Aerial LiDAR Survey
Actionable insights from data to spec, on time and within budget
Make informed decisions faster with data you can rely on
Decisions are critical when managing your environment and when you’re planning, designing, constructing and maintaining your major assets. Tasks are highly sequential and therefore time sensitive. The absence or delay of the right data at the right time impacts the quality of your decision making. Poor decisions can be costly to undo, or even irreversible.
AAM’s Aerial LiDAR surveying delivers data in a matter of days so you can avoid costly delays and act fast when it’s needed.
Our expertise ensures that your data is fit for purpose. Higher accuracy isn’t always better, you need just enough of the right type of data to make informed decisions. Too little data, and your knowledge is incomplete. Too much data and you are overwhelmed. We help you determine the right type and accuracy of your LiDAR data so you get your desired outcomes.

“Gail Kelly’s thoroughness in understanding what we [Ergon Energy] needed was fantastic. Gail took the time to understand what we wanted for our end result, which meant she could craft a solution that met our immediate needs. But she also showed us how our LiDAR data could be used for other purposes in the future, which was invaluable.”

Clients who use AAM's Aerial LiDAR surveying
Creating usable insights
Sometimes your LiDAR survey dataset is so large and complex it’s hard to decipher. Or perhaps the survey technologies used to capture your data failed to deliver information you could actually use. Making critical decisions is difficult when you don’t understand your data or how to derive actionable insights from it.
We can help you to understand the what, why, when and how of the LiDAR technology and survey method used to capture and deliver your data. This knowledge allows you to properly assess our recommendations. Together, we can find the optimal solution to solve your problem.
AAM’s Aerial LiDAR survey delivers data that you can understand, so you can make more informed decisions fast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Three key questions can be asked to determine the cost of a project.
- Where is the location of your project?
- What level of accuracy do you need?
- How are you using the data?
Many factors need to be considered when answering these questions, all have an effect on price, including:
- Location (further flights, higher costs)
- Total area being surveyed
- Image accuracy (lower and slower flights needed for higher accuracy)
- Type of data
- Level of automation (more manual labour, higher costs)
- Other complications e.g. weather, deadline for data, scheduling
Like any flight, our departure times depend on the weather.
We must also factor in our current pipeline of work and equipment availability. But if you need your data urgently, we have different options to meet your need. Talk to us about your project and we’ll work out a solution.
With our efficient LiDAR processing system, you can get your data quickly . Most projects take a few weeks to a few months depending on how much data there is, and how many servers are needed to process the data. We can put more servers on the job if you need the data urgently.
With UAV LiDAR, we can get up to 2000 points per square meter of resolution. With fixed-wing LiDAR we can get about 1-50 points per square meter of resolution, with an accuracy of <10cm. But your project might not need all the data we can get. The level of resolution and accuracy needed depends on the problem you need to solve and how you plan to use your LiDAR data.
We can supply these formats:
TIFF, ECW, RAW (full list coming)
We can translate the data to any format so if your required format is not listed here, get in touch. We can probably deliver in the format you need.
When deciding on whether UAV/drone technology is needed for a project, we consider the location, the size of the area being surveyed, and the resolution required. Some projects don’t need the type of clarity achieved through UAV. Some projects benefit with fixed-wing AND drone LiDAR. What we recommend, depends on the problem and the result you need.
Yes! Geocirrus (link to store) is our catalogue of premium geospatial data. In addition to LiDAR data we have aerial imagery, 3D models and mesh.
We supply the data under AAM’s license or to our clients’ IP.
Once our clients have received and accepted our priced proposal for their project, we initiate a formal project handover. A dedicated project manager talks to our client to clarify that both sides understand the aim and scope of the project. We schedule the appropriate aircraft and sensor to start gathering data, whilst sending regular updates to our clients as each major milestone is reached. Once all the data is captured we send it to our processing team. We process and translate the data into our client’s preferred format, then deliver it via a cloud-based platform or hard disk drive.

How Does LiDAR surveying work?
Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses drone technology and laser scanners to measure the height of discrete points in the landscape below the aircraft. The scanner records the time difference between the emission of the laser pulse and the reception of the reflected signal back from the surface below.
As an aerial survey, LiDAR can capture data for hundreds of square kilometres in a day with a height accuracy down to +/- 10cm. When mounted on ground vehicles and tripods it produces traditional ground surveys with greater accuracy. It can penetrate dense canopy and combine with other technology to capture vegetation around critical assets.
AAM LiDAR surveying delivers accurate terrain data sets to assist with:
- Planning and design of projects
- Maintenance of assets (powerlines, towers and buildings)
- Project compliance (as-built constructions for interior and exteriors, pits and stockpiles)
