DRONE & LIDAR SURVEYING FOR EARTHWORKS & UTILITIES


High-Precision Terrain Intelligence for Faster, Safer, Smarter Execution

GCS-Project management.jpg

At GCS AI+, we deploy drones equipped with high-resolution LiDAR and photogrammetry sensors to revolutionize how earthworks, grading, and utility layouts are planned, monitored, and managed.

This AI-enhanced aerial surveying solution delivers centimeter-grade accuracy, fast coverage of large and inaccessible areas, and deep analytical insight for construction teams and engineers — all while minimizing site disruption.

  • Ideal for large, complex, or inaccessible sites

 
Earthwork Volume Calculations
  • AI-powered comparison between “cut” and “fill” zones

  • Quantify volumes with precision for planning and billing

  • Monitor excavation and backfilling in real time

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Utility Corridor Mapping & Clash Avoidance
  • Survey utility trenches, pipe alignments, and ducts

  • Overlay as-built utility data with design models

  • Identify potential clashes or deviations early

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
​​
Progress Monitoring & Compliance Tracking
  • Periodic drone flights to create as-built progression models

  • Time-series analysis to verify work completion and tolerances

  • Automated reporting for project managers and regulators

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
AI Integration
  • AI algorithms for automated feature extraction (roads, embankments, pipes)

  • Change detection and anomaly alerts

  • Cloud-based analysis platforms for fast decision-making

By combining drones, LiDAR, and AI, we provide the data-rich foundation required for smarter decisions in earthworks and underground utilities. Our surveys are not only faster and safer — they offer the intelligence needed to optimize resource use, reduce rework, and accelerate project delivery.
