LiDAR Survey

Why choose a LiDAR Survey?

Survey Solutions offer a drone LiDAR survey to create detailed maps of ground profiles for planning and hazard assessments. Also known as Light Detection and Ranging, this non-invasive method delivers precise accuracy and is one of the fastest surveying techniques available.

Drone LiDAR surveys are particularly beneficial for managing risks, overseeing land and agricultural projects, forestry, and mapping watersheds and rivers. Because it’s remotely operated, LiDAR for surveying excels in areas that are difficult or dangerous to access by foot. It is a more sustainable technology, enabling surveys to be conducted in environmentally sensitive areas without the negative impacts associated with traditional methods, ultimately reducing a project’s carbon footprint.

Our highly experienced team will assist you in integrating a LiDAR survey into your overall project planning, providing clear timelines and expected results.

How does a LiDAR Survey work?

For a lidar aerial survey, a laser-based LiDAR scanner is mounted on a drone, which sends out rapid light pulses from a near-infrared laser to collect measurements. This data creates a point cloud that is transformed into a highly precise 3D model of the terrain and its features, offering a competitive edge where accuracy is crucial.

LiDAR can gather a million data points per second, making it one of the fastest surveying methods available. This capability allows for the quick production of highly detailed maps of entire cities or large areas of land in a minimal timeframe.
