In this video, Kory Kellum from Phoenix LiDAR Systems explains how LiDAR technology impacts five critical industries and enhances everyday life. He explores LiDAR applications in surveying, utility management, roadway construction, mining, and maritime operations.
In surveying, LiDAR is used to map topography for floodplain analysis, property surveys, and land development, offering increased accuracy and safety. Utility management benefits from LiDAR by monitoring vegetation encroachment on power lines and assessing damage to pipelines, railways, and waterways, ensuring timely maintenance and safety. In roadway construction, LiDAR helps with planning, as-built mapping, and maintenance assessments, reducing project time and enhancing road safety.
The mining industry uses LiDAR for accurate volume measurements and safe monitoring of mining operations, while maritime applications rely on bathymetric LiDAR for underwater mapping, ensuring safe boat passage and efficient shipping of goods.
