Centerline provides advanced UAV surveying to capture high-density data over large or inaccessible project areas. By utilizing drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and LiDAR sensors, we produce 2D and 3D models essential for site planning and volume calculations. Our aerial services allow for rapid data collection while reducing the safety risks associated with traditional ground-based surveying in hazardous terrain.

Our UAV mapping Alberta services offer a level of speed and detail superior to other traditional methods. By flying a site with a LiDAR sensor, we can capture millions of data points per minute, creating a “digital twin” of your project area. This data is critical for engineers who need accurate topographic information for drainage design, earthworks planning, or infrastructure routing in complex environments.
We treat aerial data as a direct extension of our core surveying work rather than a standalone product. By tying every flight to physical markers on the ground, we make sure the digital models align perfectly with your site’s actual coordinates and legal boundaries. This cross-referencing process provides the reliability required for industrial projects where vertical and horizontal accuracy are non-negotiable.
Our UAV team provides a viewpoint that bridges the gap between raw terrain and engineered designs. Because our aerial mapping is synchronized with our geomatics and construction divisions, the resulting files are ready for immediate use in heavy equipment machine control or CAD software. Whether you require a single volume report or recurring updates for a long-term project, we ensure the information remains consistent and verified from the first flight to the final inspection.
When tied to ground control, our aerial mapping can achieve centimetre-level accuracy, providing much higher data density than traditional methods.
Yes. LiDAR pulses can find gaps in the canopy to hit the ground, creating accurate “bare earth” models where traditional cameras would fail.
Yes. Drones keep personnel away from heavy machinery and unstable slopes. Our pilots are fully licensed and follow strict safety protocols.
Common deliverables include 3D point clouds, topographic contour maps, high-resolution orthomosaic images, and detailed volumetric reports.
Data collection is very fast. Most processing and reporting are completed within a few days of the flight, depending on data complexity.
