See the ground—especially where it matters
LiDAR is the best option for many Costa Rica sites because it can capture dense, complex terrain and produce true 3D deliverables for planning, engineering, and development.
What you get
- Classified point cloud: LAS/LAZ with ground and non-ground returns.
- DTM/DSM outputs: digital terrain and surface models.
- Contours: interval based on your use case and terrain.
- Slope + hillshade maps: easy-to-read planning layers.
- Cut/fill surfaces: useful for site grading and earthworks.
Deliverables can be tailored for CAD/GIS workflows (GeoTIFF, DXF/DWG where applicable) and clear documentation.
How the process works
1) Scope + deliverables
We confirm what you’re building or deciding, then define deliverables that match your workflow. That avoids overpaying for data you don’t need—or missing something critical.
- Area and vegetation assessment
- Target outputs (DTM/contours/CAD/GIS)
- Timeline and access planning
2) Field capture + QA
We capture LiDAR and validate results through consistent checks, so the final surfaces behave well in your GIS/CAD environment.
- Flight planning for coverage + overlap
- Safety-first operations
- Processing + classification review
Common questions
How fast is turnaround?
It depends on area size and deliverables, but many projects can be delivered quickly once access is confirmed. If you have a deadline, send it with your quote request.
Do you work with dense vegetation?
Yes—this is one of the main reasons clients choose LiDAR in Costa Rica. We focus on producing ground-aware surfaces and documentation that’s useful for planning.
