LiDAR analysis of energy networks to detect risk areas for new fiber-optic lines in compliance with current regulations.
Many managers or topography technicians of engineering companies may come across projects like this one:
An electric company wants to build a wind or solar farm, and for this it needs, among other things, a LiDAR mapping of the terrain.
If this type of project interests you, in this article we analyze the details and actions to take into account from the point of view of a LiDAR company specialized in mapping.
If you are reading this, perhaps it is because on more than one occasion you have needed to carry out projects that require lidar or photogrammetric flight, digital terrain model (DTM) generation, contour lines, mapping or profiles, among others. If so, this is the article for you.
Since in Dielmo 3D we are specialists in the realization of mapping of a high level of detail, both through LiDAR and photogrammetry, we have decided to analyze from our point of view, how is the realization of a project of this magnitude. Giving relevant information for the realization of your own mapping project, or simply sharing the news, actions and key points in the realization of these projects.
The project consists in the realization of a precision mapping of a study area for renewable engineering applications, which is then used to design where the wind farm is going to be built and where each of the elements are going to go.
From our point of view, these types of projects come to Dielmo 3D through engineering companies, which may or may not be specialized in classical surveying for many years. But the reality is that more and more, classical surveying is giving way to modern methods, and sometimes engineering companies do not have a dedicated team, for example, to photogrammetric or Lidar flights using drones.
And it is in this type of projects using LiDAR or photogrammetry, where Dielmo 3D brings a great added value, thanks to our experience and our team of professionals.
A recent case of success that we can use as an example came to us through a project created by a Spanish electric company, with presence throughout the country, which not only had the need for a mapping, but this should have shorter delivery times, tighter prices and speed of service. In this way, at the end of the project, it could have a much higher level of detail in a shorter time.
In this type of projects, such as the one we have introduced in the previous example, the managers or topography technicians of engineering companies may find themselves, in some cases, in need of an external company capable of drawing a cartography under the conditions imposed by the electric company.
Since the need to obtain technical and precise information to implement their project is fundamental, they turn to the service of Dielmo 3D, who has the capacity to plan the future actions of the project with centimeter precision.
They need an expert company to do the mapping of what exists, quickly and with adjusted prices, in order to carry out the project.
The product delivered to the electric company is a detailed cartography with the existing elements of the exact place where the work is to be carried out, as well as its immediate surroundings.
The way we realize such a product is:
Starting from an area of interest and a list of needs, Dielmo 3D (or the collaborating flight company) plans the flight to make sure that the whole area is covered with enough quality and accuracy, to obtain the products that the final customer needs.
Once the data has been flown, Dielmo 3D is in charge of generating the final products (Digital Terrain Model, mapping of the area, etc.).
(Digital Terrain Model, precision mapping from point cloud and orthophotos, profiles, etc.).
On many occasions, setbacks arise that need to be solved quickly and efficiently. Some of the most common blockages we encounter when mapping like this are due to unplanned blockages that require a joint search for a solution between Dielmo 3D and the engineering company.
There are many alternatives, but in our experience, sometimes it is necessary to get to the point of using another technology before resuming flight to continue capturing data, and this is where having the security of working in the company of a specialist company like Dielmo 3D gives you an advantage over the rest.
In many occasions, mapping projects require LiDAR flights or photogrammetry after traditional mapping.
If you want to carry out this kind of projects without having to worry about the final result or the possible setbacks in the process, Dielmo 3D has the capacity and experience to carry it out in the shortest time possible, with the guarantee of having carried out many similar projects in the past.

Recently, we have made a 1:500 mapping for the Port Authority of Cartagena and we want to show you all the ins and outs of the project. Let's go ahead and tell you about it...
Every day photogrammetric cameras are becoming cheaper, lighter, more accurate and more flexible, which is allowing companies from all over the world to start in the business of performing photogrammetric flights from drones, helicopters or airplanes. So much so that the market has gone from a few large specialized companies to thousands of new players.
