LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to collect accurate spatial measurements and create detailed 3D representations of existing conditions.

What is mobile mapping?

Mobile mapping combines sensors, positioning systems, cameras, and LiDAR technology to rapidly collect geospatial data while moving through a project area. It efficiently captures large amounts of spatial information and imagery.

What types of deliverables can be produced?

Deliverables may include point clouds, CAD files, GIS data, 3D models, digital twins, asset inventories, reports, and 360-degree imagery.

How does Kiwa T2 use LiDAR and Mobile Mapping?

Kiwa T2 uses LiDAR and mobile mapping technologies to rapidly collect accurate spatial data to support our core services including utility engineering, geophysics, and condition assessment.

What is LiDAR and Mobile Mapping and what it includes

LiDAR and Mobile Mapping combines laser scanning, survey technologies, and panoramic imaging to capture highly detailed information about existing site conditions and infrastructure. Kiwa T2 uses LiDAR technology to collect millions of data points and create accurate point clouds, 3D models, digital twins, and geospatial datasets that can be integrated into GIS, CAD, and asset management systems to support Kiwa T2’s core services.

Unlike conventional surveying methods that focus on selected features, LiDAR and mobile mapping capture a complete record of visible site conditions, including surface infrastructure, utilities, transportation corridors, facilities, and surrounding assets. The technology also records panoramic 360-degree imagery, providing valuable visual context that can be revisited long after field work is complete

Who is it for?

The LiDAR and Mobile Mapping service by Kiwa T2 is intended for municipalities, engineering consultants, transportation agencies, utility owners, developers, contractors, infrastructure managers, facility owners, and organizations responsible for planning, designing, constructing, inspecting, or managing physical assets. These organizations typically require accurate spatial information to support project planning, asset inventories, design development, condition assessments, documentation, and long-term infrastructure management.

Benefits of LiDAR and Mobile Mapping

Capture comprehensive site information in a single data collection effort.
Improve design accuracy through detailed existing-condition documentation.
Reduce the need for repeat site visits by maintaining a permanent digital record.
Support more informed planning, budgeting, and project delivery decisions.
Improve communication through 3D visualizations, models, and immersive imagery.
Enable integration with CAD, GIS, and digital asset management platforms.
Enhance project efficiency by collecting large amounts of accurate data quickly.
