Design And Construction

Within the last decade, airborne lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) equipment has evolved to the point where it can provide accurate ground surface elevations on a dense grid (often 1m by 1m) along pipeline corridors, at a cost that is a fraction of the cost for a comparable ground based topographic survey. This paper explains how lidar is used to acquire topographic data and how the data are converted to digital terrain models referenced to geodetic benchmarks. The accuracy and density of topographic data acquired by lidar surveys can be used to greatly facilitate pipeline design and reduce pipeline construction costs. The major benefits include: 1) The density of ground surface elevations obtained using lidar are significantly better than can be obtained using photogrammetry or conventional ground based survey methods. 2) The survey data can be collected over large areas in a matter of days and with virtually no disturbance to landowners. 3) The digital terrain models derived from lidar survey data can be imported into existing drafting (CAD) software and used to efficiently generate centerline profiles, cross-sections and alignment sheets as required for pipeline design and construction. 4) Hillshade maps derived from lidar data have proven extremely useful in pipeline route studies because they allow surface features to be identified and often avoided, thereby minimizing pipeline construction and operating costs.

Abstract. A methodology of magnitude estimates for debris flow events is described using airborne LiDAR data. Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) is a widely used technology to generate digital elevation information. LiDAR data in alpine regions can be obtained by several commercial companies where the automated filtering process is proprietary and varies from companies to companies. This study describes the analysis of geomorphologic changes using digital terrain models derived from commercial LiDAR data. The estimation of the deposition volumes is based on two digital terrain models covering the same area but differing in their time of survey. In this study two surveyed deposition areas of debris flows, located in the canton of Berne, Switzerland, were chosen as test cases. We discuss different grid interpolating techniques, other preliminary work and the accuracy of the used LiDAR data and volume estimates.
