Energy and Telecommunications Sector
From the line’s LiDAR profile to the substation As-Built
We fly transmission corridors and survey hydroelectric plants, solar and wind farms, substations and networks. We have flown our own airborne LiDAR since 2014 and have been a certified air operator with DGAC, Peru’s civil aviation authority, since 2013.
A transmission line crosses ravines, hillsides, farmland and parcels held by many owners. We survey that corridor with LiDAR and deliver the alignment profile and the right-of-way cadastre. At a power plant or a solar or wind farm the work starts the same way: with the terrain model that platforms, access roads and civil works are designed on.
Once the line or plant is in service, what needs measuring changes: vegetation growing into the right-of-way, slopes moving at the foot of a tower, reservoirs filling with sediment. We measure those changes campaign by campaign and tell your maintenance team where each one is and how far it has progressed.

Thermal power plants
3D laser scanning and As-Built models of turbine halls, tanks and process piping.
Solar and wind farms
Digital terrain models for platforms, access roads and turbine layout.
Transmission lines
LiDAR corridor profiling, right-of-way cadastre and conductor sag checks.
Electrical substations
As-Built digital twins of switchyards, control rooms and equipment.
Gas pipelines and terminals
Route surveys, geodetic control of construction and asset inventory.
Urban and rural networks
Mobile mapping and georeferenced inventory of power distribution and telecom networks.
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.
