An Aerial Perspective

Nothing beats an aerial perspective when it comes to getting a comprehensive overview of infrastructure projects.

PEC+ offers full-service drone mapping and data analysis for unparalleled site reconnaissance and project planning advantages. Our Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) offer a faster, safer, and more cost-effective approach to gathering precise spatial data for a variety of projects.

FAA-certified pilots and sensors specialists

Our FAA-certified pilots and sensors specialists use cutting-edge UAV LiDAR technologies paired with sophisticated imaging sensors to capture highly precise orthomosaic images, 3D digital surface models, and data-rich point clouds.

We process and integrate all imagery into customizable GIS mapping deliverables, including detailed topographic surveys, volumetric calculations, high-resolution visuals of landscape features, contour models, vegetation analyses, and more. The project insights derived from PEC+'s Aerial Services enable smarter design, construction, and operation decisions.

LIDAR DRONE

LiDAR stands for light detection and ranging. This technology sends out hundreds of thousands of pulses per second to map topological differences relative to each other, contributing to a very high degree of relative accuracy.

With PEC+’s LiDAR drone, we can perform the following tasks with survey-grade precision:

Survey and monitor ground elevation changes and the impact on field assets such as substations, towers and wind turbine;
Build bare earth topographic models of flood-prone areas to increase the accuracy of risk assessments and improve emergency planning; and
Create 3D models that measure density, volume, and elevation.
