Linear Infrastructure Mapping

Traditional corridor surveying can be time-consuming, resource-intensive, and difficult in remote or hazardous environments. Drone-based workflows improve efficiency while maintaining high spatial accuracy.

Key advantages include:

• Rapid data acquisition across large corridor areas
• Safe operations in difficult or inaccessible terrain
• High point density and complete corridor coverage
• Reduced need for ground-based surveying

Using LiDAR, vegetation can be penetrated to capture the true ground surface — critical for accurate terrain modelling along infrastructure corridors.

Typical applications include:

• Powerline and transmission corridor mapping
• Road and highway planning and documentation
• Railway corridor mapping and analysis
• Pipeline and cable route mapping
• Infrastructure inspection and asset documentation
• Vegetation analysis and clearance monitoring
• As-built documentation and project follow-up

FROST combines drone-mounted LiDAR, high-resolution imagery, and precise GNSS/IMU positioning to ensure reliable and consistent datasets.

Each project is adapted to:

• Corridor length and width
• Terrain and vegetation conditions
• Required accuracy and data density

Our workflows ensure:

• Continuous and overlapping coverage
• Accurate georeferencing
• Reliable classification of terrain and infrastructure features
• Seamless integration into GIS, CAD, and BIM environments

Linear infrastructure projects require consistent data quality across large geographical areas.

FROST ensures:

• High horizontal and vertical accuracy
• Uniform point density throughout the corridor
• Reliable ground classification in vegetated terrain
• Repeatable datasets for monitoring and change detection

We deliver analysis-ready corridor datasets, including:

• Classified point clouds (LAS / LAZ)
• Digital Terrain Models (DTM)
• Digital Surface Models (DSM)
• Orthophotos and imagery datasets
• GIS- and CAD-ready files
• Corridor mapping deliverables for engineering workflows
