LiDAR Processing & Point Cloud Classification
Unclassified LiDAR is only as good as the processing behind it. Don't let massive point clouds tie up your high-cost engineering workstations — we act as your dedicated geospatial back-office, turning raw spatial scans into clean, structured terrain models and 3D surface assets.
Ground filtering & bare-earth extraction
Algorithmic and manual classification to remove vegetation, structures, vehicles, and noise from complex terrain.
Feature & infrastructure classification
Categorization of buildings, powerlines, utility poles, bridge decks, and dense canopy.
DTM & DSM generation
Precision surface modeling — digital terrain and surface models built for civil design and hydrological analysis.
3D mesh & structure modeling
High-density spatial meshes for structural visualization, slope stability, and volume assessment.
Supported output formats
| Point clouds | .LAS · .LAZ · .E57 · .XYZ · .RCP |

Drone Photogrammetry & Mapping Data Processing
You fly, we process. Flying the drone is only half the battle: processing millions of pixels, aligning ground control, and extracting vector features takes serious compute and specialized spatial expertise. We handle the heavy digital lift so your team delivers faster.
High-resolution orthomosaic mapping
Seamless, color-corrected, orthorectified imagery tied to your local coordinate system — true-scale, with zero perspective distortion. Repeat-flight processing tracks site progress with pixel-level alignment.
Topographic & contour mapping
Custom contour intervals (0.5 ft, 1 ft, or metric) optimized for Civil 3D and MicroStation, over bare-earth DTMs. Breaklines drafted at ridges, valleys, retaining walls, and curb lines to keep the surface honest.
Planimetric feature extraction
Manholes, catch basins, utility poles, signage, valve covers, building footprints, pavement edges, driveways, curbs, gutters, fences, tree canopy, and water-body edges — digitized into layered CAD vectors.
Volumetric & stockpile analysis
Cut/fill heatmaps against design grades or prior flights, stockpile tonnage without putting crews in hazardous zones, and high-density surface tracking for mining faces and embankments.
Deliverable formats
| Orthomosaic & raster | GeoTIFF · .ECW · high-res .JPEG / .PNG |

| Volumetric audits | .PDF reports with 3D cross-sections |
We validate check shots, inspect tie points, and verify breaklines rather than pushing buttons on automated software. Standard datasets sent at the end of your workday are processed and delivered the next morning.

Land Survey CAD Drafting
We transform raw field collector files, total-station observations, GPS data, and historical deeds into clean, layer-standardized 2D and 3D survey plans.
ALTA/NSPS survey drafting
Plats drafted from your field data: legal boundaries, easements, rights-of-way, structural encroachments, setback lines, utility locations, and the Table A items your surveyor specifies.
Topographic & boundary drafting
High-accuracy contour mapping, breakline processing, spot elevation plotting, and property boundary line resolution.
As-built & existing conditions
Post-construction validation drawings comparing completed civil infrastructure against the original design.
Subdivision & lot split plats
Boundary breakdown, right-of-way dedication, easement mapping, and individual lot layouts for municipal approval.
Utility & easement mapping
Overhead and underground utility tracing, ROW lines, and easement strips tied to legal descriptions.
Software proficiency

Send us your template (.dwt), style sheets, and symbol libraries and the deliverables come back matched to your CAD standards. We work in description keys, survey codes, feature line connections, and raw coordinate formats.
Land Development Design
From raw acreage to shovel-ready civil plans — complete site engineering layout and drafting support for civil engineers and land developers.
Site layout & master planning
Building footprints, parking layouts, access roads, curb radii, and pedestrian access routes.
Grading & drainage design
Proposed surface modeling, 3D grading plans, swale alignment, retention/detention pond design, and slope analysis.
Earthwork & volume calculations
Cut/fill quantity reports, existing vs. proposed surface comparisons, and mass haul diagrams to minimize site prep cost.
Utility infrastructure design
Stormwater network modeling, sanitary sewer collection layout, water main distribution, and utility profiles.
Roadway & pavement design
Horizontal and vertical alignment, cross-sections, plan and profile sheets, and intersection details.
Every sheet passes a QA/QC review by a senior CAD operator checking boundary closure, dimensioning, text placement, and sheet formatting before delivery.
