We cover very large areas in a short time to produce orthophotos and 3D terrain models, and to gather the information that is essential for the design of motorways, wind farms, hydrographic works, systematic cadastre and high voltage lines.
Drone surveys and laser scanning
Fast measurement over large areas.
We survey with aircraft, quadcopter drones and airborne or terrestrial laser scanners for orthophotos, point clouds, 3D models, volumes and technical inspections.
We survey construction sites, platforms, buildings, quarries, stockpiles, earthwork volumes and industrial areas in detail, wherever a high point density and centimetre resolution are needed. Drones are used on medium and small areas because of the versatility they offer.
With scanners mounted on fixed-wing drones, quadcopters, static tripods or mobile platforms we deliver a level of point cloud detail that no other method can reach. Laser scanning can measure high voltage cables, complex installations in refineries or industrial parks, facades with complex architecture, or areas that are hard to reach by other means.
We turn measurements into technical data that can be used for design, checks and complete documentation of the site. We carry out fast, accurate calculations of excavation volumes, stockpiles, quarries and gravel pits. We digitise laser-scanned industrial installations down to valve level. We extract point grids, model the terrain as DTM and DSM through GeoTIFF or TIN, and use our own software for volume calculations, file conversions and the extraction of elevation detail.
We take photographs and video of the assets that need inspection and reconnaissance. We can inspect wind turbines, chimneys, installations that are hard to reach, mountain or marshy areas. We carry out reconnaissance with 4K video for road and railway alignments and for dangerous areas. Images are captured with professional and industrial full frame cameras at resolutions of up to 61 MP (9504x6336).
Where the road ends, our mission can continue. An L200, two ATVs and a team on foot allow us to cover difficult terrain in varied conditions. RTK drones, 3D laser scanners and precision GPS are ready to operate on isolated sites, in mountain areas, industrial zones, linear works and locations with limited access.
Data captured in the field is prepared and delivered so that it fits the client workflow, with no extra conversions and no loss of information. We export for AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, QGIS, Leica Infinity, Google Earth and other platforms. For BIM projects we deliver indexed RCP/RCS point clouds and LAS/LAZ LiDAR data, ready for Revit or ArchiCAD, at LOD 200 or LOD 300.
