She said the NHSRCL is adopting the light detection and ranging survey (LiDAR) technology as it provides all the ground details and data in three to four months, which otherwise would have taken 10-12 months.
She said the ground survey is a crucial activity for any linear infrastructure project as it provides accurate details of areas around the alignment. This technique uses a combination of laser data, GPS data, flight parameters and actual photographs to give accurate survey data.
