Alternative Energy
Alternative energy farms can be hundreds of square miles. Due to their size, planning and designing wind or solar farms can be a daunting task. Surveying large areas of land presents numerous challenges and understanding civil engineering disciplines such as floodplain and stormwater management are critical.
Ascent Geomatics is uniquely positioned to help alternative energy companies because of their expertise in surveying, civil engineering, environmental, GIS, UAVs and High Definition LiDAR scanning. Bringing together cutting-edge technology and expertise allows Ascent to provide the world-class solutions to the alternative energy sector.
Site Planning
Before designing and constructing large energy farms, collect up-to-date aerial imagery and photogrammetry to understand the topography.
Survey Faster
Surveying hundreds of square miles can take a long time and increase the chance of errors. Ascent utilizes UAVs to survey large areas of land which allows them to survey in fractions of the time it would take with traditional techniques.
3D Marketing
Use 3D visualization models for before and after comparison, design to topographic overlay, or for marketing purposes with investors.

Upstream oil & gas operators have one simple goal: find and drill hydrocarbons. To do this, operators must navigate the regulatory gauntlet to receive their necessary permits. Without the proper expertise and experience, operators can lose valuable time and possibly even lose the location itself to another operator.
Extended Text for Popup: The ability to manage all your assets is critical to running an efficient organization. Having the ability to view floodplain, wildlife and/or utility lines can help operators better plan their sites for Surface Use Agreements (SUA).
Viewing up-to-date aerial imagery can help save companies thousands of dollars by avoiding previously unforeseen challenges at the site location.
Most oil & gas operators will create as-built drawings for their well pads, pipelines, facilities and any other construction related projects. ASCENT has completed thousands of as-built surveys and drawings for our clients. Our extensive experience has taught us the most efficient and cost effective ways to create these as-built deliverables.
When companies are looking to design, or modify a facility, there is no reason not to use LiDAR technology. LiDAR provides design-grade accuracy with 3D modeling to see how the facility will look after construction.
Pipeline projects can cost millions of dollars. Missing the project timelines can cost midstream operators even more money. That is why planning on the front-end of the project is so important.
Longer pipeline corridors can take a significant amount of time to create topographic surveys with traditional methods. With aerial LiDAR, ASCENT can significantly reduce the time it takes to create these topographic surveys while providing a tremendous amount of useful data. This highly accurate pre-construction LiDAR data can then be married with highly accurate after-built LiDAR data to determine the precision of the planned and constructed pipeline.
