Surveying & Mapping Services

Turn terrain into truth

Licensed crews, LiDAR sensors, and drone photogrammetry measure your site once and answer questions about it for years.

Overview

Ground truth, delivered analysis-ready

Every model, map, and monitoring feed is only as good as the measurements underneath it. We put the right sensor on the right platform for your terrain, then hand you deliverables that load into CAD, GIS, and GeoGarmeux Atlas without a conversion step.

One team scopes, captures, processes, and delivers. You get a single point of accountability from the first control point to the final file — boundary and topographic surveys, corridor mapping, volumetrics, and site monitoring on a schedule you set.

Because GeoGarmeux Spatial Industries also builds the software and sources the satellite data, your survey doesn't end life as a PDF. It becomes a living layer your whole organization can query.

Field surveying

Control you can stake a project on

Licensed land surveyors run GNSS and total-station campaigns to establish control networks, boundaries, and as-builts. Every downstream dataset — aerial, satellite, or scanned — ties back to ground control your engineers and attorneys can rely on.

Boundary, topographic, and as-built surveys
Control networks for construction and monitoring
Stamped deliverables where jurisdictions require them

LiDAR

See the ground under the canopy

Aerial and terrestrial laser scanning captures millions of points per second and reaches bare earth where cameras can't. Corridors, forests, and complex structures come back as classified point clouds ready for terrain modeling and clearance analysis.

Aerial LiDAR for corridors and wide-area terrain
Terrestrial scanning for structures and plants
Classified point clouds with ground, vegetation, and structure returns

Drone & aerial photogrammetry

Fresh imagery on your schedule, not the market's

Drone and crewed-aircraft photogrammetry turns overlapping photos into orthomosaics, surface models, and 3D meshes. It's the fastest way to a current, measurable picture of an active site — and it repeats as often as the site changes.

Centimeter-grade orthomosaics and surface models
Stockpile volumetrics and progress tracking
Recurring capture programs for active sites

Deliverables

Files your tools open on the first try

Every engagement ends in formats your existing workflow already understands — and, if you use GeoGarmeux Atlas, as live layers your team can query the day we deliver.

Classified point clouds LAS/LAZ with ground, vegetation, and structure classes
DEMs, DTMs & DSMs bare-earth and surface elevation models at your target resolution
Orthomosaics georeferenced, color-balanced imagery ready for measurement
CAD/GIS-ready linework breaklines, planimetrics, and feature extraction in DWG or geodatabase
Contours & volumetrics contour sets and cut/fill or stockpile volume reports
3D meshes & digital twins textured reality meshes for design review and simulation
Control & accuracy reports documented control networks and accuracy statements
Live GeoGarmeux Atlas layers hosted, shareable layers your whole organization can query

How a project runs

Four steps from question to deliverable

Scope

We define the accuracy, coverage, and formats your decision actually needs — then pick the sensor and platform to match, not the other way around.
Capture

Licensed crews establish control and fly or walk the site. Weather windows, airspace, and access are our problem, not yours.
Process

Raw returns become classified, quality-checked datasets. Every product ties to ground control and ships with an accuracy statement.
Deliver

Files arrive in the formats you named in scoping — and as live layers in GeoGarmeux Atlas if you want them queryable from day one.

“Their crew flew our 14-mile corridor on a Tuesday and the classified point cloud was in our design software by Friday. We stopped arguing about the ground and started designing on it.”
