Field surveys & topography

Altimetric surveys and creation of topographic plans using drones, Lidar, or photogrammetry.

Use of Digital Terrain Models (DTM) or Digital Surface Models (DSM) to describe the altimetry of a study area.

Visual & thermal inspection

  • Speed and cost-effectiveness: a survey in record time providing a comprehensive overview of the work to be planned.
  • Precision and Frequency: detailed and accurate site analysis, including hard-to-access areas. Monitoring of project progress is also possible.

Thermal inspections can reveal ancient traces or structural modifications.

Each element can be accurately measured and located on the structure.

Facade surveys & site plans

  • Facade surveys/elevations of heritage buildings for renovation or conservation projects.
  • Réalisation de plans de masse avec une précision centimétrique grâce au drone.

Virtual model of your monument

3D modeling captures details and provides measurements for a virtual model of buildings or archaeological sites.

Modeling from:

  • drone acquisitions (photogrammetry or LiDAR),
  • existing data (IGN HD LiDAR, terrestrial LiDAR, etc.).

Field surveys help to correct and estimate the accuracy of models.
