Services
Low Altitude Mapping
Low Altitude Mapping uses helicopter-based photogrammetry to collect precise roadway data without disrupting traffic. This method enhances safety by eliminating ground surveyor exposure to high-speed vehicles. Clients benefit from faster project timelines and reduced costs compared to traditional survey methods.
Rail Corridor Mapping
Rail Corridor Mapping employs LiDAR to create detailed 3D models of railway infrastructure. This technology captures track conditions, surrounding terrain, and assets for maintenance and expansion planning. It ensures accurate data collection at highway speeds, minimizing operational disruptions.
Aeronautical Surveys
Aeronautical Surveys provide critical data for airport expansion and safety assessments. Using photogrammetry, we map obstructions, runways, and airspace to support FAA compliance and infrastructure development. Our work aids in line-of-sight studies and obstacle clearance analysis.
Environmental Management
Environmental Management services use remote sensing to monitor wetlands, coastal zones, and habitats. We deliver orthophotography and elevation data for conservation planning and regulatory compliance. This supports agencies in managing natural resources and assessing environmental impacts.
Mobile LiDAR
Mobile LiDAR captures high-resolution 3D data along roads and railways at speeds up to 70 mph. This technology enables efficient asset inventory and infrastructure analysis. Clients receive detailed models for design, maintenance, and safety improvements without traffic interruptions.
Questions
How does low-altitude photogrammetry improve roadway safety?
Low-altitude photogrammetry eliminates the need to place surveyors in high-traffic areas, reducing injury risks while maintaining design-quality accuracy for road projects.
What industries do you serve?
