High-Precision LiDAR Data for Critical Decision-Making.

Actionable Data.
Measurable Savings.

Explore how our high-precision mapping prevents costly grading errors and streamlines workflows to save your project time and money.

Whether you’re moving dirt, laying pipe, or monitoring assets, our data provides the single source of truth for your job site.
Z

Move Dirt Efficiently

Verify yardage and manage stockpiles with auditable data.
Z

Build with Confidence

Design on true bare-earth models, not outdated maps.
Z

Stay Compliant

Document environmental regulations with survey-grade proof.

Case 01

Earthwork & Volumetric Verification

Your Challenge

Disputes over moved yardage or inaccurate stockpile inventories eating into your margins.

The Summit Solution

We deploy the DJI M4E and Propeller platform to generate a digital twin of your pits and piles.

The Value

  • Settle billing disputes with contractors using impartial, third-party data.
  • Know exactly what material is on-site with an auditable trail, reducing the 10%+ error margin of traditional “bucket counting” down to 1–2%.

Key Deliverable

Interactive volumetric reports and cut/fill heatmaps.

Case 02

Pre-Construction & Design Surveys

Your Challenge

Designing on top of outdated topo maps leads to costly surprises once grading begins.

The Summit Solution

Freefly Astro + Phoenix LiDAR. We capture high-density terrain data before the first shovel hits the ground.

The Value

  • LiDAR sees through the brush to find the true bare earth.
  • Provide your civil engineers with a survey-grade baseline so that drainage studies and grading plans are built on reality, not guesswork.

Key Deliverable

1′ Contours and CAD-ready surface files (TIN).

Case 03

Compliance & Asset Monitoring

Your Challenge

Ensuring secondary containment and sediment ponds meet strict regulatory capacities.

The Summit Solution

We perform precision mapping of containment berms and pond slopes to calculate exact as-built storage volumes.

The Value

  • Provide documented proof for SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure) compliance.
  • Monitor for erosion, landslides, or subsidence near critical infrastructure like pipelines and well pads.

Key Deliverable

Capacity certification reports and temporal change detection.

Case 04

Construction Progress & As-Built Documentation

Your Challenge

Lack of visibility for remote stakeholders and the risk of burying utility errors.

The Summit Solution

Regular photogrammetry flights provide a high-resolution, georeferenced visual record of the entire site.

The Value

  • Use the Propeller timeline tool to “slide” between dates and see exactly how the site has evolved.
  • Overlay your original CAD designs directly onto our current-day imagery to catch errors before they become permanent.

Key Deliverable

High-resolution orthomosaic maps and 3D site walkthroughs.

Case 05

Regulatory Compliance & Topsoil Verification

Your Challenge

Disputes with the ECMC over topsoil salvage quantities (Form 2A / Rule 1002) and the costly downtime waiting for ground crews to verify compliance.

The Summit Solution

We deploy LiDAR-equipped drones to capture precise pre-and post-disturbance surface models of your topsoil stockpiles and salvage areas.

The Value

  • Eliminate the downtime associated with scheduling ground surveys and confidently continue building your oil and gas pad.
  • Provide indisputable, impartial volumetric data to satisfy regulatory requirements and prove conservation compliance.

Key Deliverable

Verified Volumetric Reports and Audit-Ready Surface Models.
