    • 2025 SCDVA Lidar DEM: Charleston County, SC

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

    BERKELEY, CHARLESTON, ORANGEBURG LIDAR DATA COLLECTION Lidar Data Acquisition and Processing Production Task Charleston County

    Contract Number: 6004 RFQ Number: 6004-25C Woolpert Order No: 10020258 CONTRACTOR: Woolpert

    Lidar data is a remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne platform. The lidar sensor uses a combination of laser range finding, GPS positioning, and inertial measurement technologies. The lidar systems collect data point clouds that are used to produce highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures, and vegetation. This task order requires lidar data to be acquired over Charleston County (+/- 1,197 square miles). This lidar data set is comprised of lidar point cloud data, raster DEMs, raster DSMs, raster intensity imagery, and GPS flight line trajectory data. The task required the lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 1.15 feet. The lidar dataset was produced using a horizontal datum/projection of NAD83, State Plane South Carolina, International Feet and a vertical datum of NAVD88 (Geoid 18), International Feet. Tidal areas in Charleston's data acquisition were collected within +/- 2 hours of low tide. Additional deliverables include control data and tile index in Esri shapefile format, lidar processing and survey reports in PDF format, and project-level FGDC CSDGM metadata in XML format.

    This data was provided to the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) by the Charleston County Public Works Department, for the purpose of making the data publicly available for custom and bulk downloads from the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.
