What is a LiDAR Survey?

A LiDAR survey (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to create highly accurate, three-dimensional models of the earth’s surface, structures, and vegetation. By emitting millions of laser points and measuring their return time, LiDAR generates precise topographic maps, digital elevation models (DEMs), and detailed point clouds. This technology is ideal for large-scale mapping, complex terrain analysis, and projects requiring high-resolution data, such as urban planning, infrastructure development, flood modeling, and coastal management.
At Alabama Land Surveyors, we leverage airborne and terrestrial LiDAR systems, including drone-based and ground-based platforms, to deliver customized surveys that meet the specific needs of projects in Montgomery, Birmingham-Hoover, and Foley, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
