3D Laser Scanning and Modelling
3D Laser Scanning and Modelling
Challenger is an industry leader in the use of 3D Laser Scanning & Modeling and is able to deploy this technology in a variety of ways.
Laser Scanning has become the standard for many types of survey projects. Its high accuracy and speed (captures 1 million points per second) make it ideal for busy job sites. It also allows us to capture data where it is difficult or dangerous for a person to access.
This is valuable for topographic surveys, volume or area measurements, deformation monitoring, and as-builts. Plus, with BIM and remote work becoming more common, these highly accurate point clouds help to keep dispersed teams on the same page.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Challenger currently operates both fixed-wing and quadcopter drones to provide aerial mapping for our clients, all backed by licensed professional surveyors and technical staff.
Our UAV survey technology can help with inspections and deliver quick and inexpensive high-resolution aerial imagery and LiDAR solutions. Our pilots are licensed by Transport Canada.
Photogrammetry Services
Challenger has full capability in all aspects of aerial mapping and photogrammetry. Imagery from UAVs, satellites and aircraft can be processed into mosaics, orthophotos, and other deliverables.
As we are one of the only survey companies with an in-house photogrammetry department, we are able to quickly turn around mapping products. We can also integrate these into your existing GIS workflows or with our own customized GIS platform.
