Webinar: Cable Harvesting Planning with LiDAR Data

Updated February 12, 2025


This article applies to:
  • RoadEng Forestry

This webinar focused on how to leverage LiDAR data for efficient cable harvesting planning and analysis using Terrain Tools Forestry (RoadEng Forest Engineer) software. 

We discussed how to: 

  • Work with high-resolution digital terrain models (LiDAR) to assess cable harvesting suitability.
  • Analyze deflection and payload for optimal equipment and landing locations.
  • Explore potential harvest areas in plan, profile, and data views to make informed decisions on cable logging operations.
  • Evaluate payload, clearance, line tensions, and different logging configurations.
