Advanced Data Acquisition:

Terrestrial LiDAR

Astra employs advanced Terrestrial LiDAR technology to deliver high-precision data for a range of engineering and construction applications. Our LiDAR scanning services enable rapid data collection, detailed 3D mapping, and enhanced safety and accessibility, ensuring accurate and efficient project execution.

This technology helps reduce costs by providing highly precise data in a single scan, minimizing the need for return trips to the site. It’s accuracy allows for detailed mapping and measurements, eliminating errors that typically result in costly rework or additional visits. With this efficiency, projects can move faster, with fewer resources spent on repeated surveys, saving both time and money.
