Aerial Intelligence For Bridge & Road Inspection
Bridge & Road Inspection
Garud Survey Private Limited provides comprehensive Bridge & Road Inspection services designed to support the safety, condition assessment, maintenance, and long-term management of transportation infrastructure. By combining field inspection expertise with advanced drone, LiDAR, photogrammetry, and geospatial technologies, we help infrastructure owners, engineering consultants, contractors, and government agencies obtain accurate and actionable information about bridges and road corridors.
Bridge LiDAR Survey
A Bridge LiDAR Survey provides highly detailed three-dimensional spatial information for bridge structures and their surrounding environment. LiDAR technology uses laser measurements to capture millions of points, creating a dense 3D point cloud that can be used to represent structural geometry and terrain.
Garud Survey can utilize drone-based LiDAR survey technology for applications such as bridge geometry mapping, deck and approach surveys, terrain mapping, clearance assessment, structural documentation, and as-built data collection.
Bridge LiDAR data can support the development of:
- High-density 3D point clouds
- Digital elevation and surface models
- Detailed bridge geometry
- Orthomosaic maps
- 3D bridge models
- Cross-sections and profiles
- Clearance and dimensional measurements
- As-built documentation
LiDAR is particularly useful where complex structures, vegetation, difficult terrain, or restricted-access areas make conventional surveying challenging.
