Extend Your Survey Crew
Without Expanding Payroll

GeoForge delivers turnkey drone mapping and LiDAR services for surveying firms. Our ready‑to‑fly program supplies CAD‑ready data sets—accurate, QA‑checked, and ready for a licensed surveyor’s seal.
Unlock immediate aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry capacity—no capital expenditure, no staffing headaches. GeoForge handles everything from mission planning to final CAD deliverables so your surveyors can focus on analysis, staking, and signing.

Why Surveyors Choose GeoForge

FLY

Ready-to-fly Fleet

Fully insured, Part 107‑certified pilots with survey‑grade LiDAR & RGB sensors (DJI L1 & P1, GNSS‑integrated).

Survey-grade Accuracy

< 1.5 cm horizontal / < 3 cm vertical RMSE, verified with independently leveled ground control.

Standards‑Aligned Workflow

Conforms to ACSM, FGDC, NGS, and state board requirements—so your PLS can stamp with confidence.

CAD‑Ready Deliverables

LAS 1.4 (classified), surface TIN/DSM/DTM, breaklines, contours, Civil 3D & MicroStation templates, shapefiles, GeoTIFFs.

Transparent QA/QC

Full FGDC‑compliant accuracy report, control photo log, and complete metadata package.

DEPATURES

Scalable Capacity

From 10‑acre in‑fill lots to 2,000‑acre corridor projects—rapid mobilization anywhere in the Southeast & Gulf Coast.

Our Ready‑to‑Fly Drone Program

  • Equipment & Airspace Compliance – Redundant UAV platforms, PPK/RTK GNSS, ASTM F3548‑21 remote ID, and robust ops manuals.
  • Flight Planning & Safety – Pre‑flight risk assessment, NOTAM filing, LAANC coordination, and Job Safety Analysis delivered to your PM the day before launch.
  • Data Capture – Simultaneous LiDAR & photogrammetry (where helpful) to maximize point density and colorize LAS files.
  • Secure Data Chain – All processing happens in-house, not in the cloud.
  • Students of Surveying—Deliverables You Can Seal

Students of Surveying—Deliverables You Can Seal

We aren’t just drone operators—we’re survey technologists. Our founder is in the Survey Engineering B.S. program at the University of Maine - a top-rated institution for surveying.  Our processing team trains continuously in NGS Guidelines for Geospatial Accuracy, TerraSolid workflows, and Civil 3D surface modeling techniques. Each project is:

  • Classified & Cleaned – Ground, non‑ground, water, low/high noise classes.
  • Modeled – Grid of points + breaklines → surface TIN, contours at your requested interval.
  • Georeferenced – To your coordinate system (State Plane, UTM, or localized site control).
  • Packaged – DWG, DXF, XML, and LAS deliverables pre‑layered for immediate import into your CAD template.

Result: Your licensed surveyor reviews, signs, and seals—no re‑work, no surprises.


Proven Workflow

  1. Kick‑Off Workshop – Define accuracy, control, and deliverable standards.
  2. Control & Check Points – Set/verify targets with dual‑frequency GNSS.
  3. Acquisition – Drone flights scheduled for optimal sun angle & airspace windows.
  4. Post‑Processing & Adjustment – PPK trajectory, strip‑align, classify, surface modeling.
  5. QA/QC & Peer Review – RMSE report, control residuals, internal peer check.
  6. Preliminary Delivery – Quick turnaround (.las + low‑res ortho) for your review.
  7. Final Delivery & Support – Final CAD package, metadata, and a live hand‑off session.
