❓ Did you know?❓

💡 LiDAR is revolutionizing many sectors in France. Here are some fascinating facts about its use in the country:

Infrastructures: LiDAR is used to inspect and monitor the condition of infrastructures such as bridges, dams, roads, rails, tunnels... This technology makes it possible to detect deformations or cracks with millimeter precision, guaranteeing thus the safety and durability of constructions.

Detection and Mapping: LiDAR is widely used to map territories precisely. In France, it has been used to create detailed topographic maps, particularly for projects to manage forests and natural risks such as floods and landslides.

Environment: LiDAR is also used to study natural ecosystems. It helps measure forest canopy and monitor changes in vegetation, thereby helping with biodiversity conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.

Urban planning: French cities are using LiDAR for 3D modeling projects, enabling more efficient and precise urban planning. This helps with the design of infrastructure and the management of urban spaces, notably by facilitating environmental impact studies.

In a word, LiDAR technology is transforming many sectors in France!
