LiDAR

PROFESSIONAL LIDAR SURVEYS

High-Precision, metric mapping solutions for the most demanding projects.

SETTING THE STANDARD IN LIDAR SURVEYS

LIDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It is a technology that uses laser point measurements to build ground surface models. Raw data is processed to remove surface features and is generally combined with Aerial photography to provide an additional data set – increasing the value to each client.

By using manned aircraft with advanced LiDAR cameras, we capture comprehensive data over vast areas with unmatched accuracy and clarity.

ACCURACY AND SCALE WITHOUT COMPROMISE

LiDAR provides terrain information with an accuracy of 50mm to 200mm even under vegetation. The firm completed its first LiDAR survey in 2005 and has acquired extensive experience in the field over hundreds of projects. We own two custom-built leading-edge sensors and are able to deploy both on a single project when required.

Capture precise, detailed imagery across large areas without loss of quality.

LiDAR cameras and manned aircraft ensure rapid coverage, ideal for time-sensitive projects.

Professional-grade equipment ensures stable, high-quality output under various conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to measure distances from an aircraft to the ground. These measurements create highly detailed 3D models of terrain and features, even beneath vegetation canopies.

Aerial LiDAR provides unparalleled accuracy, captures data quickly over large areas, and can penetrate vegetation to map ground surfaces. It’s ideal for applications like flood modeling, slope analysis, and infrastructure planning.

Aerial LiDAR typically achieves vertical accuracy of ±5–15 cm and horizontal accuracy of ±30–50 cm, depending on the sensor, altitude, and ground control points (GCPs).

Applications include:
Flood risk modeling
Slope stability analysis
Urban planning and development
Forestry management
Mining operations
Road and rail corridor mapping

Yes, aerial LiDAR can penetrate vegetation by using multiple laser returns to distinguish ground features from tree canopies, enabling accurate terrain models in heavily forested areas.

LiDAR uses laser pulses to measure distances and is better for capturing elevation data and penetrating vegetation. Photogrammetry uses overlapping images to create 3D models but relies on visible surfaces, making it less effective in dense vegetation.
