Field Services

Firmatek’s Field Services are an end-to-end solution for our clients in a variety of industries. Our team schedules and plans the job, collects the data, processes and analyzes the data, then provides you with the deliverable.

Field Services Improve Client Operations

No matter what industry you are in, you’re busy. We get it. We work with you to determine the insights you need to operate more effectively, and we take care of the rest. All you have to do then is use those insights to make your business decisions.

Our nationwide field staff rapidly mobilizes across the country, performing more than 2,500 field service jobs per year.

Our Geospatial Field Technicians are professional, well-trained and safety certified. Every member of our field team has a FAA Part 107 License and has received MSHA safety training. The standard operating procedures we’ve established ensure that our employees and your employees are safe while we collect quality data onsite.

Field Services Process

Our field services process has four main parts.

Job Planning

First, we discuss the job requirements and timing with you, then plan and schedule the job. One of our field technicians comes to your site and performs the data collection.

In-Field Data Collection

Our field technician uses the best data capture tool for that job. Our team is skilled in deploying mobile or stationary UAV based LiDAR and UAV photogrammetry for data capture.

Data Processing

After the data is captured, we upload it to our processing and engineering teams for analysis and final deliverable production. You receive deliverables, reports, and insights in Kespry Cloud.

Firmatek Support

Our team is available to answer questions and explain the data so that you can turn the insights into business intelligence.

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.
