Data Acquisition

---

In today’s fast-paced infrastructure, construction, and development sectors, precision data isn’t just important—it’s critical. Whether you’re designing a new road, managing a construction site, verifying utility placements, or building a digital twin of an urban area, having accurate, high-resolution geospatial data can make or break your project.

That’s where Direct Geospatial comes in. We specialize in comprehensive data acquisition services including advanced Survey Grade UAS Data Collection for engineering, surveying, environmental, and construction professionals who demand the highest level of accuracy and efficiency.

We deploy UAVs equipped with high-resolution cameras (Drone Photogrammetry) and LiDAR sensors to quickly capture topographic and spatial data. This method is perfect for mapping large or hard-to-access areas, delivering precise outputs like point clouds, orthophotos, and digital surface models.

• Safe and fast data collection
• High-resolution elevation and imagery
• Ideal for construction sites, forestry, flood modeling, and infrastructure

Using terrestrial scanners, we capture dense 3D point clouds of complex structures, interiors, and terrain. This method suits projects needing extreme accuracy such as architectural preservation or structural analysis.

• Sub-centimeter accuracy
• Detailed, high-resolution models
• Great for BIM and clash detection

Our GPS rovers use Virtual Reference Station (VRSNOW) networks to provide real-time centimeter-level accuracy. 

• Real-time centimeter-level positioning
• Faster field workflows
• Excellent for construction layouts and land surveying

 When VRS coverage is limited, we use traditional base and rover setups for precise geolocation anywhere, even in remote areas. (adding to this - tighter gcp)

• Reliable in off-grid locations
• Independent of cellular networks
• Flexible for challenging environments

Our robotic total stations precisely locate physical features such as building corners, column lines, and anchor bolts. These instruments offer sub-millimeter accuracy and can be operated by a single technician.

• Accurate layout of structural elements
• Ideal for building corners, grids, and walls
• Fast, automated measurement and tracking
• Essential for tight-tolerance construction

Surveyors and construction professionals rely on precise, real-world data to keep projects moving forward without costly delays or design conflicts. Whether you're preparing a boundary survey, staking for foundations, verifying as-built conditions, or managing multi-phase construction workflows, accurate data is the backbone of your success.

Our advanced Survey Grade UAS Data Collection and ground-based solutions ensure you get the high-accuracy data you need—quickly, safely, and efficiently. Whether you’re breaking ground or finishing out, Direct Geospatial provides the dependable insight to help you build it right the first time. 

In surveying and construction, time is money. Traditional methods often mean multiple site visits, long setups, and slow data processing.

Direct Geospatial helps you work faster without losing accuracy. Using advanced tools like UAV LiDAR, robotic total stations, and GPS rovers with VRSNOW, we cut field time drastically and speed up deliverables.

The result:

• Fewer site visits
• Faster turnaround
• More billable hours
• Better response to client needs

With Direct Geospatial, surveyors gain a competitive edge getting accurate, actionable data quickly to stay ahead of tight deadlines and busy projects.

 When time, accuracy, and scalability matter, Direct Geospatial gives your team a competitive edge. Our advanced data acquisition services empower you to take on larger, more complex projects without overextending your staff or internal resources. 

Partnering with Direct Geospatial allows you to:

• Confidently bid on large-scale jobs with accurate, detailed site data
• Free up your field crews and CAD technicians for higher-value tasks
• Receive fast, reliable turnaround on:
  • Topographic surfaces
  • 3D models
  • CAD files

We act as an extension of your team, delivering precise geospatial data that keeps your projects moving efficiently. Whether you’re working under tight deadlines or scaling your operations, Direct Geospatial helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Every site is unique, and so are your data needs. Whether you’re working on a small survey or a multi-phase infrastructure project, Direct Geospatial is your trusted partner in precision data acquisition.
