Light Detection & Ranging (LIDAR) Services
Rice Associates is an innovative firm that utilizes the latest in technology and our capabilities include high definition ground based LIDAR scanning with Leica's ScanStation 2™.

LIDAR Delivers Survey-Grade Accuracy

This state-of-the-art scanner delivers survey-grade accuracy on projects of all types and sizes. We utilize this technology to perform remotely based physical surveys of areas that are inaccessible, congested or hazardous thereby improving worker safety.

Rice Associates has professional registrants in six states and the District of Columbia.

With a full field-of-view, the operator can scan 360° in the horizontal plane and 270° in the vertical plane. Dependant upon project type, field work can be completed in as little as 25 percent of the time required for a conventional survey.

Hundreds of Thousands
of Points are Captured

Unlike conventional methods, literally hundreds of thousands of points are captured in a single scan session and dependent upon specific client needs scan densities can be adjusted in the field.

Up to 50,000 points per second can be captured at the peak density setting. Survey data can be delivered in field format or processed in the office to produce CAD models. This scanning application extends to roads, bridges, buildings, manufacturing plants, quarries, stock piles, and parking structures in addition to numerous other project types.
