ABSTRACT
Properly surveying, inventorying, inspecting, and documenting waterfront facilities can be costly, time-consuming, and require high-risk activities with significant safety measures. Recent advancements in both light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and sound navigation and ranging (sonar) technologies allow for the collection and processing of three-dimensional survey data and structural modeling with unprecedented speed and accuracy. While LiDAR is increasingly common in creating building as-builts, site layout, and mapping, this technology is now aimed at the water’s edge and married to underwater sonar. This paper outlines the technologies, collection process, and deliverables for a rapid waterfront survey and enhanced inspection using light and sound.
