When it comes to land surveying and site planning, precision is everything. Whether you're developing land, planning infrastructure, or analyzing large properties, traditional surveying methods can be slow, expensive, and prone to errors. That’s where LiDAR mapping comes in — a cutting-edge solution that delivers fast, accurate data from above.

What Is LiDAR Mapping?

LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It uses laser pulses from an airborne drone to measure distances to the ground, creating high-resolution 3D maps and elevation models. These data-rich maps allow construction firms, surveyors, and land developers to get a clear and precise view of terrain — even through vegetation.

How SkyHound Uses Drone LiDAR Technology

At SkyHound, we combine drone mobility with advanced LiDAR sensors to scan large areas quickly and accurately. Our LiDAR mapping process includes:

‍

• Site Planning: We evaluate your property and determine flight parameters based on your goals.
  
  
• Aerial Data Capture: Our FAA-licensed pilots collect LiDAR data with millimeter-level accuracy.
  
  
• Data Processing: We generate 3D point clouds, contour maps, and elevation models tailored to your project.
  
  
• Actionable Deliverables: Receive CAD-ready files, digital terrain models (DTMs), and georeferenced maps compatible with GIS and engineering software.
