Electoral Area A - Coastal Inundation LiDAR Derived

BGC Engineering Inc. (BGC) was retained by Metro Vancouver to complete a desktop inventory and characterization of geohazards (landslide, riverine and coastal inundation, and snow avalanches) with the potential to affect key parcels in Metro Vancouver’s Electoral Area A. This is Phase 1 of a two-phase project to characterize geohazards and translate results into technical and policy maps for use in the review of building and land development permit applications. The current work is based on new landslide and snow avalanche mapping and existing geohazard information compiled from published reports and geoscience/engineering reports held by Metro Vancouver. The deliverables for this project are several pdf maps and the supporting spatial database (geographical information system – GIS). These deliverables provide a starting point and structure to update and refine results once further information becomes available through more detailed assessments.
