Discover the capabilities and limitations of LiDAR technology for detecting underground utilities and infrastructure. Expert insights for your Melbourne construction projects.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology has revolutionized how we approach underground utility detection and mapping. While LiDAR itself cannot directly "see" through soil and rock, it plays a crucial role in comprehensive underground infrastructure visualization when combined with other technologies.
While LiDAR cannot directly detect underground utilities, it plays a vital role in comprehensive subsurface mapping when integrated with other technologies.
LiDAR excels at creating detailed three-dimensional maps of surface features and terrain, providing context for underground utility planning.
LiDAR can map above-ground infrastructure that often correlates with underground utilities, creating comprehensive site models.
LiDAR data combined with ground penetrating radar and electromagnetic induction provides complete underground visualization.
LiDAR offers millimeter-level accuracy in measurements, essential for precise utility location and excavation planning.
