Environmental Impact
We can minimize the need for traditional ground-based surveying, helping to reduce the disturbance of natural environments.
Our Team
Our Equipment
We can capture both Aerial LiDAR Scanning (ALS) data and Mobile terrestrial Laser Scanning (MLS) to combine the efficiency of large-scale ALS data with the ultra-high precision and resolution of MLS data to produce totally comprehensive, survey-accurate digital twins. We also have a range of cutting-edge scanners and high-performance aircraft enabling us to provide the most cost-effective solution for specific data capture requirements.
