The challenge
Santee Cooper’s transmission department needed current, detailed data along an approximately 8,300-linear-foot corridor. They needed it on a utility schedule, and the corridor’s length made a traditional ground survey slow. Helicopter LiDAR was booked weeks out.
What we did
We flew the entire corridor with drone LiDAR and captured aerials. Our team processed the data and our licensed surveyors checked it before delivery.
Deliverables
- LiDAR data of the approximately 8,300 LF corridor
- Station aerials
Turnaround
Days, not weeks. Our typical LiDAR turnaround is 3–5 business days, depending on the product.
Result
The transmission team got the corridor and station data they needed without waiting weeks on field crews. It’s one of many drone LiDAR projects we’ve flown for Santee Cooper’s transmission department.
