Survey-Grade Drone LiDAR Mapping Across West Virginia

​

SKYMAPTEK provides survey-grade UAV LiDAR mapping services throughout West Virginia for engineering, surveying, land development, construction, mining, and infrastructure projects.

​

Using professional drone LiDAR systems combined with RTK/PPK positioning workflows, we deliver highly accurate geospatial datasets capable of supporting topographic mapping, terrain modeling, earthwork analysis, stockpile calculations, vegetation penetration mapping, and progress monitoring.

​

Our services are designed to support engineers, surveyors, developers, contractors, municipalities, and industrial clients requiring fast, high-resolution mapping data over sites that are difficult, dangerous, or time-consuming to survey conventionally.

UAV LiDAR Services in West Virginia

​

LiDAR Topographic Mapping

​

Generate detailed terrain models, contours, and elevation data for:

​

• Land development

• Site planning

• Grading design

• Stormwater design

• Utility planning

• Corridor mapping

• Mining and reclamation

• Bare Earth Mapping Through Vegetation

​

LiDAR technology allows ground surface extraction beneath trees and vegetation where traditional photogrammetry often struggles.

​

This makes UAV LiDAR especially valuable for:

​

• Heavily wooded properties

• Mountainous terrain

• Stream corridors

• Utility routes

• Mine subsidence investigations

• Rural development projects

​

Earthwork & Stockpile Analysis

 

Monitor material movement and calculate:

​

• Cut & fill quantities

• Stockpile volumes

• Surface change comparisons

• Construction progress

• Excavation tracking

​

3D Point Clouds & CAD Deliverables

 

Deliverables may include:

​

• LAS/LAZ point clouds

• DEM/DTM surfaces

• Contours

• Orthophotos

• Breaklines

• 3D planimetric CAD linework

• SHP files

• Civil 3D compatible deliverables

• DWG exports

​

Why UAV LiDAR Instead of Traditional Methods?

 

Drone LiDAR mapping can significantly reduce field time while collecting millions of elevation points across large areas.

Advantages may include:

​

• Faster site coverage

• Improved access to steep or hazardous terrain

• Vegetation penetration capability

• High point density

• Repeatable monitoring flights

• Rapid turnaround times

• Reduced field labor exposure

​

For many development, mining, and infrastructure projects, UAV LiDAR provides a level of terrain detail that is difficult to achieve efficiently using traditional methods alone.

​

​

Survey-Grade Accuracy

 

LiDAR accuracy depends on multiple factors including:

​

• Sensor quality

• Flight planning

• GNSS positioning

• Ground control

• Terrain conditions

• Vegetation density

• Processing workflow

​

SKYMAPTEK utilizes professional-grade UAV LiDAR equipment and PPK/RTK workflows to maximize positional accuracy and deliver engineering-ready datasets.
