Saudi Arabia · Large-area survey
The scale of development in Saudi Arabia is unlike anywhere else in the region. Giga-projects and new cities cover huge areas of desert, mountain and coastline, and design teams need reliable ground data long before the first road is built. A LiDAR survey in Saudi Arabia captures millions of ground points across large, remote or rough terrain far faster than conventional surveying, giving engineers and planners a dependable base for decisions.
We help project teams turn that raw LiDAR data into something they can actually design on: classified point clouds, terrain models and contours, delivered in the coordinate system and formats the project requires.
Large programmes generate enormous datasets, often from several capture campaigns and contractors. We specialise in the processing side: registering and checking data, classifying ground and non-ground points, removing noise and producing consistent surfaces across the whole area. Our AI-assisted workflows are designed to handle billions of points without a large processing team, which keeps turnaround predictable as the dataset grows.
Projects in Saudi Arabia are supported remotely from Dubai, with site visits and local partners as needed. Raw data can be transferred securely to our team, processed and checked, and returned as finished deliverables without the cost of mobilising a full office in the Kingdom.
For field capture we work with vetted local partners. Where local licensing is required, fieldwork is delivered with licensed local survey partners. This keeps fieldwork compliant with local requirements while processing and quality control stay with one accountable team.
Survey work in Saudi Arabia often has to deal with heat, dust, long travel distances and restricted access. Good planning makes the difference between one efficient campaign and several costly return trips. Before capture, we work with the project team to agree the survey boundary, ground control, coordinate system, point density and deliverables, and we check how the data will be used by designers downstream.
Where several contractors capture different parts of a large programme, consistency becomes a real challenge. Different sensors, flight heights and processing methods can produce surfaces that do not match at the boundaries. We can act as a single processing and QC point for multiple datasets, checking overlaps, flagging mismatches and producing one consistent terrain model for the whole site, so levels, volumes and drainage calculations are based on the same ground truth everywhere. The same model can then be reused from early feasibility work through to detailed design and construction.

Yes. Much of our work is processing and checking data captured by others. We need access to the raw or registered data and any control information used.
Because processing is remote, we can support projects anywhere in the Kingdom, including Riyadh, Jeddah and the Eastern Province.
Accuracy depends on the capture method and terrain. Accuracy is specified per project to suit the deliverable and confirmed in our proposal.
Turnaround is agreed upfront and depends on project size; we respond to enquiries within one business day.
Tell us the size of your site, where it is and what the data will be used for. We'll propose a capture and processing approach.
