LiDAR Aerial Mapping

LiDAR Aerial Mapping for Civil, Earthwork, and Infrastructure Projects

When photogrammetry is not enough, LiDAR is. Our aerial LiDAR platform captures dense, colorized point clouds with multiple returns per pulse, penetrating vegetation canopy to reach the bare earth surface below. That makes it the right tool for heavily vegetated Florida sites, corridor mapping, and civil earthwork projects where ground surface accuracy matters more than visual imagery. If your project requires a classified terrain model, a bare-earth DTM, or point cloud data for drainage or grading work, this is the platform for it.

Who This Is For

Civil engineers and land development consultants who need accurate existing-conditions terrain models. Earthwork contractors verifying cut/fill volumes against design surfaces. Survey firms augmenting field crews with aerial collection. Infrastructure owners documenting corridors, utilities, or drainage features. Developers working in Florida’s densely vegetated terrain where photogrammetry alone cannot produce a reliable bare-earth model.

Deliverables

  • Raw point cloud (.LAS/.LAZ)
  • Classified point cloud with ground, vegetation, and structure separation
  • Bare-earth DTM (GeoTIFF)
  • Digital Surface Model (GeoTIFF)
  • Contour export (DXF or GeoTIFF, client-specified interval)
  • Colorized point cloud with RGB imagery overlay
  • Optional add-ons: cut/fill analysis against client-supplied design surface, corridor mapping deliverables

Why It Matters

Get the ground surface data your civil team needs, without waiting on a traditional ground survey crew to walk the site. Feed clean point cloud data directly into your CAD or grading workflow. Ideal for clients searching for aerial LiDAR mapping, LiDAR drone survey, and bare earth terrain modeling.

Accuracy Note

LiDAR point cloud accuracy depends on flight conditions, GNSS status, and processing workflow. For projects requiring absolute accuracy to a specific vertical datum or a licensed surveyor stamp, we recommend coordinating with a licensed surveyor for ground control and independent checkpoint verification. We are not licensed surveyors and do not represent our deliverables as legal survey products.
