Challenges of the clients

Inaccessible, confusing, or large areas complicate traditional surveying. Delays and planning errors arise due to missing terrain data.

solution

Use of drones with LiDAR for rapid, large-scale, and precise surveying of terrain structures, construction sites, and infrastructure. Creation of digital terrain models and volume calculations. Mobile or terrestrial scanners are also used to capture detailed images of invisible or covered areas—for example, under roofs, bridges, or in ditches.
