Local Expertise
Our operations in Glasgow are managed by CAA GVC certified pilots with extensive experience in the Scotland area. We understand the specific airspace challenges of Glasgow, including local restricted zones and coordination requirements.
Standard photogrammetry cannot see through trees or thick vegetation, making it difficult to map true ground levels in forested or overgrown areas. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to penetrate the canopy, delivering accurate terrain data where other sensors fail.

LiDAR Point Cloud Surveys UK FAQ
It can capture ground levels through vegetation and is highly accurate over complex geometry.
We can achieve high densities suitable for professional terrain modelling.
For mapping terrain under trees, yes. For visual realism, photogrammetry is often preferred.
