LiDAR Mapping for Industrial Rail Spur Extension Planning
An industrial site that wants to add a rail spur has to start with good data. Before an engineer can compare routes, or a railroad can review a tie-in request, someone needs a clear picture of what is already on the ground. That is where lidar mapping comes in. It captures the current surface conditions […]
Drone LiDAR Mapping for Quarry and Stockpile Volume Measurements
Quarries and aggregate yards hold large amounts of rock, sand and soil. Operators need a way to measure how much material sits in each pile. Drone LiDAR mapping is one method that answers that question. LiDAR stands for light detection and ranging. The sensor fires laser pulses from the air and records where each pulse […]

A hunting club in the Black Belt once spent a weekend looking for a corner pin swallowed by thirty years of pine growth. Two men, two machetes, a metal detector. They never found it. A drone flew the same tract two weeks later and had a shortlist of likely spots before the truck was back […]
