Your Project
Our drone LiDAR services fill a void between traditional survey methods and manned aircraft LiDAR surveys. We enable survey firms to take on hundreds or thousand of acres of survey per project. Whether you already own your own drone or field internal teams, we are a compliment to any survey or engineering firm. Our dedicated crews remain proficient in aerial operations and we scale to capture large acreages in a single day.
Control
We partner with your survey firm to meet customer requirements. We are able to provide control or intake customer ground control points to ensure absolute accuracy of the LiDAR data we capture.
