Decision-Ready Data

Accurate Data. Actionable Results.

Accurate, repeatable data is the foundation of good decisions in the field. Using advanced drone platforms, airborne LiDAR sensors, and disciplined processing workflows, we turn complex sites — remote, rough, vegetated, or constantly changing — into clear, measurable information you can trust.

How Drone Surveying & LiDAR Help You

Better Visibility

See your entire site in one georeferenced map or point cloud, instead of piecing together ground photos and notes.

Faster Insights

Capture large areas in a single flight, with turnaround times measured in days, not weeks.

Improved Safety

Limit time on steep slopes, unstable ground, or active work zones.

LiDAR Through Vegetation

Penetrate tree canopy and brush to model bare-earth terrain where traditional imagery struggles.

Cost Control

Reduce repeated mobilizations and field hours, and avoid rework by catching issues early.

Documentation

Build a permanent visual and spatial record of your site over time.

What We Offer

Core Surveying & LiDAR Services

01

Topographic & Contour Mapping

Get the elevation data you need to plan, design, and verify work. We use both photogrammetry and LiDAR to generate dense, accurate elevation models — topographic maps, contour lines, cut-and-fill calculations, and slope and drainage insights.

Ideal For

New pad and facility locations, access road alignment, site expansions, land development and grading projects.

02

Stockpile & Volume Measurements

Know exactly how much material you have on the ground. We use drone-derived point clouds (from imagery or LiDAR, depending on the site) to calculate volumes for aggregate, soil, overburden piles, product stockpiles, and landfill cells.

Ideal For

Objective measurements for inventory and billing, time-stamped documentation, rapid re-measurement when conditions change.

03

Construction Progress & As-Built Documentation

Track your project visually and quantitatively from start to finish. Regular flights create a time series — progress documentation, as-built snapshots, issue identification, and visual support for RFIs, change orders, and dispute resolution.

Ideal For

Civil and earthwork projects, facility expansions, large right-of-way and linear projects.

04

Environmental & Reclamation Monitoring

With Grant's background in Energy Resource Management and Reclamation & Restoration Ecology, we approach this work with both technical and regulatory awareness. Aerial documentation of reclamation progress, vegetation monitoring, before-and-after imagery and point clouds.

Ideal For

Well pad reclamation, pipeline corridor stabilization, mine closure tracking, habitat restoration.

05

Asset & Infrastructure Surveys

Get a current, accurate view of your built assets. Well pads, facilities, tank batteries, access roads, pipelines, overhead utilities, yards, and staging areas — documented with orthomosaics, LiDAR point clouds, and elevation models.

Ideal For

Planning and design, condition documentation, site layout and space utilization planning.

Advanced Capability

LiDAR Mapping

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) allows us to capture millions of precise elevation points across a site, even in challenging conditions. We'll help you decide whether a photogrammetry-only approach or a LiDAR-enhanced survey is the right balance of accuracy, cost, and turnaround.

When LiDAR Is a Good Fit

  • Sites with tree canopy, brush, or tall grasses where you need bare-earth terrain
  • Projects requiring high-accuracy elevation models over large or complex areas
  • Detailed analysis of drainage, slope, and small grade changes
  • Long linear projects such as roads, pipelines, and power lines

What LiDAR Adds

  • Bare-Earth Models: Separate ground from vegetation and structures for clean terrain surfaces
  • Dense Point Clouds: A high-detail 3D representation of your site for design, analysis, and visualization
  • Consistent Baseline: Repeat flights using the same LiDAR workflow to track change over time

  • High-resolution stills and annotated maps for reports and presentations

Our Process

How a Survey Project Works

1

Initial Consultation

You share a site location, project goals, and deadlines. We discuss accuracy requirements, terrain conditions, and whether LiDAR, photogrammetry, or a combination is the best fit.

2

Flight Planning & Approvals

We design a flight plan — altitude, overlap, flight lines, and LiDAR settings if applicable. We address airspace authorization, land access, and on-site coordination.

3

On-Site Data Capture

We mobilize to the site and conduct safe, controlled flight operations. Ground control or checkpoints may be used, depending on your accuracy requirements.

4

Processing & Analysis

Collected data is processed into maps, models, and measurements. We run quality checks and verify outputs align with your expectations.

5

Delivery & Review

You receive digital files and a summary of key findings. We can walk through results with your team so everyone understands how to use the data.

Who We Serve

Our surveying, LiDAR, and mapping services are a strong fit for energy production companies, environmental and reclamation consultants, civil and earthwork contractors, landowners and ranchers managing large properties, and municipalities needing site documentation. If you're unsure whether drone LiDAR or traditional surveying is right for your project, we're happy to talk it through.
