South West Surveys offer mobile mapping and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) services for customers across the UK.

We use multi-rotor drones and have the ability to mount our sensors on vehicles.

One of our professionally trained and experienced UAV pilots and surveyors will carry out a LiDAR survey for the mapping of land, property and infrastructure. LiDAR surveys enable us to produce Digital Terrain Models which is often unachievable with photogrammetry methods, especially around vegetated areas.

LiDAR gives the operator the ability to rapidly survey both small-scale and large-scale areas in a more cost-effective way. A LiDAR system can often be much safer to use when surveying areas such as highways, railway lines and powerlines. A mobile mapping system eliminates any risks during the survey and can allow data to be captured remotely.

South West Surveys offer utility surveys for customers across the UK.

We can offer full utility mapping surveys, drainage surveys & CCTV inspections, utilising the latest ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic location (EML) equipment technologies.

Our surveys include, but are not limited to, accurate depth and location data for cables, pipes, ducts and drainage routes which will be positioned to OSGB36 and ODN height.

Utility surveys can be plotted on top of a new or existing South West Surveys topographic survey, or as a stand-alone service.

Our utility surveys can also be provided as a 3D DWG file or as a Revit model.
In some cases when a full utility survey isn’t required, South West Surveys can also offer a desktop utility survey. We can source relevant records from utility providers and supply this information in a single document.

For an additional cost, we can provide coal mining and tin mining reports.
