Aerial Laser Scanning
Aerial Laser Scanning
DPS uses advanced aerial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to capture high-resolution 3D data from the air. By mounting laser scanning systems on drones or aircraft, we can efficiently map large or inaccessible areas with exceptional accuracy.
How We Use It for 3D Laser Scanning
-
Data Capture at Scale – We collect millions of precise elevation points in a single flight, creating detailed digital terrain and surface models.
-
Integration with Digital Twins – Captured LiDAR data is processed into accurate 3D models, seamlessly integrated with our digital engineering workflows.
-
Remote & Hard-to-Reach Access – Perfect for surveying industrial plants, infrastructure, or terrain where ground-based scanning is impractical.
Benefits for Your Project
-
Speed & Efficiency – Reduce survey time from weeks to days.
-
High Accuracy – Achieve centimetre-level precision over wide areas.
-
Cost-Effective – Minimise labour, access challenges, and on-site disruptions.
-
Comprehensive Coverage – Capture both the visible and hidden features of a site.
Terrestrial Laser Scanning
DPS employs state-of-the-art terrestrial laser scanning to capture highly detailed 3D data from the ground. Using tripod-mounted laser scanners, we record millions of measurement points to create precise, full-scale digital models of industrial plants, infrastructure, and built environments.

Dimensional Control Survey
DPS provides precise dimensional control surveys to verify and document the exact spatial position of structures, equipment, and components. Using advanced laser measurement and total station technology, we ensure all elements align with design specifications, tolerances, and project requirements.
How We Use It
-
Alignment Verification – Check critical equipment, piping, and structures against design coordinates.
-
Construction Monitoring – Confirm accuracy during fabrication, installation, and assembly.
-
Integration with 3D Models – Feed accurate measurements directly into engineering and BIM workflows.
Benefits for Your Project
-
High Precision – Millimetre-level accuracy for quality assurance and compliance.
-
Reduced Rework – Identify deviations early to prevent costly corrections.
-
Improved Safety – Ensure structures are installed within tolerance to avoid operational risks.
-
Seamless Documentation – Maintain a verifiable record of as-built conditions.
Underground survey
DPS conducts advanced underground surveys using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and other subsurface detection technologies. This allows us to map utilities, pipelines, voids, and structural features beneath the surface without excavation.
How We Use It
-
Utility Mapping – Locate and measure underground pipes, cables, and ducts.
-
Subsurface Feature Detection – Identify voids, anomalies, and buried structures.
-
Pre-Construction Surveys – Reduce risks before excavation or tunnelling.
Benefits for Your Project
-
Risk Reduction – Prevent costly damage to underground utilities.
-
Accurate Data – Obtain reliable measurements for safe, efficient planning.
-
Time & Cost Savings – Avoid delays from unexpected subsurface conditions.
-
Non-Invasive Method – No digging or surface disturbance required.
