Mapping natural sites

We provide reliable and accurate mapping of natural sites in complex environments and inaccessible areas.

Our unique ‘oblique + nadir’ approach, made possible by the expertise of our teams and our LiDAR and helicopter-borne photo technology, enables us to conduct high-resolution surveys that minimize shadow zones and distortion.

Our solutions

LiDAR surveys of natural sites

LiDAR and photo technology for small, medium and large natural sites
Pentacam acquisition for photorealistic rendering
Additional thermal and infrared surveys

Tailor-made 3D modelling and analysis

LiDAR and photogrammetric point clouds

Detailed mapping in two and three dimensions
Analysis and reports

Our advantages

Over 15 years’ experience of surveying mountains, valleys and glaciers
Our modular acquisition system enables us to carry out vertical or oblique surveys, with flexible installation on a variety of aerial and terrestrial platforms.
Oblique helicopter surveys to avoid shadows and distortion
LiDAR technology allowing to measure under the vegetation
