High-Precision Drone LiDAR Services

Understand your site like never before.

LiDAR will open your eyes to a new perspective of your project. Make informed decisions with confidence.

The LiDAR Difference

Seeing What Others Miss

LiDAR clearly trumps photogrammetry on sites with vegetative cover, low light, moving equipment or where existing structures might interfere with imagery.

We don’t guess. We measure.

LiDAR’s laser pulses can reveal the true terrain beneath vegetation and shadows, to deliver a “True Bare Earth” model with high accuracy in the daylight, or at night and in any type of terrain and ground vegetation.

When to Choose LiDAR

Eliminate Risks on High-Stakes Projects

Let Summit change your perception about how reasonable LiDAR can be and how much value it can add to your project.

Z

High Precision Vertical Accuracy

With documented absolute accuracy of 2-5 cm, our LiDAR equipment can deliver the accuracy needed for survey and engineering professionals to use in applications like construction surveying, utilities mapping, and vegetation management.

Z

Volumetric Auditing

Settling a dispute on moved earth? Close enough isn’t good enough. We provide a dense, undeniable point cloud to serve as the final word in volume disputes.

Z

Heavy Vegetation Penetration

Photogrammetry only maps the top of the greenery. LiDAR penetrates sagebrush, tall grass, and tree canopy to give you actual ground elevation.

Z

Hazardous & Steep Terrain

Stop sending ground crews up dangerous slopes or into active industrial zones. We map the entire area from the air with higher density than a crew could achieve on foot.

Z

Seeing Through The Noise

On active sites, we clean the data effectively—stripping away equipment, structures, and debris to show the raw land underneath.

Surprisingly affordable

Regardless of your project size, LiDAR can add value by bringing clarity to your project management’s critical path.

Rock-Solid Data. Elite Hardware.

We back our work with an industrial-grade stack to ensure data integrity.
