Remote sensing
& reality capture

Cutting-edge collection across Western Canada — high-resolution geospatial data for rugged and remote terrain, delivered with speed, safety, and precision.

Capture Methods

Four ways we capture your site

Each method has a job it does best. We'll recommend the one — or the combination — that gets you the accuracy you need for the budget you have.

Airborne LiDAR

Laser scanning that penetrates vegetation and maps both natural and built environments — ideal for Western Canada's diverse terrain and for corridors that are slow or unsafe to walk.

  • Centimetre-level vertical accuracy
  • Classified point clouds, DTM and DSM
  • Transmission & distribution corridors
  • Transport Canada RPAS compliant operations

Aerial Imagery

High-resolution orthomosaics and oblique imagery for progress documentation, planning, and public-facing communication — captured on the same flight as your LiDAR where it makes sense.

  • Georeferenced orthomosaics
  • Progress and milestone documentation
  • Photogrammetric surface models
  • Oblique and site-context imagery

Bathymetric Surveys

Underwater terrain mapping for reservoirs, ponds, and waterways — supporting storage-capacity reporting, sediment management, and regulatory submissions.

  • Reservoir capacity & sediment studies
  • Pond and settling basin volumes
  • Waterway and shoreline mapping
  • Integrated above/below water models

High-Definition Laser Scanning

Terrestrial scanning for as-builts, facility capture, and retrofit engineering — millimetre-level detail where design tolerances are tight and existing conditions are uncertain.

  • Facility and plant as-builts
  • Retrofit and clash-detection support
  • Structural and heritage documentation
  • Registered point clouds & 2D/3D deliverables

Why Remote Sensing

More data, less exposure


Remote sensing covers ground that traditional field methods can't reach safely or economically — and it captures far more of it in the same window.

  • High accuracy — centimetre-level precision, traceable to control
  • Rapid deployment — large and inaccessible areas covered in days, not weeks
  • Vegetation penetration — LiDAR maps ground beneath dense canopy
  • Safety — reduces on-ground exposure in hazardous terrain
  • Cost efficiency — minimizes field time, maximizes data
  • Repeatability — consistent capture for period-over-period comparison
