Sasol North America will work with a third-party expert in the field of mapping to gather aerial topographic imagery in the area this week, the company announced Monday.

Nancy Tower, Sasol spokeswoman, said a low-flying helicopter will be used to gather these images between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday.

“The flight area will include the existing Sasol facility, adjacent to the city of Westlake, as well as property to the west of the plant,” Tower said in a news release. “The topographical data will provide information about the contour of the land, natural and artificial features and elevations to be used for project planning.”

This is part of Sasol’s Front End Engineering Design process, which is currently underway for the Chemicals Projects and Gas To Liquids Facility.
