Topic:

Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing method that allows for the creation of accurate three dimensional models of objects or spaces. LiDAR has the ability to resolve variations in the millimeter scale, can collect millions of data points in a single scan and can be collected quickly from a number of platforms. This technology has been used in a variety of industries and is continuing to grow in use with new applications.
This presentation will provide an introduction into LiDAR technology and its uses in the facility engineering realm. A brief discussion on the concept of LiDAR, it’s field methods and current uses in industry will be followed by several projects examples where LiDAR was used. These examples have application in the Concrete Structures discipline. In addition, other example projects where LiDAR has been used, including where it has been integrated with geophysical data, will be discussed to provide a complete view of it’s current use within Terracon and facilitate discussion of other potential applications.
