Drone LiDAR for Construction and Earthworks Projects

Alberta construction and earthworks projects often require current surface data, progress measurements, volume information and accurate site documentation. Drone LiDAR can help collect detailed terrain and surface information for grading, excavation, drainage, site servicing, stockpiles, pads, roads and construction planning.

PCI Surveys can combine drone LiDAR with construction surveying, site control, topographic survey data and as-built measurements where a project needs both aerial mapping and field survey support.

Point Clouds, Orthophotos, Contours and Surface Models

Drone LiDAR deliverables can help engineers, contractors, consultants and owners understand existing site conditions and track changes over time. Depending on the project, PCI Surveys can provide point clouds, orthophotos, contours, surface models, elevation data, volumes and mapping outputs.

These deliverables can support design, planning, project exhibits, quantity calculations, site documentation, construction coordination and progress review.

Drone LiDAR for Industrial Sites, Acreages and Corridors

PCI Surveys supports industrial, commercial, acreage and infrastructure project sites with drone LiDAR mapping, UAV imagery, surface data and survey deliverables. This can be useful for yards, drainage areas, access roads, corridors, laydown areas, stockpiles, private roads, rural properties and larger project sites.

Drone LiDAR can also be combined with ground survey measurements where site control, ground checks or higher-confidence deliverables are required.

Volumes, Stockpiles and Quantity Support

Drone LiDAR and UAV mapping can support volume calculations and material tracking for stockpiles, earthworks, excavation, backfill, borrow areas, grading projects and construction progress. PCI Surveys can prepare surface models and quantity information depending on the project requirements.

Volume data can be useful for contractors, owners, engineers and project managers who need practical measurements for planning, progress review, reporting or project records.

Survey Control and Accuracy

Drone LiDAR projects often require survey control, ground checks or field measurements to support the accuracy and usefulness of the final deliverables. PCI Surveys can establish control, collect ground points and combine survey measurements with drone LiDAR data depending on the project needs.

Accuracy depends on site conditions, control, flight planning, surface conditions, vegetation, processing methods and final deliverable requirements. PCI Surveys provides practical deliverables matched to the intended use of the data.

Combining Drone LiDAR with Other Field Services

Many projects benefit from more than one type of field data. PCI Surveys can combine drone LiDAR with construction surveying, topographic surveys, GPR scanning or private line locating when the project requires mapping, layout, underground utility information or site investigation support.
