# Surveying, LiDAR and drones for agriculture and agribusiness | Global Mapping > GNSS, LiDAR and drone surveys for irrigation design and land leveling, reservoir bathymetry, rural cadastre and crop vigor maps (NDVI) each season, for farms and agro-industrial plants. Page: https://globalmapping.biz/en/sectors/agriculture-and-agroindustry --- ## Agriculture and Agroindustry Sector # The slope and crop vigor of every field on the farm We survey the ground with drones, LiDAR and GNSS so you can design irrigation, level land or bring new land into production. During the season, we follow the crop with satellite and multispectral imagery. A drip irrigation design depends on the real slope of each field: one elevation error can leave irrigation zones getting more or less water than planned. That is why the terrain model rests on GNSS control points measured on the ground, and we deliver it with contours and leveling and drainage plans. Multispectral imagery and NDVI show where a field behaves differently; your agronomy team confirms why, in the field. We also measure reservoirs with bathymetry, scan packing houses for the As-Built, and carry out rural cadastre and land title regularization before new areas are brought into production. Experience and results 5M+ hectares surveyed 1200+ projects delivered 200+ clients ## Where we work in agriculture and agribusiness ### Farms and crop fields Field mapping, terrain models and vegetation indices for each season. ### Irrigation systems and reservoirs Network surveys, reservoir bathymetry and gradient checks. ### Processing and packing plants 3D laser scanning, As-Built BIM models and dimensional control of the plant. ### Farm roads and access routes Mobile mapping, road inventory and geometric control of access routes. ### Drainage and soil management Elevation models for land leveling, and salinization tracking. ### Expansions and new land Rural cadastre, land title regularization and studies before new land is developed. ## Four business lines, from planning to monitoring Plan, design, build, operate and monitor. The same four lines in every sector, with the activities and deliverables that sector needs. 01 Levantamiento, Cartografía y Modelado ### Survey, Mapping & Modeling “Every field, canal and reservoir, with the elevations irrigation design needs” - Airborne, terrestrial, mobile and drone LiDAR over farms, fields and irrigation corridors - Surveying, geodesy, GNSS networks and precise leveling for irrigation design and land leveling - Digital photogrammetry, orthophotos and digital terrain (DTM) and surface (DSM) models - Multispectral imagery and vegetation indices (NDVI) to analyze crop vigor and variability - Digital mapping of fields and irrigation corridors, season by season - Bathymetric surveys of reservoirs and irrigation ponds - 3D modeling and As-Built BIM models of agro-industrial plants, packing houses and warehouses - Geospatial inventory of farm and irrigation infrastructure - Rural cadastre, property management and land title regularization Deliverables Classified point cloud · DTM/DSM · High-resolution orthophoto · Field maps and vegetation indices (NDVI) · Topographic and cadastral plans · 3D models · As-Built BIM · Geospatial database (GDB) 02 Control y Aseguramiento de Calidad ### Quality Control & Assurance “We check field leveling and slopes before planting” - Geodetic control and setting out of irrigation systems, reservoirs, farm roads and plants - Geometric verification and dimensional control with surveying, LiDAR and 3D laser scanning - Independent audit of topographic, LiDAR, photogrammetric and satellite surveys - Geospatial QA/QC to international standards and project specifications - Land leveling checks and verification of design slopes - Calculation and verification of earthwork and reservoir volumes - As-Built control and asset verification during construction, operation and maintenance Deliverables Geodetic control report · Geometric verification record · As-Built report · QA/QC report (ISO 19157 / ASPRS) · Setting-out and leveling drawings · Independent audit report 03 Monitoreo de Campos, Infraestructura y Gestión de Riesgos ### Crop & Infrastructure Monitoring “Where the crop is losing vigor, and how much water is left in each reservoir” - Multitemporal monitoring with drones, LiDAR and satellite imagery to follow each season - Tracking of vigor, water stress and irrigation uniformity with multispectral indices - Geodetic monitoring of deformation and settlement in reservoirs, canals and platforms - Tracking of erosion, drainage and soil salinization - Monitoring of water sources, reservoirs and available volumes - Mapping of hazards and areas exposed to flooding or landslides - Integration of instrumentation, GIS and spatial analysis for risk prevention Deliverables Multitemporal change reports · Vigor and water stress maps · Reservoir volume reports · Infrastructure performance reports · Threshold-based technical alerts · Risk management reports 04 Soluciones Digitales e Inteligencia Artificial ### Digital Solutions & Artificial Intelligence “One dashboard per farm, with its fields, seasons and reservoirs” - Digital twins of farms and agro-industrial plants, updated with each monitoring campaign - BIM + GIS integration to manage farm assets in one place - Management zones and precision agriculture from geospatial analysis and artificial intelligence - Geospatial dashboards to track seasons and production indicators - 3D virtual tours for inspection, planning and remote collaboration - Predictive analytics and AI to estimate yield and anticipate production risks Deliverables Digital twin of the farm or plant · Integrated BIM + GIS platform · Geospatial dashboard · Predictive models and automated reports · 3D virtual tours ## Who we work for - Farm and agribusiness managers - Field and irrigation managers - Agronomists - Consulting and engineering firms - EPC contractors - Land and property teams - Banks and investors - GIS specialists ## Brochure ## Download the sector brochure Leave us your details and download the sector brochure, with our lines of work, activities and deliverables.
