Airborne LiDAR scan of urban area

Our key services relate to:- airborne laser scanning or ALS, laser scanning quality control, lidar survey accuracy, ground verification and validation, calibration, aerial mapping, remote sensing, laser survey, topographic maps and mapping, creation of DTM, DGM, DEM, digital terrain model, digital elevation model, DTM accuracy checking, altimetry, bathymetry, inertial navigation systems, INS, and GPS ground control.

For service purchasers:

Contact us with details regarding the laser scanning survey that you require. We can provide or source lidar surveys for you based on an independent appraisal of your requirements. We also Provide independent quality control, confirming the accuracy of LiDAR data you may purchase from other providers. We can write the specifications for the laser scanning survey work and ensure they are adhered to.

For service providers:

If you provide laser scanning services, we can provide independent confirmation of your accuracies, and offer ground GPS control services - worldwide. LiDAR processing services include coordinate transformation services for both plan and height data. Also, we can process the LiDAR data to produce a variety of digital products, including: Digital Elevation Models, contour models, vector maps for showing water drainage and more...

Airborne LiDAR has a wide range of applications:

  • Pipeline, transmission line or highway and railway corridor surveys.
  • Urban environments - lidar data is often used for Telecommunications planning work.
  • Flood plain surveys - coastal or river, DEM's created from LiDAR data can be used to model flooding events.
  • Urban mapping.
  • Forestry (mapping of tree canopies).
  • Archaeology, ability to penetrate tree canopies and vegetation even in densely foliated areas.
  • Seismic exploration - planning the layout for 2D and 3D work - slope maps.
  • Coastal zone surveys - accessing inter-tidal zone, or difficult access areas. Providing data for erosion, sediment transport and sea defence studies.
  • Oil and Gas - infrastructure development planning and design (Roads, pipelines, plant, well sites).
