The problem

Land you cannot walk, at a scale you cannot sample.

Agricultural holdings are large, uneven and frequently inaccessible on foot. Decisions about drainage, terracing, yield and replanting get made from sparse observation, or from imagery that shows colour but carries no measurable height.

Aerial LiDAR measures the ground under the canopy as well as the canopy itself. That gives terrain you can engineer against and canopy you can monitor, from the same flight.

What we do

What an aerial survey produces.

Canopy models

Canopy height and structure, measured rather than inferred from colour.

Terrain under canopy

Ground surface beneath vegetation, for drainage and terracing decisions.

Change over time

Repeat flights quantify growth, clearing and earth movement between visits.

How it runs

Built for regional mobilisation.

Agricultural holdings sit across the region, so the engagement starts with the ground rules: permitting, mobilisation and local operating requirements differ by country, and all three are settled before anything is quoted. Tell us the location and the decision the data has to support, and we will scope the flight around both.

About land survey
What Volumet provides
  • Flight planning and permitting appropriate to the country
  • Aerial capture and processing by our team
  • Terrain, canopy and volume deliverables
  • Scoped quote within one business day
What Volumet does not claim
  • Cadastral or boundary survey, which is the statutory preserve of a Registered Surveyor, and which we refer
  • PE-endorsed structural certification: we document condition, a Professional Engineer signs off adequacy
  • QP submission sign-off: we produce the drawings and models, your Qualified Person submits them
  • Guaranteed absolute survey-grade accuracy: around 1 cm relative at device level, and the real number depends on the whole chain

Agricultural capture, answered.

Where do you operate for agricultural work?
Across the region. Agricultural engagements are typically in Malaysia, Indonesia and neighbouring countries, and are mobilised from Singapore. Tell us the location and we will confirm permitting and logistics for it.
Can LiDAR see the ground through a canopy?
Partly, and that is its advantage over photogrammetry. Some pulses reach the ground between foliage, which allows a terrain model beneath the canopy. How well it works depends on canopy density, and we set expectations for your specific site.
How do permits work outside Singapore?
They differ by country, and that is established before we quote rather than assumed. Where local regulation requires a local operator, we say so, and that shapes whether the engagement makes sense at all.
What decisions does this data usually support?
Drainage and terracing design, replanting planning, yield monitoring across seasons, and earth movement quantification. If your decision is not on that list, tell us what it is before commissioning a flight.
