Solution

Special Projects

Archaeology, caves, tunnels, ground movement and problems without a standard method, from ancient copper slag to GPS-denied underground spaces.

Special Projects

Overview

Some questions don’t fit a standard survey. We build the method around the problem, combining sensors and analysis that are rarely used together.

The challenge

Buried structures, underground voids, unstable slopes and restricted sites are hidden, inaccessible or GPS-denied, and conventional discovery is slow, invasive or unsafe.

Our approach

Aerial and handheld LiDAR, thermal and multispectral imaging, GPR and repeat surveys, selected around the research or engineering question and tested in the field before scaling up.

The intelligence

Raster analysis, smart segmentation and cross-section comparison reveal buried features, connect surface and underground spaces, and measure ground movement over time.

The value

Researchers and engineers get a permanent digital record, better-targeted excavation or intervention, and safer decisions in fragile or hazardous places.

Structured outputs

Typical deliverables

  • Subsurface anomaly map
  • 3D model of surface and underground spaces
  • Ground-movement comparison
  • Targeted investigation plan
