Laser Scanning & Mapping for the Energy and Utilities Industry

The energy and utilities industry has long suffered from a lack of reliable as-built information. Over time, design changes made in the field during construction and modifications often leave records incomplete and inaccurate. High-definition laser scanning (HDS) provides a cost-effective solution for creating a complete and accurate record of existing facilities.

At Martinez Geospatial, we utilize cutting-edge geospatial technology to provide accurate and detailed information that empowers utility and energy companies, facility managers, regulatory bodies, contractors, consultants, and emergency responders to make informed decisions, minimize risk, and optimize efficiency and cost-effectiveness across their operations.

Precision Data Acquisition in Difficult Environments

Martinez Geospatial is uniquely suited to meet the survey needs of the energy and utility industry. We offer a wide range of field data acquisition options which utilize the latest technological advances. This includes HDS, mobile LiDAR, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), drone imagery and LiDAR, and top-of-the-line conventional land surveying equipment. We often utilize multiple data acquisition methods on a single project to take advantage of the best features that each technology has to offer. Our vast experience enables us to collect accurate field data quickly, safely, and efficiently, even in the most challenging environments (i.e. indoor, outdoor, hot, cold, loud, dark, bright, windy, small, congested, high, deep, etc.). By utilizing a combination of data acquisition methods, Martinez Geospatial can optimize the distinct features of each technology, offering clients the most accurate and complete information possible.
