Drone LiDAR & Mapping — point clouds, orthomosaics and CAD-ready survey outputs.

When LiDAR beats photogrammetry.

Photogrammetry is excellent for visible surfaces. LiDAR is useful when you need ground beneath vegetation, repeatable structural geometry, low-contrast environments or measured separation between thin objects like cables and conductors.

LiDAR missions are scoped around the required output, site control and QA method. We process in-house through DJI Terra and deliver classified point clouds, contours, bare-earth DTM and cross-sections in formats your team already works with.

Typical missions: powerline corridor scans for vegetation encroachment, bare-earth surveys under tree canopy for civil design, retaining wall and stockpile geometry, narrow structures where photogrammetry struggles, and dense vegetation environments where ground capture matters.

Photogrammetric mapping

Useful mapping data, not pretty pictures.

A drone orthomosaic is only useful if it is georeferenced, repeatable and delivered in formats your team already works with. Miles Away Aerial captures and processes drone mapping data with RTK or PPK workflows depending on the project, delivering orthomosaics in GeoTIFF, point clouds in LAS/LAZ, contours in DXF/SHP and 3D models in OBJ or FBX.

Whether you're mapping a quarry for monthly volumetrics, a construction site for progress reporting, a council asset for dilapidation records, or a solar farm for as-built documentation, the work is scoped against your downstream workflow — not against a default capture grid.

Where cadastral or certified survey outputs are required, licensed surveyor coordination is available for ground control and final certification. Drone mapping supports the workflow; it does not replace certified survey sign-off.
