Drone Services

Overview

High precision drone surveying and mapping services for construction, excavation, and infrastructure projects across the Vancouver and Sea to Sky region.

Using advanced RTK and LiDAR equipped drones, we deliver accurate, fast, and cost effective site data helping you make better decisions, reduce rework, and keep your project moving.

Technology & Equipment

We use industry leading equipment to ensure consistent, survey grade results:

  • RTK enabled drones for centimetre level accuracy

  • LiDAR scanning systems for detailed terrain capture

  • GNSS base and rover systems for precise ground control

  • Advanced processing software for accurate deliverables

This combination allows us to deliver reliable data quickly, even in challenging terrain and remote environments.

Topographic Surveys

Accurate surface models and terrain mapping for planning, design, and site analysis.

  • Digital Terrain Models (DTM)

  • Contours and elevation data

  • Cut & fill analysis

  • Pre construction site mapping

LiDAR Scanning

Advanced LiDAR data capture for complex or vegetated environments.

  • Penetration through light vegetation

  • High density point clouds

  • Accurate ground models in difficult terrain

  • Ideal for large or complex sites

Construction Progress Monitoring

Stay on top of your project with regular aerial updates.

  • Scheduled site flights

  • Visual progress reports

  • Comparison datasets over time

  • Improved communication with stakeholders

Deliverables

We provide data in formats that integrate directly into your workflow:

  • Orthomosaic maps (GeoTIFF)

  • Point clouds (.LAS .PLY .PNTS .LAZ)

  • Surface models (DSM/DTM)

  • Contours and CAD-ready files (.DXF .TIN)

  • Volume reports

  • PDF summaries for easy review

Custom deliverables available depending on your project requirements.
