“Terra Remote has always been a responsible and responsible and reliable LiDAR data provider, and will continue to be our preferred sub-contractor for these services. ”
Government Agencies
Terra Remote works directly with Federal, provincial, state and First Nations governments to deliver data that supports transportation infrastructure, land and marine management, environmental initiatives and disaster response along with other agency projects. Through various multi-year contracts, Terra has maintained rapid response capabilities in order to mobilize, map and provide expedited results to aid in the management of disasters such as forest fires, landslides and flooding events.
“Throughout the course of the LiDAR program, Terra has adhered to project schedules, has responded to requests in a timely fashion, met or exceeded data specifications, and maintained safe operations”
Transportation
Working with the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, Terra has developed a methodology using aerial LiDAR to collect “near design quality” topographic data and planimetry. Many of the highways in British Columbia are in steep dynamic terrain. Using LiDAR allows the Ministry the ability to monitor road conditions in a safe and cost-effective manner.
“Terra has also demonstrated a strong commitment to safety and has worked closely with [our] staff to ensure safe operations occur throughout the project. Large-scale projects of this nature are inherently complex. However having a strong relationship with an experienced provider that is willing to ensure quality service has helped the project unfold smoothly. ”
Mining
LiDAR has become an important tool in the mining industry, from exploration through site development to operations, as downtime is very costly. Open pit mines are a complex network of haul roads and they are typically very unstable. With a dense LiDAR map, the mine operator can anticipate and monitor problem areas like oversteepened banks, slope failure and road degradation.
“The challenges of the terrain in British Columbia have not prevented Terra Remote in capturing our data in a timely and safe manner.”
Environmental
Terra has been involved with projects centered around forestry, climate change mitigation and adaptation, including urban vegetation change detection, floodplain mapping and salmon habitat restoration and monitoring projects. Through the use of cutting-edge remote sensing technology, a more comprehensive understanding of the environment can be achieved, allowing for precise monitoring, resource application and project management.
“Compared to other vendors we have used, Terra Remote consistently produces a better product with a quick turnaround at a reasonable price.”
