LiDAR

When it comes to understanding topography, LiDAR is the most reliable and accurate solution in the toolbox. The advancement in this technology has brought down the cost for this solution, making it more economical. Laser scanning is the most reliable method for mapping topography. Another benefit of this high fidelity data product is that it can be merged or compared with other LiDAR data. This opens up numerous ways of further leveraging this technology for a multitude of applications that can provide important insight on how a project area may be changing through time.

With terrestrial and/or UAS-based LiDAR, project sites can be monitored or evaluated in a number of ways such as:

  • Generating new topography data
  • Tracking changes through time by incorporating multiple LiDAR data sets
  • Classifying features unique to a project site
  • Creating as-built models of current site conditions
  • Environmental monitoring
  • Earthwork monitoring
