F5 — Drone surveying · LiDAR
The terrain, in centimeters.
F5 flies LiDAR and photogrammetry missions and turns them into point clouds, orthomosaics and terrain models your engineers can build on. Flight plan, permits, processing — handled.

What we survey
Four jobs we fly most.
Construction sites & progress
Monthly or milestone flights over active sites: compare against the design, document progress, catch deviations early.
Stockpile volumetrics
Volumes of aggregate, coal, soil or spoil measured from the point cloud — repeatable numbers instead of tape and guesswork.
Infrastructure corridors & inspection
Pipelines, power lines and roads mapped as continuous corridors; towers and crossings inspected up close.
Agriculture & terrain models
Fields and open land captured as elevation models for drainage, planning and earthworks estimates.
Deliverables
What you receive.
Every mission ends in files your team can open on day one — georeferenced, documented, checked.
Point clouds (LAS/LAZ)
Classified, georeferenced point clouds — ready for Civil 3D, Revit or CloudCompare.
Orthomosaics
Geometrically corrected high-resolution aerial maps, down to 2–3 cm per pixel.
DEM / DSM
Digital elevation and surface models in GeoTIFF; contour lines on request.
3D meshes
Textured 3D models (OBJ, FBX, 3D Tiles) for visualisation and BIM overlays.
Measurement reports
Volumes, cross-sections and comparisons as a signed PDF with the methodology attached.
Process
How a mission works.
-
01
Flight plan & permits
We scope the site, design the flight plan and file for airspace clearance with the aviation authorities.
-
02
Capture
The mission is flown with LiDAR and RTK positioning. A compact site is usually one day on location; large corridors take several.
-
03
Processing
Trajectory adjustment, point-cloud classification, orthomosaic and model generation, QA against ground control points.
-
04
Delivery
Data in the formats your team uses, plus a walkthrough call. Typically 3–10 working days after the flight, depending on site size.
Plan an extra one to two weeks for airspace approval — longer near restricted zones. We tell you the realistic timeline before you commit.
Accuracy & equipment
Accuracy you can check.
With RTK positioning and ground control points we typically reach 3–5 cm horizontal and 5–10 cm vertical accuracy. The real figure depends on terrain, vegetation and flight altitude — we state the expected accuracy before the mission and verify it against independent checkpoints in the report.
- Survey-grade LiDAR scanner
- RTK/PPK GNSS positioning
- 20+ MP photogrammetry cameras
- Ground control & checkpoint kit
Pairs well
Pairs with 360° systems.
The same site, from the inside: we capture 360° virtual tours and aerial panoramas on the same mobilisation — one flight window, two deliverables.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Who handles flight permits in Azerbaijan?
We do. For every mission F5 files the airspace clearance and coordinates the flight with the civil aviation authorities. In ordinary areas approval usually takes a few days to a week; near sensitive zones plan for one to two weeks, and some restricted areas may require route changes.
How large a site can you cover, and how long does it take?
A compact site — up to roughly 50 hectares — is usually a single day of flying. Corridors and large territories are flown in sections over several days. Processing adds 3–10 working days depending on data volume.
What accuracy should I expect?
With RTK and ground control, typically 3–5 cm horizontal and 5–10 cm vertical. Dense vegetation, water surfaces and steep faces reduce it — we state the expected figure up front and verify it against checkpoints in the delivered report.
What formats do you deliver — will they open in my software?
LAS/LAZ point clouds, GeoTIFF orthomosaics and elevation models, OBJ/FBX meshes and PDF reports — compatible with AutoCAD Civil 3D, Revit, QGIS, ArcGIS and CloudCompare. Other formats on request.
What about weather?
We do not fly in rain, snow or strong wind (roughly above 10 m/s), and photogrammetry needs decent light. We book a weather window for every mission and reschedule at no cost if conditions turn.
