What applications do DEMs support?

DEMs support civil engineering, drainage analysis, flood modelling, mine planning, environmental assessment, and infrastructure design. Elevation data enables volume calculations, slope analysis, and site characterisation.

How accurate are your DEMs?

With proper ground control, we deliver DEMs with 1–5 cm vertical accuracy. Accuracy depends on terrain complexity, GCP distribution, and processing specifications.

What data formats do you provide?

We deliver DEMs in GeoTIFF, ASCII grid, and other standard formats compatible with GIS software. We can also provide point clouds and 3D models.

Can you process existing drone imagery into DEMs?

Yes. If you have raw drone images, we can process them into DEMs using professional photogrammetry software. Contact us to discuss your imagery.
