GEOLIDAR
Automated Deformation & Slope Monitoring — In Real Time.
GeoLidar is an intelligent LiDAR-based sensor that delivers millimetre-precision ground movement insights—24/7, in any weather, from anywhere. Whether you’re monitoring slopes, roads, rail corridors, or stockpiles, GeoLidar provides a clear, reliable view of ground stability so you can act early, reduce risk, and make confident decisions.
GeoLidar
Lidar Monitoring for Ground Deformation & Subsidence
When it comes to ground deformation monitoring, accuracy matters. False alarms waste time, drain resources, and create uncertainty. That’s why GeoLidar is built to focus only on what really matters.
By combining high-precision lidar technology with artificial intelligence (AI), GeoLidar detects ground movement with millimetre accuracy. This enables early warning of potential landslides, subsidence, and slope failures—helping engineers prevent hazards before they occur.
intelligent monitoring system built for precision
strong connectivity
In-build WiFi and 4G sends data instantly to the secure cloud.
tough hardware
Made tough for 24/7 monitoring in all conditions. In-built heaters to allow use in sub-zero temperatures. Can withstand heat up to 45°C.
LIDAR MAPPING
GeoLidar uses high-speed lidar scanning to create a 3D map of the area. Subsidence is measured every 15 minutes but the timing can be adjusted as required.
SMART TRAFFIC REMOVAL
The AI algorithms screen out noise, including traffic and pedestrians, to provide a clear view of the ground surface.
SOFTWARE INSIGHTS
Analyse data easily using the intuitive software interface. Visualisations and heatmaps provide an accurate picture of the site, with areas of focus highlighted.
Why Geolidar?
Remote Access
GeoLidar streams real-time 3D data via WiFi or 4G directly to the cloud, giving engineers and decision-makers instant access to movement insights — no matter where they’re located.
High-Precision
Powered by high-resolution LiDAR and AI, GeoLidar captures millimetre-scale deformation and filters out noise (like traffic and machinery), ensuring you get clean, actionable data — not false alarms.
Safety
Manual inspections in unstable zones are dangerous and time-consuming. GeoLidar removes your team from hazardous environments while still delivering the insights needed to keep infrastructure and people safe.
Built to Endure
From tropical storms to freezing winters, GeoLidar keeps scanning. Designed for low-power, high-durability performance, it runs on solar or battery and thrives in heat, rain, or remote terrain — with minimal maintenance.
GeoPoint
Subsidence and Deformation Monitoring Software
GeoLidar software transforms complex monitoring data into an intuitive 3D map with adjustable heatmaps that highlight ground movement and subsidence over time. Geotechnical engineers can quickly calculate average displacement for more accurate risk assessments, while the cloud-based Geobotica platform ensures secure, real-time access from any device, anywhere.
Rich Point Clouds
GeoPoint software visualises GeoLidar data as an intuitive 3D map of the area. Every scan automatically takes 1.5 million measurements of the scene and uploads this data to GeoPoint or you can export it to any point cloud software.
This background point cloud data is available in infra-red – known as intensity – or as a full-colour point cloud which the system generates by merging real-time colour photos with the 3D point cloud.
Displacement Heat Map
An adjustable high-resolution heatmap highlights changes in movement over time, making it easy to analyse land subsidence at a glance. ‘Hot’ areas of the map show large movements of subsidence, while ‘cold’ areas show heave and green areas show stability.
GeoLidar automatically generates this data on the device in the field while it scans. Each heat-map point is in a regular grid of 50cm x 50cm for flat surfaces, or 20cm x 20cm for slopes.
Point-and-click analysis
Geotechnical engineers can quickly and easily measure movement over time, allowing for improved decision making. Clicking any point in the heatmap reveals a plot showing displacement over time. Selecting multiple point allows you to compare or average measurements between points.
The rate of change in deformation reveals what is happening: a flat trend suggest stability, a slowing down of movement suggests the slope is stabilising, a steady rate of movement shows the slope is moving but not yet heading towards collapse, while an accelerating trend indicates a collapse is imminent.
Real-time data
GeoPoint software is flexible and easy to use. The software is automatically bundled with GeoLidar based on your commercial agreement. The software can be installed on PC for local-analysis, or can be run in the cloud, allowing you to view your data on a web browser, tablet or phone whenever you need it.
LAYERS
Analysing thousands of points is now simple using the Layer tool in GeoPoint. The tool allows you to group areas into a layer, then hide or display them. This makes for clean visualisation, allows you easily find interesting data again, and write your reports faster than ever.
timelapse photo record
Each time GeoLidar scans, it also captures an RGB photo as well as its rich point cloud. Each photo is uploaded to the cloud, meaning you can see conditions in real-time or review the photographs later. The photos are exportable as JPG and are automatically merged with the LiDAR data to give a rich 3D experience.
A Safer Infrastructure starts with a conversation.
Whether you manage slopes, rail corridors, or road networks, GeoLidar gives you the confidence to act before risks become hazards.
