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.
