Terrestrial LiDAR is a powerful technology used to capture high‑resolution, three‑dimensional representations of infrastructure, landscapes, and engineered assets.
Using ground‑based laser scanning systems – either static or mobile – terrestrial LiDAR provides dense point‑cloud data that supports precise measurements, condition assessment, digital twin development, and engineering analysis. It is especially valuable in environments where high accuracy is required or where aerial surveys may be limited, such as tunnels, underpasses, bridges, industrial facilities, and confined or complex areas.
Sixense integrates terrestrial LiDAR within its broader digital acquisition offering, which includes LiDAR, scanning, and photogrammetric data collection from platforms such as vehicles, drones, helicopters, and static ground units.
Sixense provides a comprehensive suite of terrestrial LiDAR services, including high‑density mobile mapping, static laser scanning, 3D surveys, and integration of LiDAR with imaging technologies for enhanced documentation and inspection. Our mobile mapping solutions allow rapid surveying of large or difficult‑to‑access areas using vehicle‑mounted LiDAR systems, delivering topographic accuracy and detailed digital inventories without disrupting operations.
These services support applications such as infrastructure monitoring, industrial asset documentation, urban environment mapping, metrological inspections, and heritage digitisation. Combined with their advanced data processing, classification, and segmentation tools, Sixense ensures that LiDAR outputs are delivered in formats optimised for engineering, construction, and asset management workflows.
Our experience in LiDAR acquisition is extensive, with more than 20 to 30 years of operational knowledge across our global team.
Sixense Helimap, a key part of the group, has been delivering LiDAR and photogrammetry services since 2005, with operations spanning across 50 countries and more than 1,000 completed projects, including terrestrial mobile LiDAR surveys.
Our systems have supported over 3,000 km of LiDAR‑based infrastructure surveys and thousands of kilometres of mobile mapping projects worldwide, demonstrating strong expertise in both terrestrial and aerial LiDAR deployment. With proprietary technologies, rapid mobilisation capability, and a multidisciplinary understanding of geospatial acquisition, Sixense consistently delivers high‑precision LiDAR datasets that enable clients to make informed decisions throughout an asse
