LiDAR Data processing and DEM Generation
Client:District of North Saanich
This project involved the meticulous processing of raw LiDAR data sourced from government agencies. Key steps included quality assurance for data completeness and resolution, noise filtering, and precise classification of ground and non-ground points. From this enhanced data, a high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was generated, followed by rigorous accuracy validation against known control points and reference datasets.
Outcome:
The result was a highly accurate and validated Digital Elevation Model, providing the client with a foundational dataset critical for detailed terrain analysis, infrastructure planning, and informed environmental management decisions.
Steep Slope Map Production
Client:District of North Saanich
Leveraging the generated Digital Elevation Model, this project focused on comprehensive slope analysis. Slope gradients were computed using advanced GIS algorithms, and then classified into distinct categories (e.g., moderate, steep, very steep) to identify areas of potential concern. This analysis formed the basis for producing detailed steep slope maps to high cartographic standards.
Outcome:
Delivered professionally designed steep slope maps in various industry-standard digital and print-ready formats (including PDF, GeoTIFF, and Shapefiles). These maps serve as crucial tools for the client, enabling effective land-use planning, risk assessment for development, and the implementation of appropriate safety and environmental protection measures in high-risk slope areas.
