Excavation Efficiency: Using Lidar and Drones in 2 Steps
LiDAR topographic survey, just in time before site servicing and excavation works.
When it comes to accurate data that makes a difference, Stratus Geomatics delivers. A perfect DTM surface makes the difference for our sewer and watermain client, ensuring they know exactly how much material is on site and where to move it.
After a careful, detailed LiDAR drone flight, we meticulously extracted every trace of vegetation and removed water anomalies, revealing a pristine point cloud that vividly captures the ground surface contours. Following this, we crafted a sophisticated CAD-compatible surface in Trimble Business Center, empowering our client’s geomatics department to assess the volume of surplus soil accurately and ensuring a smooth, efficient project execution.
Utilizing a LiDAR technology provider like Stratus Geomatics for pre-excavation topographic surveys significantly reduces costs for construction companies involved in earthworks, sewer, and water main installations. By providing precise, high-resolution data, LiDAR enhances project planning and execution, minimizing the risk of costly errors and delays. This technology streamlines GPS integration, ensuring accurate mapping of existing infrastructure —a crucial factor for efficient earthworks operations and installations.
For construction companies, adopting a LiDAR service provider for topographic surveys improves resource allocation and reduces unforeseen expenses. Accurate data helps in identifying potential issues before work begins, leading to smoother operations in sewer and water main projects. By investing in LiDAR technology, businesses can improve their competitive edge, enhance project outcomes, and ultimately save money in the long run.
