Topographical Survey with LiDAR Technology Confirms Precision in 170-Hectare Solar Farm Installation
GEOINTEC has recently completed a high-resolution topographical survey using LiDAR technology for a 170-hectare utility-scale solar farm constructed in Queensland’s Wide Bay-Burnett Region. This comprehensive topographic survey enabled complete as-built verification of all installed infrastructure, marking a milestone in the application of advanced technologies for renewable energy projects.
The implementation of this topographical survey through LiDAR technology has made it possible to validate installation accuracy against established design tolerances, ensuring that each component of the solar farm meets the required technical specifications. Furthermore, precise geospatial verification of equipment placement has been achieved, providing exact data on the location of thousands of solar panels and support structures.

 Millimeter Precision in Construction Deviation Detection
One of the most notable aspects of this project has been the identification of construction deviations that, detected in time, have allowed adjustments to be made before the final commissioning of the installation. This ability to detect anomalies with millimeter precision represents a significant advance in quality control for solar energy projects.
LiDAR technology not only accelerates project timelines but also increases the accuracy of feasibility studies and engineering designs, generating substantial savings in both time and cost over the long term. In an industry where accuracy is fundamental to ensuring optimal performance of installations, these geospatial tools have become indispensable.
As GEOINTEC specialists state: “Clean energy starts with clean data.” This philosophy underscores the importance of having precise geospatial information from the initial planning stages through final construction verification, establishing new quality standards in the development of utility-scale solar projects.
