Mobile Mapping Surveys
For projects where a vast amount of detailed Geo-Spatial data needs to be collected quickly over a long distance, Mobile mapping is often an ideal solution. This method is particularly suitable for road, highway, and infrastructure projects, and uses a mobile vehicle equipped with a 3D laser scanner, capable of capturing thousands of data points per second.
Our mobile mapping surveys can cover up to 20km in one day. Each survey can provide various data formats and survey information, ranging from basic 2D site layouts and plans to more detailed outputs, including point clouds and fly-through animations. Additionally, we can use this data to create Revit models, and our experienced team will be happy to advise where needed.

How is data collected during a mobile mapping survey?
Mobile mapping typically require two surveyors on site. Initially, all equipment is checked and activated in areas with optimal maximum GPS coverage and the route is driven at normal traffic speeds to create a survey route plan.
Our mobile mapping surveys begin with continuous monitoring of positional quality to ensure high accuracy. The data collected includes laser information and imagery, and to achieve the best accuracy, ground control points (GCPs) are installed at regular intervals within the survey area. The coordinates of these points enhance the precision of the point cloud during processing.
When the survey is completed, the Geo-Spatial data is processed to generate the most accurate trajectory possible and to facilitate the creation of the point cloud aligned with the GCPs. The point cloud is then cleaned and colorized, ready to be utilised for your project’s requirements.

Land Surveying Services
Measuring land under the water to establish a wide range of data including bed levels.
Measuring and recording the terrain, including roads, pylons, kerbs, service covers, boundary demarcations, fences and walls, with data available in both 2D and 3D formats.
An increasingly important tool for collecting large amounts of data quickly, cost-effectively and with minimal disruption, often in inaccessible locations.
Capturing data with a scanner attached to a vehicle, for situations which involve long distances or provide access challenges.
LiDAR technology creates a map of the ground profile, capturing measurements and ranges of large areas very quickly, with precision accuracy and without disturbing the environment.
