Harnessing Remote Sensing Technologies for Successful Large-Scale Projects

Abstract

The integration of remote sensing technologies, such as Mobile Mapping Systems (MMS), Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), airborne LiDAR, high-speed terrestrial laser scanner and airborne multispectral cameras, is transforming the execution and management of large-scale infrastructure projects. These tools enable efficient and accurate data collection without requiring operators to be physically present in the observed area, enhancing the ability to map, analyze, and model both surface and subsurface features. This paper explores the synergy of these technologies, focusing on their application in critical sectors such as climate change mitigation, smart cities, and digital twins. It examines the benefits of technology integration, the challenges of data interpretation, and the opportunities for improving project efficiency and sustainability. Through a detailed analysis of each remote sensing technology, this paper highlights their potential to redefine large-scale project execution, driving innovation in infrastructure development and to bring business benefits to organisation which implements it.
