Landslide Susceptibility & Slope Hazard

Proactive Slope Monitoring with LiDAR and GIS for Safer Right-of-Way Management

Synergy Aviation offers specialized aerial surveying services to assess landslide susceptibility and slope hazards along critical infrastructure corridors, including pipeline and utility rights-of-way (ROW). Using high-resolution LiDAR and advanced GIS-based slope analysis, we help identify, map, and monitor ground movement and geotechnically active areas before they pose a risk to operations or safety.

Our airborne LiDAR systems capture accurate elevation data, revealing fine-scale terrain features that traditional ground surveys may overlook. This data is processed through GIS models to analyze slope gradients, terrain characteristics, and hydrological behavior—key indicators of potential slope instability.

 

Key Capabilities:
  • High-resolution LiDAR surveys for detailed 3D elevation models

  • GIS-based analysis of slope angle and terrain morphology

  • Change detection to track and monitor ground movement over time

  • Identification of unstable terrain and early-warning risk zones

  • Integration with other aerial inspection services for complete ROW assessments

 

Applications:
  • Identifying landslide-prone areas along pipeline ROWs

  • Monitoring known slope movement zones

  • Supporting mitigation and infrastructure reinforcement planning

  • Enhancing compliance with environmental and safety regulations

  • Guiding construction, maintenance, and long-term planning efforts

 

Whether you’re assessing new development corridors or ensuring the stability of existing assets, Synergy’s LiDAR and GIS-based slope hazard analysis provides the insight and clarity needed to support sound decisions and risk reduction, without disrupting the landscape.
