Laser Scanning & LiDAR Datasets
We have placed a great amount of emphasis on integrating the industry’s latest technological tools. Our philosophy with respect to technology is not to invest in just one manufacturer’s best tools, but invest in the best tools period. Whether it’s robotic total stations, global positioning systems (GPS), multiple laser scanners, ground penetrating radar (GPR), terrestrial and aerial LiDAR sensors, auto and digital leveling, CAD software, geographic information systems (GIS), or many other tools. We feel that having the ability to appropriately apply the best available technologies on every project allows us to make a great product for a diverse range of project mapping needs.
LiDAR/Laser Scanning Services
Integrating 3D Laser Scanning technology into project workflows has been proven to compress schedules, lower re-work, and achieve cost savings. Laser scanners, or LiDAR sensors, allow users to rapidly collect data using lasers. The datasets collected are called point clouds. Point clouds more often than not now consist of billions of accurate and measurable points within known project datums. This allows the surveyors to simply bring the field to the office. Thus, drastically reducing the amount of time spent on the project site and thereby also reducing the risk of hazards.
For years, the technology was thought to be too expensive, slow, and cumbersome. However, recent advancements in both software and hardware technologies have enabled laser scanning to become a major benefit when integrated. Laser Scanning or LiDAR enables the Surveyor to rapidly map the surfaces of most objects and/or parts of the earth. Regardless of the project size, Laser Scanning and/or LiDAR may be the best tool for the project.
We have three different types of laser scanners/LiDAR sensors to choose from to help accurately map just about any of your project needs. Contact us should you have a need for any high-definition 3D surveying.
