Services
LiDAR Scanning
Our LiDAR technology captures precise spatial data using laser pulses, creating detailed 3D models of terrain and structures. This enables efficient infrastructure planning and asset management for utilities, transportation, and environmental projects. The system's ability to penetrate forest canopies provides unique advantages for challenging environments.
GIS Mapping
We develop comprehensive GIS databases that visualize spatial relationships and patterns for urban planning and resource management. Our solutions include reference maps, thematic maps, and specialized navigational charts that support decision-making across multiple industries. Data integration ensures compatibility with existing workflows.
Architecture
Our architectural practice focuses on functional design solutions for commercial, residential, and institutional buildings. We combine technical expertise with creative problem-solving to deliver projects that meet regulatory requirements while optimizing space utilization and aesthetic appeal for clients across Arkansas.
Asset Management
We create detailed asset inventories using vehicle-mounted LiDAR systems that collect survey-grade data at roadway speeds. This approach minimizes traffic disruption while providing comprehensive records for utility networks, transportation infrastructure, and municipal assets that support maintenance planning and regulatory compliance.
Stockpile Inventory
Our LiDAR-derived surface models enable precise volumetric calculations for mining and aggregate operations. By comparing historical base surfaces with current ground conditions, we provide accurate stockpile measurements that support inventory management and operational planning for material handling businesses.
