LiDAR Mapping for Industrial Rail Spur Extension Planning

Aerial view of an industrial facility and active rail line where LiDAR mapping supports 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 Large Timber and Hunting Properties

Drone using LiDAR technology to map the terrain beneath a dense pine forest on a large timber and hunting property

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 […]

Why Lidar Mapping Still Matters With Better Flood Alerts

Side-by-side comparison of a basic flood alert map and detailed lidar mapping showing land elevation and drainage patterns

Flood alerts have improved a lot. They update faster and cover more areas. They even help separate normal flooding from unusual events. That sounds helpful, and it is. But when it comes to understanding what’s happening on your actual property, lidar mapping still plays a big role. Still, there’s a catch. These alerts don’t show […]
