Construction

The use of LiDAR and aerial data imagery on construction sites is an innovative approach that can identify better work practices, highlight safety issues and provide a new perspective to owners, contractors and investors.

Manage Your Jobsite with Real-time Insights

We are here to provide you with insights and confidence that will help you improve your operational efficiencies. Our mission is to give you—the companies who build the world—supreme confidence. Frequently capturing reality data, overlaying plans and sharing with stakeholders helps project managers and superintendents stay on schedule and prevent cost overruns from expensive rework.

Firmatek Cloud enables construction managers to quickly and easily capture aerial imagery of a jobsite, gather site data with context, analyze real time data, and distribute it to relevant team members. Our team of expert data processors and engineers can generate maps, point clouds for 3D modeling, stockpile volume calculations and reports to effectively plan your construction projects and monitor site progress over time.

Streamline Operations with Aerial Data

Better Time Management

Save time on site visits and focus on actually managing your projects. Make your weekly and monthly reporting less time consuming by utilizing Firmatek Cloud for measuring, annotating and generating custom reports to share with key contributors and stakeholders.

Stay on Schedule

Increase productivity and minimize delays due to unforeseen errors.

Monitor Contractors

Produce an iron clad visual audit trail of contractors work with historical site data.

Is the Construction Industry Ready to Digitize?

By Andrew Maximow, Chief Drone Officer Could 2020 be the watershed moment when the construction industry finally goes digital? Or is this conversion to digitization only temporary? Will we eventually go back to the manual, paper-based ways of doing things? ...

Deliverables

Experts in data capture and analysis, we transform data into actionable insights through customized deliverables.

Ortho Imagery

An orthophoto, orthomosaic or orthoimage is an aerial photograph geometrically corrected so that the scale is uniform. Unlike an uncorrected aerial photograph, an orthophoto can be used to measure true distances because it is an accurate representation of the Earth’s surface, having been adjusted for topographic relief, lens distortion, and camera tilt.

LAS Point Cloud

A point cloud is a set of data points in a coordinate system. In a three-dimensional coordinate system, these points are usually defined by X, Y, and Z coordinates, and often are intended to represent the external surface of an object. LiDAR scanners and Drones gather point measurements from real-world objects or photos for a point cloud that can then be translated to a 3D mesh or CAD model.

Stockpile Volume

Generate 3D models and accurate volumes of indoor and outdoor stockpiles. Our LiDAR laser scanning and Aerial Data reporting help you survey stockpiles safely, accurately and efficiently to meet reporting and contractor deadlines.

Cut and Fill Calculations

Cut and Fill Volume Calculations

We reduce the manual work needed to perform a cut-and-fill. Once LiDAR or Drone Aerial Data is collected, our DARP platforms enables cloud processing and export into native Autodesk file formats like an RCS, a point cloud file that can be used in AutoCAD.

Topographic CAD

Our Data Analysis and Reporting platforms uses LiDAR and Drone Aerial Data to provide all data points necessary to create fast and reliable terrain models, contours and volume calculations.

Transform your site data into powerful insights.
