LiDAR data provides spatial solutions to forest managers to understand the forest canopy and terrain, forest health, forest biomass, and drainage patterns. Traditionally, foresters and land managers have relied on topographic maps for terrain classification and time consuming field-based surveys to obtain tree volumes and height information. LiDAR data provides significant improvements over both these techniques.

LiDAR surveys have become important feature in the mining industry due to many distinct advantages it provides for the planning of existing or future mine property.

Airborne LiDAR surveys can acquire millions of points within each square kilometre. This ability to acquire high point density creates a robust dataset for volumetric calculations, geomorphology and structural geology, design of transmission line or road corridors, slope analysis and run off surface modelling for feasibility studies and environmental impact studies.

The oil and Gas exploration industry prefer to use LiDAR data because of its ability to provide accurate x,y,z solutions within severe terrain and canopied areas for exploration programs, to road access and pipeline design for developmental areas.  LiDAR is also able to acquire detailed data for large areas and deliver accurate solutions within days of flight.

The primary deliverable products for our Oil and Gas clients are digital terrain models, slope and vegetation height maps etc.

Combination of high resolution imagery and high density LiDAR assist government to take sound decisions for future infrastructure developments. Accurate LiDAR dataset can be used for the design of roads, dams, schools, hospitals etc. Municipalities can also use high resolution imagery to assist in determining property valuations, emergency response and taxes and tariffs.

LiDAR has seen its uses for environmental impact and monitoring studies rise dramatically in recent years. High resolution imagery combined with high density LiDAR points allow environmentalists perform tasks such as flood analysis and mapping, slope calculation, view shed analysis, determine water and wind flows, monitor rehabilitation sites etc.
