The platforms behind every deliverable.

Survey-grade output is a chain — aircraft, sensors, processing, and extraction. These are the hardware and software partners we've standardized on so clients get accuracy they can defend and files they can open on day one.

Photogrammetry & reality capture

Pix4D

Pix4D is a global leader in photogrammetry and reality capture, providing a suite of software solutions that have become essential for our advanced mapping operations. We leverage Pix4Dmatic for processing massive datasets with survey-grade accuracy, allowing us to handle large-scale projects without sacrificing precision or speed. Pix4Dsurvey takes our workflow further by streamlining the extraction of vector data from point clouds, making it easy to transition from raw imagery to CAD-ready deliverables.

With Pix4Dcloud, our team and clients can collaborate in real time, review 3D models and maps from anywhere, and maintain a single always-accessible source of truth for project data. Pix4Dcatch lets us capture detailed, georeferenced 3D models directly from mobile devices, expanding our capabilities for ground-based and utility mapping with centimeter-level accuracy. By building our workflows around Pix4D's technology, we deliver faster turnarounds, higher-quality results, and greater value on every project.

Smart drone surveying software

Virtual Surveyor

Virtual Surveyor is purpose-built smart drone surveying software, and we've partnered with the platform to bring true survey-grade processing in house. Rather than leaning on generic photogrammetry tools alone, we run every drone and LiDAR dataset through the integrated Terrain Creator engine, converting raw imagery and point clouds into orthomosaics, digital surface models, and bare-earth terrains without the delays or added cost of third-party software.

From there our team builds the deliverables clients actually design around: TINs and surfaces, contour lines, breaklines, cross sections, and cut/fill volumetrics — all generated inside an interactive virtual terrain environment that lets us verify accuracy against ground control before anything leaves our hands. Stockpile and volume reporting tools deliver fast, reliable quantities for progress tracking, while design-versus-as-built comparison shows project managers exactly how a site has changed over time. Every output exports directly into AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and other industry-standard CAD platforms.

Cloud LiDAR processing

LiDARMill Cloud

LiDARMill Cloud, developed by Phoenix LiDAR Systems, is the processing platform we use to turn raw LiDAR data into survey-ready deliverables without the delays of desktop-bound software. Every mission moves through LiDARMill's cloud pipeline, where NavLab trajectory processing, automated strip alignment, and ground classification run without tying up a workstation.

From there LiDARMill generates the products clients depend on: digital terrain models, digital surface models, canopy height models, contours, and classified point clouds in LAS and LAZ, exported in LandXML and other industry-standard CAD formats. Every project includes a built-in Cloud Viewer, giving clients a shareable web-based way to explore their point cloud and pull their own deliverables, along with a full QC report documenting accuracy against ground control. Because it's cloud native, it scales with the size of the job rather than the size of a computer — a two-acre site or a multi-mile utility corridor, same turnaround, same accuracy standards.

Point cloud feature extraction

TopoDOT

TopoDOT is an industry-leading platform purpose-built for extracting actionable information from point cloud and LiDAR data, making it an essential part of our geospatial workflow. It's recognized for powerful breakline extraction, feature identification, and rapid conversion of complex point clouds into engineering-ready CAD deliverables. Its toolsets let us efficiently process massive datasets, automate repetitive tasks, and generate precise breaklines, surface models, and asset inventories that meet the exacting standards of civil engineering and transportation projects.

We use TopoDOT to transform raw LiDAR into structured outputs supporting everything from corridor mapping and roadway design to utility planning and site development. Seamless integration with MicroStation and AutoCAD means clients receive deliverables that fit directly into their existing project environments without time-consuming conversions or data loss. The result is more than dense point clouds — it's clean, actionable data that accelerates design workflows and reduces manual drafting.
