What is LiDAR?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances with exceptional accuracy. When mounted to a drone, LiDAR enables rapid data collection over large or hard-to-reach areas—generating dense, 3D point clouds and detailed terrain models.

Our aerial LiDAR surveying service—powered by the DJI Matrice 350 RTK and Zenmuse L1 sensor—provides high-resolution topographic data for engineering, planning, and design applications.

Why Choose LiDAR with Beveridge Williams?

• Centimetre-Level Accuracy
  Equipped with an integrated IMU, GNSS, and camera system, our LiDAR setup achieves survey-grade accuracy suitable for detailed engineering design.
• Time & Cost Efficiency
  Aerial LiDAR dramatically reduces field time compared to traditional survey methods, particularly on large, vegetated, or inaccessible sites.
• Effective in Challenging Conditions
  LiDAR technology can penetrate vegetation, including long grass and tree canopies, to accurately map ground surfaces—ideal for terrain that’s difficult or unsafe to access on foot.
• Detailed Topographic Outputs
  Deliverables include high-density point clouds, digital elevation models (DEMs), and contours—fully compatible with engineering and design software.
