Technology
LACO’s survey crews utilize state-of-the-art Trimble Robotic Total Stations and GPS/GNSS units, allowing them to work effectively in any terrain. LACO’s technology also includes a fleet of uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, equipped with LiDAR and photogrammetric sensors. We have discovered that combining UAV data with traditional survey methods yields excellent mapping for planning and design , providing greater detail than conventional methods alone. Additionally, by utilizing this technique we can provide a color orthometric photo as a standard deliverable.
