5,361-Acre Surface Lignite Mine Site

DAS Acquired 15cm imagery and 4-6ppsm LiDAR data to provide an updated 2-ft contour map of the site’s permit area, including Aerial Triangulation, LiDAR data processing, and Stereo Compilation of visible surface improvements and breaklines. Deliverables included • 1"=100' Scale 2D and 3D planimetric mapping in AutoCAD DWG, 3D Two (2)-foot contour data in AutoCAD DWG, 3D DTM data (includes 3D planimetric features) in AutoCAD DWG, 0.50-foot ground resolution digital orthophotography in enhanced compression wavelet (ECW), Bare Earth LiDAR point file in LAS format, and Master point cloud LiDAR data (bare earth and all other points) in LAZ.

Municipal Landfill

As part of a 5-year contract to provide quarterly updated aerial mapping of the municipal landfill to support airspace monitoring, volume calculation, and change detection, DAS acquired 5cm - 7.5cm imagery and 2-4ppsm LiDAR data, including Aerial Triangulation, LiDAR data and/or ATE processing, and Stereo Compilation of visible surface improvements and breaklines. Deliverables included 1"=50' Scale planimetric mapping in AutoCAD DWG, one (1)-foot contour data in AutoCAD DWG, DTM data in AutoCAD DWG, 0.25-foot ground resolution digital orthophotography in ECW, and Color Prints-Photo Quality Paper.

Annual Update of 23 Landfill Sites in Multiple States

As part of a 3-year contract to provide annually updated aerial mapping of the municipal landfill sites to support airspace monitoring, volume calculation, and change detection, DAS acquired 5cm - 7.5cm imagery and 2-4ppsm LiDAR data, including Aerial Triangulation, ATE processing, and Stereo Compilation of visible surface improvements and breaklines. Deliverables included 1"=50' Scale planimetric mapping in AutoCAD DWG, one (1)-foot contour data in AutoCAD DWG, DTM data in AutoCAD DWG, 0.25-foot ground resolution digital orthophotography in ECW, and Color Prints-Photo Quality Paper.

Mining Use Cases

Our aerial mapping solutions are ideal for the remote nature and large operating area of open-pit mines and mega mining. Leverage DAS for every stage of mining, from permit mapping and ongoing site surveillance with the ability to detect and calculate volume changes in stockpiles and tailings. DAS can also assist your team with terrain analysis, drainage studies, and environmental mapping.

Landfill Use Cases

DAS helps landfill operators with preliminary site planning and assists with ongoing environmental monitoring of properties and airspace. Our aerial mapping solutions can also capture changes to fill and compaction, calculate volume changes, and assist with drainage studies.
