LiDAR technology is continuing to evolve, and its use is expanding worldwide in land development and construction. From bridge inspections and road mapping to utility management, LiDAR is shaping the future of global infrastructure.
As certain areas of the world continue to rapidly develop, so does the need for precision surveys. At Planit, we aim to make our services available without country borders. Our LiDAR technology services can be brought to your front door, whether you’re based in North America or internationally.
The Benefits of Using LiDAR in Infrastructure Projects
Advanced technology like LiDAR allows developers and construction workers to meet the demands of the modern world. LiDAR supports every construction and land development stage, from creating precise and accurate plans for accelerating construction timelines to enhancing long-term operations through data-driven insights.
Some of the main benefits of LiDAR include:
Accurate cost forecasting: Before a LiDAR survey is conducted, point cloud software is used to predict how much your project will cost to complete. This allows project managers, developers, and other stakeholders to work within more precise cost parameters and not exceed the budget.
Enhanced accuracy and efficiency: LiDAR captures real-time data at a centimetre level and precision measurements for projects where everything is in the details. Construction workers, engineers, and manufacturers working on a building or land development project can use this information to integrate their roles more efficiently into the final product.
Mitigated risk and improved safety: With the provision of more accurate and reliable data for your project, LiDAR helps reduce mistakes throughout the planning and construction processes. It also helps enhance risk management by providing data highlighting potential problems, from structural weaknesses to unstable terrain.
LiDAR’s Role in Global Infrastructure Growth
LiDAR is a laser scanning technology used to measure buildings, construction sites, and natural landscapes to gain accurate, reliable data on their structure, function, and surroundings. This technology allows for faster and more efficient construction of all types of buildings, from apartments and hotels to commercial sites and industrial plants.
LiDAR is a pivotal tool in helping fast-developing countries and regions scale up their infrastructure and embrace future advancement. Metropolitan and agrarian regions alike can use LiDAR to enhance their transportation networks, improve energy efficiency, and make upgrades to urban centres and neighbourhoods.
We already see these advancements occur as areas like the Middle East experience construction booms. Our team at Planit had the opportunity to assist in a building project in Qatar, where our LiDAR laser technology proved an essential tool for completing the work with speed and accuracy.
We aim to make ourselves available on-site as quickly as possible. If you need LiDAR, scan-to-BIM, digital twins, or other high-level technology across the globe, we’ll send our team in person as soon as it can be arranged.
