Strategic Project Planning
Planimetric Mapping helps with strategic project planning, reduces unforeseen issues, allocates resources efficiently, and saves time. Our detailed maps make complex features easier to manage, leading to smarter decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
Efficient Risk Management
With LETEL’s accurate surface feature depiction, projects benefit from effective risk management, minimizing unexpected field conditions and disruptions. This accuracy is crucial for reliable cost estimation and risk mitigation, keeping projects aligned with budgets and timelines.
FAQs
What is a planimetric survey?
A planimetric survey captures the horizontal positions of visible surface features, such as roads, buildings, curbs, and utilities, without elevation data. As a trusted aerial lidar company, Letel uses aerial LiDAR and drone imagery to produce planimetric surveys that meet ASPRS accuracy standards for engineering and GIS applications.
What is a planimetric control survey and when do I need one?
A planimetric control survey establishes the ground-control framework that ties all mapped features to a certified coordinate system. It is required for transportation projects, municipal GIS databases, and construction permitting where spatial accuracy must be verified and documented.
How does your planimetric mapping service work?
Letel mobilizes drone or aerial LiDAR over your project area, processes the point cloud into georeferenced imagery, and extracts planimetric features into CAD or GIS deliverables. Most projects receive final planimetric maps within 5 to 10 business days of flight completion.

West Sandtown
Planimetric mapping is two-dimensional representations of the Earth’s surface to show the location and spatial arrangement of features such as roads, building footprints, and bodies of water. This type of map simply depicts features horizontally and vertically and the accurate distances between them, by drawing lines around both man-made and natural features. These features are […]
