Case Studies

Real results for real projects

Highway Expansion Project

Challenge

8km corridor survey with tight deadlines and complex terrain.

Solution

LiDAR drone survey completed in 2 days vs 3 weeks traditional. 200 hectares covered.

Result

Β±2cm accuracy. Comprehensive dataset including areas traditional crews couldn't safely access.

Urban Development Site

Challenge

Detailed topographic survey of a 20-hectare urban redevelopment site with limited access.

Solution

Single-day LiDAR drone survey with colorized point cloud delivered in 48 hours.

Result

Client saved $15,000 vs ground survey while receiving more comprehensive data.

Flood Control Assessment

Challenge

Accurate elevation data needed along 5km of riverbank with dense vegetation.

Solution

LiDAR drone survey penetrated canopy to capture true ground elevations.

Result

Superior data quality that traditional methods couldn't match, leading to ongoing monitoring contract.
