Hydro-Québec

1997 A study of a corridor for a road location of 110 kms between Fermont and the dam site SM3 at Port Cartier. The work consisted of new GPS controlled aerial photography, LIDAR terrain model, and the installation of ground GPS points. The digital terrain model was produced using the LIDAR and this was used to produce digital orthophotos of the planned route.

1998-2000 Several airborne LIDAR missions were conducted during this period including the construction of a 170 km transmission line from St. Jovite to Buckingham, in the Ottawa valley. Hydro Québec decided to utilize this technology to engineer the route, and design the location of towers before any field work commenced. They concluded this saved the utility both time and money.

1999 An airborne LIDAR campaign was conducted in the vast James Bay region of northern Québec, for planning development of hydroelectric potential of the Eastmain River. Lasermap's activities were completed over a period of about six weeks and were primarily for geotechnical analysis.

2000 Airborne LIDAR surveys for the production of a digital terrain model of a large area around Lake Kenogami in the Saguenay-St. John region of Québec.

2000 An airborne LIDAR survey and the production of digital mapping and digital terrain model which was used for the production of engineering plans for 135 kms of roadway for the planning of a hydroelectric installation on the Toulnoustouc River in Québec's St. Lawrence north shore region.

Québec ministry of transport

1997 Lasermap/GPR conducted four pilot projects consisting of approximately 35 kms, along existing routes in the La Tuque Region, the Town of Laurentides and Gatineau. In addition, aerial photography was taken of a corridor of 65 kms between Hull and Fassett. The works included GPS ground control, airborne LIDAR, production of a DTM, digital mapping and digital orthophotos

1998 GPS controlled aerial photography and airborne LIDAR data acquisition with deliverables of digital terrain models and digital mapping. This project was realized in a period of 1.5 months and was completed in collaboration with Agra-Monenco.

1998 A pilot project was conducted using airborne LIDAR to investigate the usefulness of the technology in determining areas for road marking requirements for visibility along highways

1999 A similar project to the above was conducted with the deliverables being digital orthophotos and digital terrain models for two corridors, one of 125 kms on the north shore of the St Lawrence and the second of 30 kms in the Saguenay region.

2000 A pilot project at L'Anse St Jean for the geotechnical department of the Ministry of Highways to determine the usefulness of LIDAR data for forecasting slope stability in zones of high risk land slides.

Québec ministry of environment

1998 Lasermap/GPR completed a pilot project for the Ministry using airborne LIDAR with the objective of producing Digital Terrain Model data to verify plans along parts of river shorelines to determine areas of flood plains. The objective was to determine if LIDAR data could acquire this data accurately and cost effectively.

2001 Following the successful conclusion of the pilot project in 1998, Lasermap/GPR has acquired an important contract with the Service des Relevés Hydrométriques et de l'Hydrologie du MENVIQ (Québec Ministry of the Environment) to complate a program of airborne LIDAR surveys and produce digital terrain models for portions of 165 rivers in Québec. These data will be acquired over a period of 15 months during 2001 and 2002.

Five Nations energy and SNC energy

1998 Production of a terrain model prior to construction of a 275 km transmission line in northern Ontario. The deliverables included the DTM for a width of 400 metres and a topographic plan. The work between Moosonee and Attawapiskat was completed over two months.

International joint commission

1999 This project involved flying airborne LIDAR surveys of 220 square miles of flood plain mapping along the Red River south of Winnipeg. The precision of the vertical elevations was 15 centimetres and these data were used to compile one foot contours of the area for flood risk purposes. Both hard copy (at 1:5000 scale) and softcopy maps were produced and delivered to various agencies as part of the program of flood control remediation efforts following disastrous flooding in the area in 1996.

Government of Canada

2000 Airborne LIDAR studies in the Bay of Fundy region of Nova Scotia, as part of a multi-disciplinary remote sensing program.

Alberta

2000, 2001 Production of airborne LIDAR Digital Terrain Models for several geophysical exploration projects.

1998-2001 USA, several projects including :

SOUTH CAROLINA
1998 Airborne LIDAR survey of 6000 acres for an engineering company producing a commercial and residential development plan.

WASHINGTON STATE
2000 LIDAR survey of a large area in the Seattle region for a private developer.

Some international projects

1998 JAPAN: LIDAR surveys for Digital Terrain Model production for four blocks of 20 square kilometers in the province of Tokyo, Japan.

1999 KOREA: production of a Digital Terrain Model of one of the new satellite cities that are part of the capital, Seoul.

1999 PERU production of terrain model data and other services for proposed upgrading of the Pan American Highway in Northern Peru

2000 JAMAICA: An important project involving ground control, GPS controlled aerial photography and LIDAR surveys for the feasibility study of 300 kms of highway. Lasermap/GPR was a subcontractor to the international design engineering company Dessau.
