Drone LiDAR Survey with Drone Photogrammetry
When a road, rail line or transmission corridor runs through terrain a vehicle can't reach — dense vegetation, hill sections, marshland — drone-mounted LiDAR takes over. It flies where Mobile LiDAR can't, and still comes back with survey-grade point cloud data.
LiDAR That Goes Where a Vehicle Can't
Mounting a LiDAR sensor on a drone rather than a vehicle removes the biggest constraint of ground-based mapping: access. There's no road to drive along, no line-of-sight to maintain from a fixed traverse — the aircraft simply flies the corridor and the sensor records everything beneath it, from tree canopy down to the ground it's rooted in.
As an active sensor, LiDAR punches through vegetation cover in a way passive camera-based photogrammetry can't, which is exactly why it's the technology of choice for green-field alignments and heavily wooded proposed routes. To hold survey-grade absolute accuracy, we tie every mission to one or two Ground Control Points plus a set of independent checkpoints for validation.
Where the project calls for it, we combine the LiDAR pass with drone photogrammetry in the same mission — delivering a point cloud dense enough for engineering design alongside photo-realistic orthomosaic imagery, without flying the site twice.

Fly the Survey, Not Just the Site
If your alignment runs through terrain a vehicle can't cover, drone LiDAR gets you survey-grade data anyway. Tell us about your route and we'll scope the right platform for it.
