Fixed Wing LiDAR

Speed

A fixed wing platform is the most rapid method to conduct a LiDAR survey. Typically flying at speeds of 120 kts we can quickly cover the survey area while simultaneously acquiring highly accurate data. If time is critical this is the fastest way to collect and process survey data.

High Resolution

Our LiDAR system emits 200,000 laser pulses a second ensuring we always capture the highest resolution data. This results in thousands of measured points and a true representation of the surveyed terrain. Slope, gradient and elevation are captured and precisely recorded to give our clients the most comprehensive information possible.

Accuracy

We can provide accuracy within 5cm; this is verified by terrestrial survey methods.

Canopy Penetration

Our scanner’s laser pulses penetrate the tree canopy, providing information on both the ground surface and any buildings or large objects. This means that we can produce models and maps of the ground even when they are masked by forest.

Cost

In most cases aerial LiDAR will present large cost savings when compared to traditional survey methods. Please contact Network Mapping to obtain an indicative price for a survey tailored to your requirements.

Non-Invasive

Airborne LiDAR enables surveys to be carried out across difficult and vast terrain, where a ground survey is simply not feasible. Network Mapping's staff are experts in mobilising in inhospitable environments, and we have worked in Europe, the Middle East, Australasia and the Americas, including the survey of around 800 km2 in the Ecuadorian rainforest and icecaps of Greenland. Previous survey areas include the mountainous regions of, Oman, the Alps and the Pyrenees.
