LiDAR & Reality Capture for Modern Surveying
James Verra & Associates, Inc. has expanded its surveying capabilities with the addition of mobile LiDAR reality capture technology, allowing us to document existing conditions with increased speed, accuracy, and detail. This technology elevates our surveying services and provides a more complete understanding of complex sites.
JVA is among the first land surveying firms in New Hampshire and Maine to implement mobile LiDAR reality capture—reinforcing our commitment to precision, efficiency, and innovation.
What Is LiDAR Reality Capture?
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a surveying technology that uses laser measurements to capture millions of precise data points in a short period of time. When collected using a mobile system, LiDAR can rapidly document buildings, roadways, utilities, and terrain while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
The result is a detailed, three-dimensional digital representation of real-world conditions that can be used for surveying, planning, design, and analysis.
NavVis Mobile LiDAR Technology
JVA has chosen NavVis mobile LiDAR reality capture systems, an industry-leading platform known for its accuracy, efficiency, and data quality. NavVis technology allows us to capture dense, survey-grade data in environments that are difficult, time-consuming, or disruptive to document using traditional methods alone.
The system combines LiDAR scanning, imagery, and positioning technology to create highly detailed spatial data that can be reviewed, measured, and analyzed long after the fieldwork is complete. This enables project teams to revisit sites virtually and extract additional information without repeated site visits.
Mobile LiDAR reality capture provides significant advantages for many projects, particularly those involving large areas, active sites, or complex infrastructure.
We intend for LiDAR reality capture to become an integrated part of JVA’s surveying process. All data is collected, processed, and interpreted under the direction of licensed land surveyors and combined with traditional surveying methods as required by the project.
This approach ensures that LiDAR-derived information meets professional standards and is suitable for use in design, planning, and decision-making.
LiDAR reality capture is particularly well suited for:
- Municipal streets, corridors, and infrastructure
- Existing conditions surveys
- Commercial and industrial sites
- Utility and right-of-way mapping
- Urban and constrained environments
- Volumetric and surface modeling
Benefits include:
- Rapid data collection across large or congested sites
- Reduced time spent in traffic corridors and active environments
- Minimal disruption to operations and the public
- Highly detailed, repeatable, and measurable data
- Improved coordination between surveyors, engineers, and designers
- Faster and safer in high traffic areas
One-stop for a wide range of surveying needs.
Backed by decades of experience and modern surveying technology.
