LiDAR Mapping
Turn Accurate Site Data Into Actionable 3D Intelligence
Surveying an area prior to development helps you understand what is possible for a project. Enlist our experts to collect the electronic data required to complete your land management projects and facility planning with precision.
About Our LiDAR Mapping Services
We offer LiDAR services exclusively for above-ground structures. LiDAR technology measures elevation information by targeting light onto surfaces. An optical laser fires a signal toward your facility or above-ground structure — once a signal is sent back, the equipment learns the intricacies of the structure or facility.
Altamira relies on LiDAR technology to generate 3D renderings. Our professionals use state-of-the-art LiDAR equipment to provide you with data on an efficient timeline. We’ll provide you with a detailed report of our findings so that you can continue with your project and complete tasks by the deadline.
Industries We Serve for LiDAR Mapping Services
At Altamira, we stand out from competing LiDAR survey companies by offering services to several industries. Our representatives will elaborate on our LiDAR service capabilities for:
- Oil and gas: Use our LiDAR services to complete small- and large-scale natural gas projects

Frequently Asked Questions About LiDAR Mapping

LiDAR is preferred when you need to cover large areas efficiently, access terrain that is difficult or unsafe for ground crews, capture dense three-dimensional data for analysis or minimize field time while maximizing data coverage. For linear infrastructure like pipelines, LiDAR significantly reduces survey costs while delivering richer spatial datasets than traditional methods.
Altamira delivers LiDAR point cloud datasets, digital elevation models (DEMs), digital terrain models (DTMs), contour maps orthomosaic imagery, slope and aspect analysis and GIS-ready spatial layers. Deliverables are formatted to meet project specifications and integrate directly with GIS platforms and engineering design software.
Airborne LiDAR typically achieves vertical accuracy of 5 to 15 centimeters and horizontal accuracy of 15 to 30 centimeters, depending on flight parameters and ground control. Mobile ground-based LiDAR can achieve millimeter-level accuracy. For most pipeline corridor and environmental applications, LiDAR accuracy meets or exceeds project requirements at a fraction of the cost of conventional survey.
LiDAR mapping is used in the energy industry for pipeline corridor surveys, right-of-way mapping, slope stability analysis, floodplain delineation, vegetation encroachment monitoring, facility as-built surveys and corridor comparison for new route selection. It provides high-accuracy geospatial data faster and safer than traditional ground survey methods.
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to measure distances and generate highly accurate three-dimensional point clouds of terrain, structures and vegetation. The data is processed into digital elevation models, surface models and engineering deliverables used for design, inspection and environmental assessment.
Altamira’s point cloud mapping technology and sensors are meticulous. We offer detailed 3D renderings that show you everything from individual trees and people to large hills and sinkholes present in your location.
