When a contractor needed floodplain verification for three new homes, an active wheat field and tight deadlines made traditional surveying impractical. DronePoint deployed UAV LiDAR across 40 acres, delivering DWG topographic drawings with floodplain overlays that cleared municipal review — faster and at lower cost than ground-based methods.

During a mine permit renewal application process, MDA Consulting Engineers required accurate topographical data for an approximately 70-acre active gravel mine. The site was operational, time-sensitive, and presented safety and access challenges that made traditional ground-based surveying inefficient and risky. The goal was to collect high-quality topographic data quickly so the permit application could be completed on schedule.

Routine bridge inspections are typically performed using under-bridge inspection units (UBIUs), scaffolding, rope access, or boat-based methods. In this case, none of those options were feasible or cost-effective.
