Unlock the Power of LiDAR with Lite Wing Aerial Drone Services
What is LiDAR?
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method used to detect objects in real space with a high level of precision and accuracy. In the UAV LiDAR process, a drone flies over a specified area sending out laser pulses onto a surface at a rate of 100k-3 million pulses per second. After measuring the time it takes for the signal to return, LiDAR Data is electronically compiled with GPS data and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data to create a digital representation of the scanned area in a point file format used by professional surveyors to create a great number of deliverables for their clients.
Drones vs. Planes
Lidar is a technology that captures detailed 3-D data of an area. It is highly accurate and can capture data in a variety of weather conditions, and save you a significant amount of time and money.
How We Use It:
Lite Wing specializes in integrating drone data into various software platforms for enhanced construction project management to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness.Lite Wing offers a wide range of drone services for the construction industry, with a focus on monitoring, planning, and inspections. Our 3D site models and orthophotos provide a comprehensive view of the construction progress, enabling clash detection and plan-to-actual verification. By conducting regular autonomous flights, we provide a record of the project, enabling better monitoring, planning, and inspections. Our expertise in drone technology can help you save time and money, and improve your bottom line. By integrating 3D construction site models with BIM software such as Autodesk Revit and Navisworks, drones can act as a valuable tool for clash detection, plan-to-actual verification, and monitoring of large warehouse construction projects.
This technology gives project managers a comprehensive view of the entire construction site, particularly on large warehouse projects. This helps to prevent costly delays and slowdowns by providing a documented record of the project's progress. Let us put our drone services to work for your construction projects and enhance the value and efficiency of your projects.
Here's how LiDAR can help your project:
Density Measurement
LiDAR-equipped drones can access ground surfaces hidden by foliage and plants by flying through small openings, making it easier to gather data that is challenging to obtain through traditional methods. This capability is particularly beneficial for industries such as agriculture, forestry, surveying, and land management/development.
Elevation Modeling
Our licensed professionals use LiDAR data to generate high-precision 3D models, providing information not attainable through traditional methods. Examples include identifying low points in farmland for irrigation planning. LiDAR is valuable for industries such as land management, agriculture, civil engineering, and construction.
Detailed Detection
LiDAR-equipped drones have the ability to fly low and access ground surfaces obscured by heavy vegetation, making it possible to gather precise locational data. This feature is particularly beneficial for industries such as archaeology, forestry, land development, and energy and utilities.
Environmental & Coastal Restoration
LiDAR technology provides crucial information that assists our licensed professionals in safeguarding and revitalizing delicate coastlines. Regular flights over a specific area allow for the detection and monitoring of erosion patterns, coastline changes, and other alterations over time, which can then be managed effectively.
Right of Way Encroachment (ROW) & Utility Corridor Planning
LiDAR enables licensed professionals to acquire highly detailed elevation data, assisting in terrain mapping for utility and construction project planning. Additionally, through ongoing ROW encroachment monitoring, it can reveal tree canopies that pose a risk to transmission lines, enabling asset managers to promptly identify and address crucial service requirements.
Volumetrics
LiDAR drone technology facilitates the collection of data that allows licensed professionals to determine the volume of an area. This is useful in industries such as mining, aggregate stockpile measurement, dredging, landfills, industrial sites, or any location where volume measurement is crucial.
