How We Deliver

A clear process from technical scoping through final handover.

01
Scope

Define objectives, accuracy targets, formats, and delivery timeline.

Paperwork and project setup: scope definition, access approvals, safety documentation, and technical specifications.

02
Capture

Deploy the right platform for site conditions and project scale.

Capture platforms include drones, planes, helicopters, tripod scanners, and GPS survey control.

03
Process

Apply QA-led processing and classification for consistent outputs.

Point cloud processing and modelling convert raw capture into structured, analysis-ready geospatial products.

04
Deliver

Provide project-ready datasets and technical support for handover.

Delivery includes packaged products, quality reports, and handover assets tailored to client workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to the questions we receive most often about our survey and geospatial services.

What areas do you cover in South Africa?

We deliver geospatial and survey services across South Africa, with project planning tailored to site access, terrain, and operating requirements.

What deliverables can we expect from a survey?

Typical deliverables include classified point clouds, DTM/DSM terrain models, orthomosaics, contours, and GIS/CAD-ready datasets aligned to your specification.

Which survey method is best for my project?

We select the most suitable platform based on area size, required accuracy, and site conditions. Options include drone, manned aircraft, mobile corridor mapping, and static site scanning.

How do you ensure data quality?

Our workflow includes calibration checks, trajectory refinement, strip adjustment, classification, and QA verification against project control to ensure reliable outputs.

How accurate is LiDAR and what controls it?

Accuracy depends on platform, flight height, speed, GNSS/IMU quality, ground control, and surface conditions. We confirm achievable accuracy during scoping and validate against control during QA.

What point density do I need?

Point density is driven by the smallest features you need to model and the required surface confidence. We recommend densities based on your design tolerances and intended outputs.

Can LiDAR see through vegetation?

LiDAR can penetrate gaps in vegetation, allowing ground points to be classified, but dense canopy reduces ground visibility. We plan flight parameters to improve ground returns where possible.

How do LiDAR and photogrammetry differ?

LiDAR measures distance directly and performs well in low‑texture areas and vegetation. Photogrammetry relies on image matching and works best on textured surfaces. We often combine both for best results.

What coordinate systems and datums do you support?

We deliver in the coordinate reference system required by your project, including local survey datums and national grids. We confirm the CRS during scoping to avoid any rework.

What file formats do you deliver?

Common formats include LAS/LAZ point clouds, GeoTIFF orthomosaics, DTM/DSM grids, CAD drawings, and GIS‑ready layers. We align outputs to your specification.

How long does processing take?

Turnaround depends on area size, density, and required deliverables. We provide a schedule during scoping and can phase deliveries for large projects.
