Orthomosaic maps, digital elevation models (DEM/DTM), 3D point clouds, and GCP-controlled georeferenced imagery — captured with RTK drone photogrammetry and delivered ready for your licensed engineer or mapping professional.
What We Do
Amped Aerial is an FAA Part 107 aerial data acquisition provider specializing in drone photogrammetry for construction, civil engineering, and land development projects. We handle the field side of the job — flight planning, GCP ground control placement, RTK/PPK data capture, and photogrammetric processing — and deliver georeferenced datasets in the formats your engineering and mapping partners need to do their work.
Projects can include georeferenced orthomosaic maps (GeoTIFF), digital elevation models (DEM, DTM, and DSM), dense 3D point clouds, contour lines, and volumetric reports. Outputs are delivered in industry-standard formats compatible with AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, DroneDeploy, and most civil engineering workflows. Whether you need a cut-and-fill earthwork analysis, a pre-construction topographic dataset, or ongoing construction progress documentation, we capture the data your project team needs.
In California, certifying contours, elevations, and positional accuracy is reserved for licensed professionals. Amped Aerial respects that boundary. We provide the aerial data acquisition — flight operations, sensors, and ground control — and your licensed engineer or mapping professional maintains responsible charge over the final deliverable. If you don't have a licensed professional on your project yet, we can recommend one of our trusted partners in Southern California.
Important: Amped Aerial LLC provides aerial data acquisition services only. We are not a state-licensed professional engineering firm, and our employees are not licensed engineers or land measurement professionals. Our deliverables are intended for use by your licensed professional. This is not a substitute for licensed engineering or land measurement services.
What You Receive
Orthomosaic Maps (GeoTIFF)
GCP-controlled georeferenced imagery stitched from overlapping aerial photos and prepared for GIS or CAD import.
Digital Elevation Models (DEM / DTM / DSM)
Terrain surface models showing ground elevation, slope, and contour data for grading design, drainage analysis, and civil engineering planning.
3D Point Clouds (LAS / LAZ)
Dense photogrammetric point clouds compatible with AutoCAD Civil 3D, ArcGIS, Global Mapper, and most engineering workflows.
Contour Lines
1-foot or 2-foot interval contour lines derived from elevation data — ready for your licensed engineer to review and certify.
Volumetric Reports
Cut-and-fill calculations and stockpile volume estimates from aerial data — ideal for earthwork and grading projects.
KMZ / Shapefile Exports
Georeferenced overlays for Google Earth, ArcGIS, and GIS platforms — useful for site planning, permitting, and stakeholder review.
