Engineering-Grade Spatial Data Services

ARO Aerial offers engineering-grade spatial data services for civil, structural, environmental, and MEP engineers. Through targeted drone mapping, bare-earth LiDAR, and quantitative thermal imaging, we provide engineering-grade topographic data, corridor mapping, volumetric analysis, and performance assessments — all delivered on your coordinate system and formatted for Civil 3D and regulatory submissions. We work as a specialty aerial partner to your survey and design teams: your surveyors set control and seal the work, and we deliver the data, under your firm's name if you prefer.
