’ have been used successfully in other studies investigating the Korean seafloor8. The OBS is using one of the most advanced dataloggers and has the lowest energy consumption of the systems currently available. On top of this, the OBS is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled crystal oscillator with a precision of at least 0.02ppm. These OBS’ will detect and measure sub-sea seismic movements on the South Korean peninsula to measure the displacement of water level change. The researchers selected this equipment for its ease of use, portability, robust software and continuous data collection capabilities – all of which enable straightforward operation. The team has found the devices are particularly suitable due to their compact size, given the space limitations onboard the ship. Ten devices have already been deployed and a further ten will be installed on the ocean floor in identified locations during October 2019. The OBS’ will remain in place for up to two years with the team collecting data from them every six months, whereby an acoustic signal will be sent to each OBS, which will subsequently detach from its anchor and rise slowly to the ocean surface. Outcomes and Impacts Major earthquake and tsunami predictions are difficult and comes down to three factors: magnitude, location and time. The choice of the K.U.M. OBS will enable observation that was previously difficult to achieve with the existing network, with Professor Kim stating that the best way to observe such phenomena is by placing instruments as close to the seismic activity as possible, including in remote locations beyond the existing network. The sensitivity, robustness and ease of use of these OBS devices make them ideal for such a mission, which will yield important data for our understanding of the active fault zones in the Korean peninsula. Intelligence gathered by these in-situ

devices placed on the ocean floor has the potential to provide comprehensive data to inform planning and implementation across all stages of management for large-scale disasters, from mitigation through to preparedness, response and recovery – contributing to the reduction of risk and enabling tailored disaster management9.

Marine Protected Areas Benefit from Surveys by Amphibious Drones The use of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) in ecology and conservation is building momentum, with many research groups around the world exploring this novel way to collect images of animals for analysis. Most of this work is being carried out on land, but a few intrepid scientists are starting to venture out over the water, and my team from the Zoological Society of London are no exception. There is also a growing need for effective vessel surveillance out at sea. This article will showcase our latest expedition to the beautiful Turneffe Atoll in Belize and the UAV that makes all our pioneering science possible; an amphibious Aeromapper Talon built by Canadian company Aeromao. The Turneffe marine protected area (MPA) in Belize was delineated in 2012, but is difficult to manage, in part due to illegal fishing, its remoteness, and high running costs. Aeromao Amphibious Talon Commissioned We began working with Aeromao in early 2018, when we commissioned a waterlanding and waterproof fixed-wing, long

range, multi camera UAV, which could be used to monitor and survey marine megafauna (such as turtles, dolphins and sharks), but could also be an effective tool in gathering evidence of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU). The reason we had to commission this unit, is because, quite simply, nothing else on the market was suitable; quadcopters have limited endurance and are not suitable for traversing the sea and small islands for great distances, and some of the delta wings and similar units were unfixable in situ (a seriously important consideration when you’re a remotely based field scientist). Also, nothing on the market had two cameras nor was waterproofed. In February 2019, we embarked on our second expedition using the Aeromao Amphibious Talon; the first was made in June-July 2018 in the British Indian Ocean Territories. Our team and Julian Villada from Aeromao embarked on a journey which took us to the Caribbean’s barrier reef (the biggest in the western hemisphere). Working with the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association’s

Members of the expedition team celebrate after completion of another successful flight exploring an area located 10.5km away from the launch location.

82-83_sponsoredarticleaeromao.indd 82

Conservation officers, we were based on a stunning beach within the headquarters of the organisation. ” The amphibious drone was able to fly to the site of interest at 110m altitude, gather intelligence and fly back very quickly. The images highlighted that indeed illegal building work had been occurring. Without the UAV the conservation officers would have no way of knowing this and they were very excited at this revelation”, states one of the conservation officers. Water-landing UAV was the Solution The current enforcement strategy involves patrols in small boats, around the atoll, to find illegal fishers. Systematic surveys of megafauna are not regularly carried out, so the conservation officers tend to document animals they come across on their patrols in a specially designed database. However, boat fuel is very costly, and this limits the area the conservation officers can patrol. They were looking for a low-cost, robust technological answer to their management issues and the

Skiffs were used not only for retrieval of the UAV after landing on the ocean, but also as a moving base in order to cover greater areas.

Launching the drone from the boat and retrieving anywhere from the water proved to be a giant leap in versatility and convenience.

water-landing UAV was the solution. The Talon UAV is designed for easy deployment, easy flying Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and easy retrieval. It was decided that the conservation team in Belize would learn to fly the UAV and fly their own patrol transects, to see how effective it could be. The first flights we conducted were around the HQ bay area and then further out into the ocean and along the mangrove forests. The drone was deployed effortlessly by hand into the wind from the beach and flew gracefully through the air. The UAV can fly for up to one and half hours at a speed of 62kph, meaning that it can cover a huge distance and potential surveillance area quickly. The UAV was also repeatedly tested in BVLOS scenarios. In fact, 24 BVLOS flights were successfully flown during the trials, at an average length of 10.9km and with total transect lengths of 263km. The UAV reached a furthest point BVLOS of 11.3km. Whilst the UAV flies, the 20mp nadir camera takes 5 images per second, or stunning HD film and the front camera, which can be panned left to right, films and records a live stream, allowing the conservation officers to see what’s out there in real time, on the ground station. Mapping of habitats, using the nadir camera was also possible. Some areas of coral reef and seagrass beds were mapped using Agisoft Metashape. Impressive geo-referenced images of turtles, sharks, eagle rays, manatees and

birds were gathered during the surveys. A variety of habitats were captured, and to identify environmental issues, such as accumulation of plastic debris, and of sargassum seaweed which can cause deoxygenation of the water and block out sunlight. Data was used to build a spatial picture of how the atoll is used, be it by fishers or fauna, and when and where fishers are acting with impunity. The results and conclusions can feed directly into planning where marine protected zones are placed. Previously, information on fish abundances would be collected from by-catch on fishing vessels. Since the Turneffe Atoll is a protected area, you can’t rely on catch data anymore- this is where the drones really come into their own as a non-invasive and efficient tool for surveying. The conservation officers get from A-to-B in the atoll using small motorboats or skiffs. We decided to test something which had never been done before with Aeromao’s Talon, let alone the amphibious one: we were able to do several static launches of the UAV from a small, moving skiff in the lagoon! This is a tremendously important, and previously unknown ability of the UAV, as it now means that the conservation officers can steam to an area where a beach for launching may not exist (very common in mangrove forests), and simply launch from the boat, then land on the water beside the skiff once the mission has been completed. This way, no part of the atoll is out of reach for the conservation team.

Products4Geo Industry Guide Issue 2 - 2019

82-83_sponsoredarticleaeromao.indd 83

Land and water were patrolled regularly. More than 35,000 images were collected and analysed during the expedition.

UAV to Become Essential Part of Patrolling and Enforcement Strategy We are very confident as scientists that having a UAV which can easily land safely on the ocean and be flown again in moments is an exceptionally valuable tool. Likewise, the conservation officers in the Turneffe Atoll are adamant that a UAV like the one we trialled will become an essential part of their patrolling and enforcement strategy, which will ultimately lead to increased biodiversity in the area. To summarise, the key achievements of the trials were: 1. First deployment of our water-landing fixed-wing UAV in the Caribbean. 2. First ever use of a live-link fixed-wing in the marine reserve. 3. Training the first two Belizean Conservation Officers to use our UAV system. 4. The successful gathering of reconnaissance images. 5. First ever deployment of the UAV from a small, moving skiff. 6. Detection of eagle rays, manatee, birds, cushion star, bone fish and turtles. 7. Twenty-four transects flown, with a total flight length of 263km.

NEW AGE OF VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION VERIFICATION FOR BALFOUR BEATTY It often takes several stakeholders to bring a construction project to life, and for vertical construction developments, there are added complexities with space restrictions and intricate designs to support the upward structure. It’s no surprise, then, that mistakes happen, but mistakes can quickly drain budgets and can take years to rectify. Technology now exists that can spot mistakes before they’re even constructed, create intricate as-built models for verification against design, and do it all in almost real-time. effective and Efficient Construction Workflow Avoiding mistakes is crucial in delivering a successful project and efficiency and productivity are key elements for any contractor. Knowing this, Topcon

Positioning Group approached leading construction group Balfour Beatty to assist in improving its verification processes with a more effective and efficient vertical construction workflow for a project in Surrey. Cooper’s Hill, a multi-million-pound refurbishment of a Victorian Gothic building most recently used as student accommodation, started in early 2017. The transformation comprises repurposing the old building and construction of new steel-frame structures to create 78 luxury retirement apartments on the 66 acres of Magna Carta Park. Balfour Beatty’s team, already proficient with verification technology and methods, found the usual process of scanning with costly specialist contractors coming to site, followed by waiting times for data to be

shared and then analysed, didn’t meet efficiency and productivity marks. The business had already started investigating new technology and software to improve the process when Topcon’s newest instrument, the GTL-1000 integrated total station and scanner, became the jigsaw piece that completed a fluid and effective workflow. New Technology for Improved Construction Process Guy Murphy, site engineer at Balfour Beatty, said: “We’ve done traditional verification on projects for a long time at Balfour, but previously there haven’t been the tools available for us to make this a quick and simple process. With Topcon’s new GTL-1000 feeding into its data processing tech, suddenly there’s a link

between a decent, quick and effective scanning tool and an equally quick software environment for us to verify in near real-time.” Murphy, who started on the project in July 2017, beta-tested the new product as part of a full workflow, including Topcon’s MAGNET Collage and ClearEdge3D Verity software that analyse and verify scanned data against design models. Cut Scan-to-Verification Process Time He said: “The GTL-1000 has enabled us to verify the project at any stage we wanted as it cuts the scan-to-verification process time dramatically. With the kit being dual-purpose, it fits into a site engineer’s daily work so it allows us to take on more capabilities without the need for thousands of pounds to be spent on scanning teams. It’s so simple to use and I haven’t needed any lengthy training courses to become proficient. “We’ve used this workflow on the new steel frame build to compare against the design models and we have been able to find mistakes and correct them before the materials were put in place. The Verity software shows us areas that are out of tolerance and enables us to consider designs and scans in much more detail than we’ve had the time or data to do previously. “With the GTL-1000 and Topcon software, we’re capable of doing so much more and we’re getting more value for money from our engineers. We can’t exactly calculate the ROI because we just don’t have any mistakes made to compare timescales or budgets. The benefits we’ve seen from this new workflow and technology are unquantifiable. Absolutely worth it.” The GTL-1000 was officially unveiled at Bauma in April 2019 and will feature at GEO Business in the UK in May, with the device set to go on general sale beginning in September. Chris Emery, senior manager for vertical construction at Topcon Positioning Group, said: “The industry to date has had its hand forced in the way it deals with mistakes – there’s been very little way to change the reactive nature to clashes and design issues. At Topcon, we knew the

frustrations of engineers and contractors when it comes to verification – the time it takes, the money it costs and the specialist training required – and so our full workflow solution now makes it quicker and simpler than ever, while saving money on reworks. Results: Save Time and Money “We’re delighted to see the Balfour Beatty team are so pleased with the results of this new solution to date and it has been a pleasure working with them to fine-tune this workflow, so that we can enable the construction industry to fast-track vertical construction projects, saving time and money.” The Cooper’s Hill project is the first to use the GTL-1000, with phase one due to finish on schedule in August 2019. Nick Salmons, Balfour Beatty’s principal laser scanning surveyor, said: “At Balfour Beatty, we are dedicated to driving innovative new working practices across our business as part of our ‘25% by 2025’ initiative. The new Topcon robotic scanning solution will increase productivity on site by accelerating the construction process and

identifying design challenges more efficiently than traditional methods. “We are delighted to have collaborated with Topcon over the last 12 months to trial this new tool, which will significantly benefit the industry as a whole; reducing cost and program duration, for both clients and contractors alike.” For more information about Topcon’s vertical construction workflow and the new GTL-1000, visit: www. topconpositioning.com/gb/verticalconstruction-solutions.
