Drone LiDAR Scanning
Millimeter-accurate aerial point clouds captured by sensor-equipped UAVs.
// Coverage / UT
Engineering-grade aerial LiDAR anywhere in Utah — captured by FAA-certified pilots near your site, processed to one national QA standard, delivered in the formats your team works in.
01// Field Notes
Utah's projects concentrate along the Wasatch Front bench lands, with basin-and-range west desert and red-rock canyon country beyond. Sparse desert vegetation means bare-earth quality is rarely an issue outside mountain conifer stands; high elevation and summer heat shape flight planning more than canopy does.
Salt Lake City International's Class B covers the metro core, with Provo and Ogden fields adding tower coordination up and down the Front. Hill Air Force Base and the enormous restricted airspace of the Utah Test and Training Range close off much of the west desert.
The Silicon Slopes corridor from Lehi to Draper keeps commercial-campus and data-center work flowing, while housing pressure along the entire Wasatch Front sustains subdivision topo at scale. Utility-scale solar in the west desert and central valleys plus mining volumetrics — including some of the largest open-pit operations in the country — anchor the industrial side.

03// FAQ
Most Utah projects fall between $2,500 and $15,000 depending on acreage, vegetation, deliverables, and whether certified survey control is required. Small single-site scans start lower; large or corridor projects are quoted per linear mile. Send a KML of your site and we return an exact quote within 24 hours.
Yes — Pro LiDAR contracts vetted, FAA-certified pilots across Utah, including the Salt Lake City area. Because capture happens locally, you don't pay travel mobilization for most sites, and weather windows can be hit quickly.
Our point clouds, DEMs, and contours are engineering-grade and drop directly into CAD, GIS, and BIM workflows. When a deliverable must carry a professional land surveyor's certification, we partner with licensed surveyors in Utah to provide it. Remote Optix Inc. and Pro LiDAR are not professional land surveyors and do not represent themselves as such.
