Mapping & Design Data

Aerial & Drone Mapping

Can we map a large site from the air — accurately?

Also called: drone survey, uav mapping, photogrammetry, aerial survey, or aerial lidar.

Understanding the work

Aerial capture is flown by an experienced partner under our direction. We set and measure the ground control that ties the data to real-world coordinates, check its accuracy, and turn it into topographic maps, surfaces, and CAD drawings.

  • Large tracts & acreage
  • Earthwork & stockpiles
  • Corridor & site planning

Who it’s for

  • Developers evaluating large tracts
  • Engineers needing wide-area topography
  • Agencies mapping corridors or facilities

Typical work involved

  • Flight planning with our aerial partner
  • Ground control and check-point survey
  • Data review, drafting, and accuracy checks

The result

What you’ll receive

  • Topographic map & surface model
  • Orthophoto imagery
  • CAD drawings tied to project control

Common questions

What clients ask about this work

Can you use aerial photos to produce a survey?

Aerial mapping can support certain projects, but ground control, accuracy checks and the intended use determine whether it meets a survey need.

Do you fly drones or aerial LiDAR?

Aerial capture is flown by an experienced partner under our direction. We set and survey the ground control, check the accuracy, and produce the final maps and drawings.
