LiDAR for Terrain, Vegetation and Remote Sites

Drone LiDAR is especially useful where terrain, vegetation or site access makes traditional data collection slower or less efficient. LiDAR can capture detailed elevation information and help build surface models for planning, design, construction, reclamation, drainage and reporting.

For Northern BC project sites, drone LiDAR can help document existing conditions, measure terrain changes, support access planning, map corridors, calculate quantities and provide useful data for engineers, contractors, mine operators and environmental consultants.

Drone LiDAR for Mining, Reclamation and Resource Projects

PCI Surveys supports mining, reclamation, aggregate, forestry, environmental and resource projects with drone LiDAR mapping, terrain data, volumes, contours, orthophotos and site documentation.

Drone LiDAR can support project planning, reclamation progress tracking, stockpile measurements, access route mapping, drainage review, surface modelling and reporting for Northern BC project sites.

Drone LiDAR for Construction and Engineering Projects

Construction and engineering teams can use drone LiDAR data for existing conditions, design support, surface modelling, quantities, progress documentation and as-built support. PCI Surveys can combine drone LiDAR with construction surveying, topographic surveys, GPR scanning or private line locating where the project requires multiple types of field data.

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, vegetation, surface conditions, processing methods and final deliverable requirements. PCI Surveys works to provide clear, practical deliverables that match the intended use of the data.
