Benefits of Mobile Mapping

Benefits of Mobile Lidar



Efficiency: Data acquisition takes place at normal traffic speeds – the system can cover hundreds of kilometres per day.



Safety: Personnel are not required to stand on/near roads to take measurements – the Lidar survey team does not need to leave the safety of the vehicle.


Some recent Surtech projects utilising Mobile Lidar:


Mapping of an existing subdivision and submission of a geodatabase defining boundary wall locations, gardens, roads and other common areas. Data acquisition was completed in 2 days on a project which would have taken up to 4 weeks with multiple conventional or GPS survey teams.



Pilot project for urban infrastructure mapping, with extraction of features such as tree (with drip radius), light poles, street furniture and other relevant features.
