Drone LiDAR Surveying

Why should I use LiDAR for Topographic Surveys?

• Coverage. LiDAR gives us the ability to handle large topographic surveys.
• Accuracy. We check every LiDAR flight with observed points that ensure the flight was conducted with confidence, providing survey grade topographic surveys.
• Detail. With LiDAR we are able to finetune the survey to provide a map that includes all of the features of the area where the topo is being conducted.
• Vegetation Penetration. LiDAR is capable of shooting millions of points per second. Those points can reach all over the area regardless of whether it is covered in heavy vegetation. This allows us to reach into areas that a ground crew may be incapable of reaching. See examples below.
• 3D Digital Model. When the flight is finished and the data is processed the customer has the option to view their property with the surveyor. This allows them to see their property in a whole new perspective.
• Virtual Location. When we complete the flight and we move to conducting location of the area we use traditional surveying techniques to locate buildings, roads, bridges, etc. all through the LiDAR model.

What is LiDAR used for?

• Not just Topographic Surveys.
• Full Surveys. Using LiDAR allows us to use virtual location to avoid multiple trips to the site.
• Stockpile Analysis. If a contractor needs information of how much ground they remove from a site, LiDAR can provide the information.
• ALTA Surveys. LiDAR is instrumental in providing the precision details such as parking stripes, road signs, rooftop HVAC systems, measuring the height of building, etc.
• Before & After. In the early stages of construction it is helpful to see a site before it is built and after it is built. This will provide information on how much the land was altered during the build.
