Scans were completed at AT&T Park on December 16th with Flight Evolved field teams collecting approximately 32 scans of the stadium. The video below gives an overview of the infield scans and feature extraction points of interest. Below are also data files and measurements extracted by our processing teams.

One of the most common questions we receive is: "How accurate is your data"? It comes as no surprise that many clients are interested in the quality of remote sensing data.

We often get asked how UAVs can best be utilized in the Utility industry. It is a multi-faceted answer, but I believe there are specific use cases that aren’t being considered that may change the way Utilities operate.

Scans were completed at Dodgers Stadium on December 15th with Flight Evolved field teams collecting approximately 29 scans of the stadium. The video to the left gives an overview of the infield scans and feature extraction points of interest. Below are data files and measurements extracted by our processing teams.

Flight Evolved partners with SDG&E to deliver hundreds of miles of LiDAR. Flight Evolved was brought on to the FiRM program in late 2016 to begin the As-Built surveying efforts. The initial scope of work was to map out approximately 3,200 Distribution poles that had been constructed since the program began. The purpose was to...

Flight Evolved industrial data services represent a paradigm shift in not only data collection, but also in data delivery. LIDAR point clouds are an amazing resource for many industrial applications, however it can be difficult to find ways to maximize the value of this data without the right partners and knowledge. In this case study...

Traditionally, mapping has been accomplished with LiDAR systems flown on fixed wing aircraft. Now, we can provide the same level of accuracy from a sUAS platform using aerial photogrammetry. sUAS (small unmanned aerial systems) outfitted with Photogrammetry or LiDAR survey equipment offer a more efficent and cost saving alternative to manned aircraft (planes or helicopters). Using...

Many facility owners are discovering how well 3D mapping and modeling can be used for promotional and progress reporting purposes. Both before and after a project. Flight Evolved worked with a client to showcase new additions made to a water treatment plant. The construction and design was headed by a large Engineering firm.  Once the...

Solar fields can cover hundreds of acres and require large crews working for multiple weeks to inspect them. For this reason, Flight Evolved recently partnered with a client to map a 120-acre solar field in southern Arizona. The job took a day to complete, and the data we were able to collect was more complete, more...

Flight Evolved was tasked with a unique project to provide LiDAR and ortho imagery of a series of ski resorts outside Lake Tahoe, California. This particular project was unique because of it’s high accuracy and coverage requirements. Using a Bell 206L helicopter and our custom lightweight LiDAR/optical camera integration, we were able to gather extremely...

Flight Evolved was tasked with gathering high density UAV LiDAR for a 66kV substation in Southern California. The purpose of this project was to gather both highly accurate, and highly dense, LiDAR data for creating a 3D as-built of the substation. In the past, our client was forced to rely on 2D red lines and...

When rockslides and erosion threatened a 90+ megawatt hydroelectric facility, Flight Evolved was called to help provide high density LIDAR modeling of the dam, banks, and spillways. On this particular project, Flight Evolved partnered with a company in the Pacific Northwest to gather data of a large hydroelectric facility.  The data was to be used...

UAVs have changed the game for aerial LiDAR acquisition. On this particular project, Flight Evolved partnered with the Kootenai Electric Company and HDR Inc. to gather data of a transmission corridor in the Pacific Northwest.  The data was to be used to determine the feasibility of running another line along the corridor.  Our data was...

A large utility company in Southern California approached Flight Evolved to solve a challenging issue they were facing in their underground electric vaults. Flight Evolved deployed an unmanned underground LiDAR system to safely inspect each vault and gather robust 3D “as-built” data. 

A major sporting organization reached out to Flight Evolved for help kicking off a challenging data verification project for their broadcast analytics. Flight Evolved deployed LiDAR teams to each event stadium across the United States to capture highly-detailed and highly-accurate 3D point clouds, oriented to suit their internal coordinate systems. 

SDG&E, a Southern California electric utility reached out to Flight Evolved to help them perform highly-detailed inspections of their distribution assets. Flight Evolved deployed teams into the field within two-weeks and pioneered both GIS workflows and software automation to accomplish the client’s objectives.
