TxDOT survey team creates 3D LiDAR model of Inner Space Cavern near Georgetown
Summary
TxDOT surveyors conducted a rare underground survey of Inner Space Cavern near Georgetown, Texas, creating a detailed 3D model of the cave using LiDAR technology. The project, described as a 'once-in-a-lifetime survey,' was done to help the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department plan potential trail connections and assess the cavern's relationship to the surface above. The survey team navigated tight spaces and challenging conditions to capture precise measurements of the ancient cave system.

· 3 pulledMost TxDOT survey work includes establishing property boundaries, making maps and other above-ground tasks to prepare an area for design and construction.
Last winter, a TxDOT survey team got to work underground in the Inner Space Cavern near Georgetown to create a detailed 3D model of the cavern.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime survey.
