Our Core Services

We work with engineering firms, municipalities, agricultural operators, and private landowners throughout Idaho and the Intermountain West on projects that require data quality and clarity.

  • Horizon GeoData provides survey-controlled UAV mapping for engineering, infrastructure, and land management applications. All aerial datasets are tied to GNSS-based ground control to ensure centimeter-level positional accuracy and compatibility with established coordinate systems.

    Workflows are structured to produce repeatable, design-ready spatial datasets suitable for measurement, modeling, and analysis.

    Applications

    • Topographic surveys

    • Site development mapping

    • Corridor mapping

    • Construction progress documentation

    • Earthwork and stockpile analysis

    • Orthomosaic generation

    Deliverables

    • Survey-controlled orthomosaics

    • Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and Digital Surface Models (DSM)

    • Contours and breakline extraction

    • Volume calculations

    • CAD-ready (DWG/DXF) files

    • GIS-ready datasets

  • Horizon GeoData provides mobile SLAM LiDAR mapping for high-density 3D data capture in GNSS-constrained or complex surface environments. Mobile workflows allow rapid acquisition of infrastructure corridors, municipal features, and industrial sites with minimal operational disruption.

    Datasets can be tied to established survey control when required to ensure alignment with engineering coordinate systems.

    • Registered 3D point clouds (LAS/LAZ)

    • Extracted breaklines and feature models

    • Surface models

    • Cross-sections and profiles

    • CAD-ready outputs

  • Horizon GeoData provides safety-focused SLAM LiDAR mapping for underground mines, active headings, stopes, drifts, and confined infrastructure. Workflows are designed to reduce personnel exposure while generating high-density spatial datasets in GNSS-denied environments.

    The platform includes the Emesent Hovermap ST-X, enabling accurate 3D data capture in complex underground conditions. Datasets can be tied to established survey control for integration with mine coordinate systems.

    Applications

    • Development heading mapping

    • Stope and drift documentation

    • Overbreak and underbreak analysis

    • Deformation monitoring

    • Ground condition and structural mapping

    • Engineering-grade surface models

    • Volume and reconciliation reports

    • Cross-sections and deviation analysis

    • CAD-ready and GIS-integrated datasets

    Horizon GeoData delivers structured spatial documentation that supports operational safety, compliance, and defensible recordkeeping.

  • Horizon GeoData provides survey-controlled UAV mapping, mobile LiDAR acquisition, and CAD/GIS production services for irrigation systems and water infrastructure networks. All datasets are collected and processed using GNSS-based control to ensure positional accuracy and coordinate system compatibility.

    Workflows are designed to generate repeatable spatial datasets supporting infrastructure assessment, hydraulic evaluation, and asset management.

  • Horizon GeoData provides survey-aligned aerial mapping and multispectral data acquisition to support precision agriculture, irrigation management, and land stewardship initiatives. Agricultural workflows are deployed as project-driven engagements and scaled according to operational demand.

    Multispectral data collection is supported through integration of the Sentera 65R and Sentera 6X, enabling high-resolution vegetation index analysis and field variability assessment. Standard UAV mapping services remain available for terrain modeling, irrigation infrastructure documentation, and drainage evaluation.

    Applications

    • NDVI and vegetation index mapping

    • Field variability and crop health assessment

    • Irrigation efficiency analysis

    • Drainage and grading evaluation

    • Field boundary documentation

    • Seasonal and temporal change detection

    Deliverables

    • Survey-controlled orthomosaics

    • Vegetation index maps (NDVI and related indices)

    • Digital Terrain Models for water flow assessment

    • GIS-ready prescription layers

    • Field-level comparative analysis reports

    Agricultural datasets are structured for integration with farm management systems, irrigation planning tools, and GIS-based decision workflows.

“I believe effective geospatial work is defined by three principles: accuracy that can be defended, documentation that can be repeated, and deliverables that reduce uncertainty.”
