Calgary LiDAR Surveyors – UAV, Bathymetric & Volumetric Experts

Navigating Alberta's Demanding Terrain & Conditions

Alberta's landscape — from the variable foothills slopes and dense boreal forests to expansive prairies and river systems — requires specialized approaches. Traditional methods often fall short in vegetated or high-relief areas, while weather windows are short.

• Foothills & Rugged Terrain: Steep slopes and heavy vegetation hide ground features. Our UAV and manned LiDAR penetrates canopy for accurate bare-earth models, essential for pipeline corridors, infrastructure planning, and landslide risk assessment in southern Alberta.
• Winter & Seasonal Operations: Snow cover, frozen ground, reduced daylight, and cold temperatures complicate access and data quality. We time flights for optimal conditions (no heavy snow/fog), use high-density point clouds to overcome partial obscuration, and leverage mobile mapping for rapid corridor and infrastructure capture even in challenging seasons.
• Bathymetric & Water Challenges: Alberta's rivers, lakes, and reservoirs demand clear-water windows and precise depth mapping. Our hydrographic surveys handle variable turbidity and deliver seamless topo-bathymetric models for flood mapping, dredging, and environmental compliance.
• Regulatory & Project Efficiency: Strict Alberta standards for engineering-grade accuracy and rapid provincial approvals. We provide survey-grade deliverables that meet AEP, AER, and municipal requirements, with fast processing so your energy, construction, or infrastructure project stays on schedule.

Proven Local Expertise in Action

We've mapped over 200 km of pipeline corridors through Alberta's mixed terrain, delivered comprehensive 3D urban and town models for Calgary-area developments, and provided precise geospatial support for infrastructure and energy projects in challenging conditions — all with millimetre-level accuracy and rapid turnaround from our Calgary base.

Choosing a local partner means faster site visits, better understanding of Alberta-specific needs (like foothills drainage patterns or boreal access restrictions), and responsive service when weather windows open unexpectedly.
