LIDAR SURVEYS
Crows Nest Drone Solutions collects, processes and delivers aerial LiDAR for many use cases. Our sensors achieve accurate ground data through vegetation and will capture overhead lines such as power & distribution infrastructure.
LiDAR is the standard for precision data capture and Crows Nest has you covered.
Our heavy-lift UAV equipped with our compact LiDAR bundle delivers impressive data sets capturing LiDAR & photos simultaneously.
Drone LiDAR is perfect for projects from a few acres up to several square kilometers and for corridors up to 100 km in length.
Our LiDAR data specs are:
- Horizontal accuracy >5cm
- Vertical accuracy >4cm
- 2.5 km squared covered in a single flight
- Reduced costs compared to manned systems for small and medium size projects

APPLICATIONS
Customized solutions
Topo Surveys & Site Plans
The most common use for drone LiDAR is the reality capture to determine topography and create a site plan. The site could be a parcel of land for development, a facility expansion, road improvement, or a mine site.
Crows Nest will leverage the drone LiDAR to create contours and determine the location of features required on the topographic survey plan. Drone LiDAR complements traditional survey to create a more detailed and accurate site survey.
Energy & UtilitieS
Power-line engineers and operators are increasingly turning to drone LiDAR surveys to provide the reality capture required to repair, optimize and expand aging infrastructure to meet growing energy demands.
Drone LiDAR provides the precise location of poles, connectors, ground surface, obstructions, vegetation etc.
LiDAR assists maintenance crews in planning their trimming programs, operators can identify hazards and non-compliance issues, and engineers can precisely design rebuilds and new construction.

Forestry & Agriculture
Drone LiDAR assists Agronomists in improving cropland drainage and overall yields. It also helps when planning field improvements such as gravity-fed irrigation systems.
Forestry professionals use Drone LiDAR to count trees, determine species types and validate reforestation. LiDAR can also be used to plan right of ways for clear cutting sections of land and estimating lumber yield.
