LiDAR Sensing Solutions

KPA Drone Technologies

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, uses laser light to map real-world environments. At KPA Engineers, we utilize the DJI Matrice 300 RTK integrated with the Zenmuse L1 LiDAR sensor.

With LiDAR, information can be gathered under an assortment of conditions, including low sun edge, dark skies, and even haziness, meaning extended windows for information accumulation. The L1 LiDAR System forms a complete solution that gives real-time 3D data, efficiently capturing the details of complex structures and delivering highly accurate reconstructed models.

We utilize the advantages of these systems for our client’s project needs by providing:

  • Land & Elevation Modeling
  • Floodplain Analysis
  • Stormwater Management
  • Water Supply & Quality Monitoring
  • Geographic Information System (GIS) Mapping

LiDAR allows us to take measurements from the point cloud, making it possible to get an exact measurement of features such as roadway widths, lane markings, bridge heights, pole lengths, and all other features without having to go on site.

The L1 LiDAR System allows us to boost the efficiency of data collection by quickly creating reality models that include plots and generate orthomosaics,  photos comprised of hundreds of smaller overlapping images, in real-

time so our team can immediately visualize land cover and identify any changes. We map large work sites to acquire detailed and precise data, allowing our team to optimize their project planning and design efforts.

How do our Clients Benefit?

LiDAR allows us to cut the costs of surveying and expedite data collection, allowing our clients to save time and money. We can quickly certify the data collected and incorporate that mapping into final civil engineering designs while progressing client projects forward effectively and efficiently.

We take advantage of the latest technologies and are proud to continue enhancing our client experiences by providing accurate and advanced project development.
