Survey-Grade LiDAR by SkyFleet Solutions

SkyFleet Solutions delivers high-accuracy drone LiDAR designed for mapping and modeling in real world conditions including heavy vegetation, tall grass, wooded areas, and uneven ground. Our LiDAR data is built for engineers, surveyors, and utilities that need reliable ground data, not just pretty point clouds.

On soft and vegetated surfaces, our LiDAR consistently achieves ±0.10 ft (one-tenth of a foot) vertical accuracy.

What Is LiDAR?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses emitted from a drone to measure the earth’s surface. Millions of laser shots are sent toward the ground every second, and the time it takes for each pulse to return is used to calculate extremely precise 3D coordinates.

Unlike cameras, LiDAR penetrates vegetation, allowing it to capture the true ground surface beneath trees, brush, and tall grass.

Built for Vegetation and Real Terrain

Traditional aerial mapping struggles in wooded areas and overgrown sites. SkyFleet’s drone LiDAR is designed specifically to see through dense vegetation and map the ground below.

Our systems capture multiple returns per laser pulse, allowing us to separate:

  • Ground

  • Low vegetation

  • Brush

  • Trees

  • Structures

This gives engineers a true bare-earth model, even in areas where the ground is completely hidden from view.

One-Tenth-Foot Accuracy on Soft Surfaces

LiDAR excels where photogrammetry cannot on dirt, gravel, grass, slopes, and natural terrain.

SkyFleet’s LiDAR workflows routinely deliver ±0.10 ft vertical accuracy on:

  • Fields

  • Road corridors

  • Ditches and drainage

  • Creek banks

  • Construction sites

  • Forested land

This makes our data reliable for grading, drainage design, earthwork, and volumetric analysis.

Survey-Grade Processing & QA/QC

SkyFleet doesn’t just fly LiDAR we engineer it.

Every dataset is processed and reviewed by experienced LiDAR specialists who:

  • Classify ground and non-ground points

  • Remove noise and outliers

  • Validate accuracy against control

  • Ensure clean, consistent surfaces

This guarantees the final product meets professional engineering and surveying standards.

CAD-Ready Surfaces from LiDAR

We deliver clean, usable CAD surfaces created directly from LiDAR ground points. These drop straight into:

  • Civil 3D

  • MicroStation

  • OpenRoads

Deliverables include:

  • Bare-earth TIN surfaces

  • Breaklines

  • Contours

  • Classified point clouds

  • Engineering-ready files

No extra cleanup. No unusable data.

Custom LiDAR Workflows

Every project is different. SkyFleet customizes:

  • Point classifications

  • Surface density

  • Contours

  • File formats

  • Coordinate systems

to match your exact design, survey, or utility workflow.

LiDAR Built for Real-World Conditions

SkyFleet Solutions combines high-performance drone LiDAR, professional processing, and strict quality control to deliver accurate ground data in places other methods fail.

This is LiDAR designed for:

  • Vegetation

  • Terrain

  • Corridors

  • Infrastructure

  • Real engineering work
