Aerial LiDAR surveys capture survey grade spatial data using advanced laser scanning technology mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles. This method is ideal for mapping large, complex, or vegetated areas, delivering precise 3D models and terrain data that support accurate planning, design, and analysis.
With extensive experience in aerial LiDAR capture, RM Surveys is a trusted partner for infrastructure projects, environmental monitoring, and asset management across Western Australia.
Our team combines cutting-edge LiDAR technology with repeatable survey control to deliver high-accuracy results, even in challenging environments.
Trust RM Surveys to provide the clarity, precision, and actionable data your projects demand.
Accurate aerial LiDAR surveying is invaluable across infrastructure, environmental, and resource sectors. It delivers the detailed terrain models, point clouds, and asset insights needed to plan with confidence, track progress, and mitigate risks.
From wide-area mapping to corridor surveys and vegetation analysis, precision is key to reducing rework, improving safety, and keeping projects on track.

RM Surveys recently delivered a high-resolution aerial LiDAR survey across approximately 112 hectares at the Merredin Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) site, supporting a detailed flood management study.
View moreAerial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses mounted on a drone to measure distances and create highly accurate 3D models of terrain and assets. It’s particularly effective in vegetated, remote, or hard-to-access areas.
Infrastructure corridors (roads, rail, pipelines), environmental monitoring, large earthworks, mining operations, and asset inspections in complex terrain all gain from the efficiency and detail of aerial LiDAR.
LiDAR captures dense, survey-grade 3D data quickly and safely over large or complex sites. It penetrates vegetation, performs in varied lighting conditions, and generates terrain models suited to engineering, environmental, and construction applications.
When combined with precise ground control and RM Surveys’ proven workflows, aerial LiDAR consistently achieves centimetre-level accuracy: delivering results you can rely on for critical design, planning, and compliance decisions.
Yes. RM Surveys processes and formats aerial LiDAR data to integrate seamlessly with CAD, GIS, BIM, and other project platforms, ensuring it’s ready to use immediately.
