Terrestrial survey
Advanced aerial platforms expanding coverage in challenging environments.
Spectrum delivers terrestrial survey solutions for infrastructure projects operating at the dynamic interface between land and sea. Covering landfall corridors, transition zones, and nearshore environments, our surveys provide the critical spatial and geophysical information needed to support planning, design, and risk management.
Challenging terrain, limited access, and environmental sensitivities are common in these areas. Our advanced aerial platforms, proprietary sensor technologies, and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) enable efficient, safe, and cost-effective data acquisition while minimising operational and environmental impacts.
The result is high-quality, seamless datasets that give clients the confidence to make informed decisions and progress projects with reduced uncertainty and risk.
- AeroMAG® Uncrewed Aerial Magnetometer System (UAMS) – Spectrum’s proprietary aerial magnetometer technology enables efficient detection of buried ferrous objects across large areas over land and water.
- Topographic LiDAR, photogrammetry, and orthophotography – UAS-mounted sensors capture high-resolution terrain data and georeferenced imagery to produce detailed digital terrain models and orthophotos for engineering, planning, and environmental assessment.
- Terrestrial Laser Scanning – Laser scanning surveys from onshore and moving platforms, including SLAM technology, for precise infrastructure mapping.
- Buried asset detection surveys – Geophysical survey methods identify and map existing subsurface infrastructure, supporting safe route planning and construction activities.
- UXO detection surveys – Aerial and ground-based geophysical techniques are used to detect potential unexploded ordnance hazards and support risk assessment and clearance planning.
