Construction & Earthwork Analysis
Atlas Mapping Solutions supports construction and development projects with repeatable, high-density aerial LiDAR acquisition and processing. Our datasets can support grading and earthwork analysis, progress monitoring, terrain comparison, construction documentation, and as-built workflows. RTK positioning with PPK backup processing provides consistent georeferencing between repeat flights, allowing project teams to track site changes throughout construction.
Grading & Earthwork Data: High-density terrain data supports cut/fill calculations, grading review, earthwork analysis, and change detection.
Progress Monitoring: Repeat acquisitions track stockpiles, excavations, and structural development.
Accuracy: Ground mapping accuracy is approximately 3–5 cm RMSE. Relative consistency between flights typically supports change detection near 1–2 cm.
Speed: Entire sites can often be captured in a single flight. Final datasets are typically delivered within 5–10 business days.
Deliverables: LAS/LAZ point clouds, DTMs/DSMs, orthomosaics, CAD/GIS-ready data, 3D terrain models, and QA/QC documentation.
LiDAR vs Traditional Survey: Conventional field collection captures discrete points, while LiDAR provides dense full-site coverage that can complement surveying and engineering workflows.
Applications: Construction progress, grading and earthwork workflows, excavation, demolition, terrain change, and as-built support.
