LiDAR & Remote Sensing
W&A Engineering utilizes the latest drone surveying technology to provide LiDAR scanning services throughout the Southeast. Having access to accurate point cloud data can be invaluable assets throughout the planning, design, and execution phases of any construction project. Our expert staff provides precise data capture, data analysis and custom deliverables tailored to each client, which allows them to successfully complete their most complex projects without the concern of unknown barriers and unexpected challenges.
Capable of capturing 500+ acres of survey-grade LiDAR data daily, our technicians deploy survey-grade LiDAR scanners that collect highly accurate point cloud data. For each project, our team generates an accuracy report for our clients by comparing traditional survey data to the LiDAR point cloud to ensure our clients receive accurate data. Our team has extensive experience working with licenses engineers and surveying professionals to provide custom deliverables with exactly the data they need delivered in detailed, yet easy to understand reports and deliverables. Our clients can expect industry-leading data capture, data processing, and data delivery made possible by our cutting-edge LiDAR and drone equipment, terrestrial laser scanners, and decades of industry experience.
Surveying
Our technicians utilize advanced aerial and terrestrial LiDAR scanners capable of collecting highly accurate survey-grade data. Deliverables include:
- Topographic Contours
- Ground classified point cloud or point grid
- Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
- Cut & Fill Calculations
- Volumetric Surveys for Stockpiles and Earthworks
- Custom Accuracy Reports tailored for each project
- Advanced point cloud extraction of buildings, vegetation and more
Planimetrics
Our CAD drafting process provides highly accurate planimetric deliverables.
- DWG or DXF formats
- Linework drafting from conventional survey data
- Planimetrics from aerial or terrestrial LiDAR point clouds
- Planimetrics from Orthomosaic
Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)
W&A Engineering provides survey-grade terrestrial laser scanning services enabling the capture of highly detailed and accurate point cloud data.
W&A Engineering creates custom point cloud deliverables with our terrestrial laser scanners used for:
- Topographic Surveys
- Volumetric Surveys
- As-Built Surveys
- Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)
- Building Information Modeling (BIM)
- Historical Building Documentation
- Building/Structure Monitoring
Photogrammetry
With the use of industry-leading software, the W&A team provides our clients with a wide range of deliverables from our survey-grade photogrammetry data.
Our photogrammetry data can be used in many ways such as:
- Topographic Surveying
- Planimetric Surveying
- Measuring distances and creating area calculations
- Volumetric Surveying
- Monitoring construction projects
Types of Deliverables:
- Planimetrics / Linework
- Topographic Contours
- Orthomosaic Map
- 3D Colorized Point Cloud
- Ground classified point cloud or point grid
- Customized Project Accuracy Report
360° Imaging
W&A Engineering also creates 360 virtual walkthroughs for our clients using 360 camera technology. This allows for capture of each step of the project to coordinate planning and visualize site progress. It also allows our clients to conduct visual inspections of their site while remaining out of harm’s way. The 360 data collected by W&A can be used alongside aerial orthomosaic maps for complete site documentation.
360 data increases safety and allows our clients to catch issues during projects rather than having to perform costly rework.
