Solar site pre-construction topo

Bare-earth DTM, design contours, an array-layout surface, and an orthomosaic for a utility-scale solar developer's civil design phase, produced to ASPRS across 300+ typical acres. Suitability, testing, and professional reliance are defined in the quoted scope.

SURFACE

Utility-scale solar sites are big enough that mapping speed becomes a schedule item. In this representative scenario, the full site is covered in one capture window, providing a terrain surface, contours, array-layout context, and current imagery for a qualified civil or layout team to review.

A versioned surface may support a later comparison when the control, classification, surface treatment, and permitted use are consistent. It does not guarantee design suitability, construction acceptance, or a future comparison outcome.

Scope & deliverables.

Capture

Full-site PPK grid in one window · flight plan sized for 300+ acre sites

Deliverables

Bare-earth DTM · design contours · array-layout surface · orthomosaic

Turnaround

Design package on the developer's calendar · typical days, not weeks

Reliance boundary

Not a boundary or recordable survey · licensed review and acceptance required for design or permitting use

How accuracy was held.

Produced to ASPRS. Produced to the ASPRS workflow with PPK positioning and stated resolution. Client- or PLS-supplied control and independent checkpoints may be included when quoted. ASPRS wording does not confer survey status or establish suitability for design, interconnection, or permitting reliance.

Delivery commitments.

Standard-scope deliverables are typically available in the portal within 24 hours of flight; larger, survey-tested, or multisensor scopes receive quoted timeline.
Free reprocessing, revision, and re-delivery for the life of the project, within original scope.
Data is processed in the field and checked for completeness before demobilization (coverage, overlap, control residuals); final validation follows the stated delivery method.
