Why New Fault Data Is Changing How LiDAR Mapping Is Used

LiDAR mapping showing elevation data and fault-related terrain features near planned development areas

Land development in Provo has always required careful planning. However, recent updates to Utah’s fault data are changing how developers evaluate land risk. What once looked like stable ground may now raise new questions. Because of this shift, more developers are turning to lidar mapping Utah projects early, not later, in the planning process. This […]

How LiDAR Mapping Reveals Terrain Changes After Wildfires

Post-wildfire terrain showing land damage and elevation changes captured through LiDAR mapping

Wildfires do more than burn trees and grass. They change the land itself. In Utah, especially near foothills and canyon areas, fire can reshape slopes, soil, and drainage paths in ways that are not easy to see. That is where lidar mapping becomes important. Within days or weeks after a fire, landowners, engineers, and surveyors […]
