UAV & LiDAR MAPPING
Capture sites faster and safer with high-definition accuracy.
BTW’s CAA Part 102-certified UAV pilots deliver detailed imagery and LiDAR point clouds for terrain, corridors and complex assets, giving you reliable data for smarter decisions.
Why choose this service:
- Reduced risk and access time – Drones capture hard-to-reach or hazardous areas without putting people in danger.
- Accurate 3D information: We create detailed 3D models, including:
- Digital Surface Models (DSM) – showing the ground plus everything on it, like trees and buildings.
- Digital Terrain Models (DTM) – showing just the bare earth surface, with vegetation and structures removed.
- Quick turnaround, lower cost: Data is captured quickly, often processed in days, giving you more information for less cost compared with traditional surveys.
UAV and LiDAR technology provide design-quality results for many applications, from flood modelling to infrastructure planning. We can capture detail under vegetation where conditions allow, and deliver clear, accurate models for engineering, planning and compliance. Typical sites are processed in days, while larger corridors may take longer due to flight and processing requirements.
