In-House Pilots
Our FAA-certified pilots are part of the Terrascope Labs team, not contractors. That means better communication, accountability, and consistent results.
What We Do
We’re more than drone pilots — We are your data partner. At Terrascope Labs, our focus goes beyond capturing stunning images from the sky. We deliver precise, actionable data designed to help you make smarter, faster decisions. Our mission is simple: to provide the insights you need to move your projects forward with confidence.

LiDAR Terrain Models
Penetrates vegetation to capture true ground elevation with centimeter-level accuracy. Make confident decisions in grading, drainage, and land development planning with precise elevation and slope data.
Photogrammetry
We Convert high-resolution aerial imagery into georeferenced 3D models and orthomosaics. Visualize your site in detail, measure distances and areas, and document every stage of your project with precision.
Stockpile Volumetrics
We Quickly and safely measure material quantities without halting operations. Stay on top of inventory, improve forecasting, and cut costs by eliminating over- or under-ordering.
Aerial Mapping
We Deliver accurate, large-scale maps tailored to your coordinate system and project requirements. Plan smarter, reduce survey time, and ensure every stakeholder has a clear, consistent view of the site.
Inspections
We capture close-up, high-resolution imagery of hard-to-reach or hazardous structures without putting workers at risk. Identify issues early, reduce downtime, and ensure compliance with safety and maintenance standards — all from a safe distance.
Construction Progress Monitoring
We document every stage of your build with consistent aerial imagery and data over time. Keep stakeholders informed, track milestones visually, and resolve disputes with clear, timestamped records of site progress.
LiDAR Technology
Engineering firms, construction managers, and developers across Texas rely on Terrascope Labs for advanced LiDAR drone services. Our FAA-certified pilots and state-of-the-art sensors deliver survey-grade data that saves projects both time and money — without sacrificing accuracy.
Precision You Can Build On
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to capture millions of data points in seconds, creating highly accurate 3D models of terrain, structures, and landscapes. At Terrascope Labs, we deploy the latest LiDAR technology to deliver centimeter-level accuracy — even through dense vegetation or challenging terrain — so you can plan, design, and build with total confidence.
Unmatched Accuracy
Centimeter-level elevation and position data for survey-grade DTMs/DSMs and tight tolerances on design work.
Rapid Data Capture
Millions of points per second—cover large sites in a single flight and turn deliverables around in 24–48 hours.
Penetrates Vegetation
Multi-return laser pulses reach the ground under canopy to produce clean ground points for grading and drainage planning.
Versatile Applications
Topographic surveys, cut/fill analysis, as-builts, utilities, flood modeling, corridor mapping, and more.
Better Decisions, Faster
CAD/GIS-ready deliverables: colorized point clouds (.las/.laz), DTMs/DSMs, contours, and orthomosaics in your coordinate system.
HOW WE WORK
- We start by learning about your goals, our team collects the details we need to tailor the right solution for your project.
- We build a flight plan and data capture strategy around your needs. From FAA approvals to choosing the right sensors, everything is aligned before the first drone takes off.
- Our FAA-certified pilots deploy state-of-the-art drones and sensors to capture high-resolution data. We fly efficiently and safely, minimizing downtime and maximizing accuracy.
- The raw aerial data is transformed into accurate deliverables: LiDAR point clouds, orthomosaics, 3D models, or volumetric reports. Each dataset is run through a rigorous quality assurance protocol.
- We deliver data in CAD/GIS-ready formats, along with web-based viewers when needed. Our team is available to walk you through results, answer questions, and support ongoing needs.
