Land-Form PROFILE^®

About the product

Land-Form PROFILE provides detailed height data defining the physical shape of the landscape of Great Britain.

The 1:10 000 scale digital height dataset is available as either contours or a digital terrain model (DTM) covering the whole of Great Britain.

It provides a consistent foundation for 3-D modelling applications, to maximise the potential of your information and enable exciting fly-through models.

Land-Form PROFILE is available in either NTF or DXF™ (AutoCAD^® release 12 compatible).

Features and benefits

• A national dataset consisting of edgematched contours and DTM tiles.
• Contours are indexed every 25 metres (50 metres in mountainous areas).
• The contour dataset includes mean high water and mean low water marks in England and Wales, and mean high and low water springs in Scotland.
• The contour dataset also includes spot heights on significant features in low-lying areas and along linear features.
• The DTM’s 10-metre grid offers a manageable file size for most desktop GIS.

Suggested applications

• Environmental impact analysis – can be used for river catchment and pollution analysis, and to enable the visualisation of landscape change.
• Highway and pipeline planning – establish a level route and combine with map data to minimise obstructions and environmental impact.
• Water network analysis – use to accurately establish network pressure and identify areas at risk or requiring service improvement.
• Planning – an essential part of the planning process, for example, to establish the potential risk of flood plain development.
• Radio wave analysis – for signal propagation and cell design.
