Purpose: to conduct remote sensing of a low-head earth dam using LIDAR survey, and to create a high-precision 3D-model based on the obtained data for diagnostics of the technical state of the engineering protection of the Lower Kuban.

Materials and methods. The study was based on lidar survey data, which is carried out by emitting laser pulses and recording the moment of their return. The use of lidar survey for constructing an accurate topographic model of a low-head earth dam for the engineering protection of the Lower Kuban is described and discussed. To analyze the technical engineering protection of the Kuban River, mobile laser scanning was used in 2023 and 2025, the total length of the test sections was 15.7 km with different types of morpholithogenesis, profiles and digital models of the low-head earth dam were constructed on the lidar survey data basis.

Results. During the observation period, crest settlement in problematic areas amounted to more than 25 mm in the first measurement and more than 40 mm in the second measurement. A linear displacement of the dam crest was determined for 2023–2025 based on 27 measurements. Based on long-term measurements, the resulting digital model clearly displays the smallest changes in the relief and allows for the detection of hidden deformations and cracks that are not visible with a conventional approach. A detailed overview of the method, the stages of preparation and processing the obtained data, and examples of practical application for the purposes of monitoring and assessing the state of the dam are presented.

Conclusions. The resulting models enable a comprehensive analysis of the morphometric state of dams. The sizes of landslide formation areas were determined from 1.55 to 12.45 m², and the development dynamics ranged from 1.55 m² in the first measurement to 2.24 m² in the second measurement. A visualization of hazardous combinations of hydrodynamic loads was performed at various discharge rates of 620 and 850 m³/s.
