Drone LiDAR for Construction and Redevelopment Projects

Vancouver and Lower Mainland projects often involve active construction areas, tight access, existing buildings, paved surfaces, drainage features, utilities, corridors and redevelopment constraints. Drone LiDAR can help project teams collect useful site information for planning, design, construction support, quantities and project documentation.

Drone LiDAR and UAV mapping can support existing condition documentation, surface modelling, progress tracking, volume calculations, access planning and as-built support depending on the project requirements.

Point Clouds, Orthophotos, Contours and Surface Models

Drone LiDAR deliverables can help engineers, contractors, consultants and owners understand site conditions and make better project decisions. 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 and Infrastructure Sites

PCI Surveys supports industrial, commercial and infrastructure project sites with drone LiDAR mapping, UAV imagery, surface data and survey deliverables. This can be useful for yards, corridors, drainage areas, access routes, laydown areas, stockpiles, road work, utilities and other project features.

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

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.
