Overview

LiDAR surveying captures large areas — road corridors, pipeline routes, industrial estates, mine sites — far faster than conventional topographic methods, producing dense, accurate terrain data even in vegetated environments.

We combine aerial LiDAR capture with terrestrial scanning where detail demands it, delivering seamless datasets that support route design, earthworks planning, flood modelling, and volumetric calculations across Nigeria's diverse terrain.

Deliverables integrate directly into civil design workflows: classified point clouds, digital terrain models, contour mapping, and volume reports formatted for Civil 3D and other design platforms.

What's Included

  • Aerial LiDAR for corridors and large sites
  • Terrestrial LiDAR for detailed infrastructure capture
  • Ground classification and vegetation filtering
  • Volumetric analysis for stockpiles and earthworks
  • Topographic mapping to survey specifications
  • Integration with national and project coordinate systems

LiDAR Surveying — Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use LiDAR instead of terrestrial laser scanning?
LiDAR (typically aerial) suits large areas and long corridors — roads, pipelines, sites of many hectares — where terrestrial scanning would be slow. Terrestrial scanning suits buildings and plants where millimetre detail matters. Many projects combine both, and we advise on the right mix during scoping.
Can LiDAR capture ground level under vegetation?
Yes. LiDAR pulses penetrate gaps in vegetation canopy, and ground classification processing separates terrain returns from vegetation, producing a bare-earth model even in bushy or forested areas common across Nigeria.
What accuracy can LiDAR surveys achieve?
Aerial LiDAR typically achieves vertical accuracy of 5–15cm depending on flight parameters and ground control; terrestrial LiDAR achieves millimetre-to-centimetre accuracy. We design the capture method around the accuracy your project specification requires.
