What is Drone LiDAR?

Drone LiDAR uses laser pulses to create accurate 3D models of the earth’s surface. Our UAV-mounted systems penetrate vegetation and map both natural and built environments, ideal for Western Canada’s diverse landscapes.

Why Choose Drone LiDAR?

• High Accuracy: Centimeter-level precision
• Rapid Deployment: Covers large, inaccessible areas
• Vegetation Penetration: Maps beneath dense canopies
• Safety: Reduces on-ground risks
• Cost Efficiency: Minimizes field time, maximizes data

Applications

• Engineering & Preconstruction: Accurate base plans, terrain models, and cut/fill analysis for design and earthworks.
• Forestry & Environmental Monitoring: Detailed canopy and terrain models for forest inventory and habitat assessments.
• Oil & Gas: Topographic data for infrastructure planning, regulatory compliance, and reclamation.
• Mining & Aggregates: Stockpile volumes, safety monitoring, and terrain modeling for efficient operations.
• Municipal & Infrastructure: Precise surface models for urban planning, transportation, and stormwater design.
• Geohazard Analysis: Mapping and monitoring landslides, erosion, and terrain instability in high-risk areas.

Our Process

1. Planning: Tailored flight plans based on your project needs.
2. Data Acquisition: Using DJI Zenmuse L2 LiDAR for superior precision (4 cm vertical, 5 cm horizontal accuracy).
3. Post-Processing: Expert classification and validation for accurate outputs.
4. Deliverables: DTMs, DSMs, classified point clouds, contour files, and 3D visualizations.
