Earthworks.
Volume, terrain and movement — measured.
Aerial survey and LiDAR for earthmoving, cut-and-fill, terrain modelling and large-scale civil engineering operations. Accurate volumetric data, progress records and as-built documentation at every stage — without the time and cost of conventional ground survey across large sites.
Survey data that drives the earthworks programme.
Earthworks operations live and die by accurate volume data. Our UAV photogrammetric and LiDAR survey service delivers terrain models, cut-and-fill calculations and stockpile volumes at the speed and frequency that modern earthworks programmes demand — typically within 24 hours of a site visit, to sub-5cm absolute accuracy across sites of any scale.
We work across major infrastructure schemes, roadworks, flood defence construction, mineral extraction and large-scale development — providing pre-commencement baseline surveys, regular progress captures and final as-built terrain models that feed directly into the commercial and programme reporting process. Repeat surveys are georeferenced to the same control, enabling direct comparison between any two points in the programme.
Where detailed terrain geometry is required for design or as-built verification, we deploy LiDAR alongside photogrammetric capture — producing dense point clouds that resolve embankment gradients, drainage channels and structural features that photogrammetry alone may not resolve at finer scales.
