Lidar
Leaders in LIDAR Surveying
LIDAR (Light Imaging, Detection and Ranging) survey technology is a remote sensing method used to examine and measure ground surfaces. It measures the distance to a target by illuminating the target with a pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. It is unique in its ability to penetrate thick vegetation, which in many instances was previously inaccessible using traditional survey methods. LIDAR surveying is often collected from the air, most commonly using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), however it can be deployed using a range of static and moving techniques.
The Benefits of LIDAR
LIDAR survey technology can significantly increase accuracy, time and return on investment. Benefits include:
Significant reduction in survey cost and time, allowing projects to maintain critical path (and in some instances return projects to schedule)
Data mapping through thick vegetation and unstable and steep terrain
Access to restricted and unsafe land zones
Improved processing times
Ability to capture a high degree of detail
Quality assured, spatially accurate and easily comparable databases
LIDAR surveying is ideal for mapping inaccessible areas such as bushland and disaster zones, as well as public areas with high traffic. LIDAR survey technology is particularly applicable to GIS teams as it can provide highly detailed information. For example, automated tree, power line and pot hole data extraction, including:
Tree crown diameter
Tree trunk diameter
Tree height
Tree head clearance
Tree/power line overhang of property boundaries
Power line / tree clearance
Clash with power lines or tree encroachment
Our LIDAR platform can be attached to the Following.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
Motor Vehicle/Mobile Mapper
Boat
Wearable Mobile Mapping
UAV/Drone Aerial Surveying
Leaders in UAV Surveying
Utilising purpose built, ultra-light weight aircraft piloted remotely by highly trained experts, Linke & Linke Surveys can survey vast areas with significantly reduced cost and resources to create highly accurate maps that provide valuable data across a wide range of client requirements.
The Benefits of UAV
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) surveying can be incorporated into any Project information and reporting requirement. UAVs are ideal for land surveying projects as they can significantly increase accuracy, time and return on investment. Benefits include:
Highly accurate, high-definition maps created in a fraction of the time as compared to traditional methods
A multitude of flexible and tailored data is more easily gathered by the UAV including photography, LIDAR and video, significantly reducing labour requirements
All information can be instantly uploaded to a central point where it can be securely accessed from anywhere in the world
Easier access to difficult/remote or dangerous locations to reduce cost and safety risk
Precise volume calculations of complex surfaces
UAV Key Features
Some of the key features that can be generated by UAV surveying include (but are not limited to):
High resolution spatially correct photogrammetry image in 3D pdf format, enabling coordinates and distances to be measured
Orthographic Photo
Colourised Mesh Model
Point Cloud
Google Earth Tiles for easy viewing
UAV platform with 8kg payload capacity
These are just a few of the reasons why this technology has been so important to the surveying industry. Linke & Linke Surveys remain at the forefront of UAV usage in Australia and continue to research the latest in technology and systems to continue improving UAV survey services for client cost and outcome benefits.
3D Laser Scanning

Survey Control Networks
Exceptional Accuracy Guaranteed
Survey Control provides the physical positional framework for spatially referenced projects. This is a requirement for all survey applications such as surveys for design, construction set-out and cadastral backgrounds.
The specific types of Survey Control implemented will vary depending on the required application or project requirement. These include Geodetic control surveys which are typically performed to establish a control network (framework) from which supplemental surveying and mapping work are performed. Horizontal geodetic control networks utilising GPS and Total Station to provide positional information.
Monitoring
Accurate and Consistent Monitoring Solutions
Linke & Linke Surveys undertake monitoring surveys to identify movement or deformation in any environment using precise Survey instruments. Our monitoring techniques are highly scalable and we can map small changes in vertical movement, or full 3D XYZ coordinate differences in either real-time or over long periods to demonstrate changes and trends.
Some of the Monitoring solutions that can be implemented include:
Installation of ground support monitoring systems
Rock mass movement
Performance of ground support and correct installation procedure
Pavement Monitoring
Rail and Platform monitoring
Settlement monitoring in preload area
2D and 3D measurement and modelling
Any Structure
Monitoring may be required by statutory authorities on large projects, particularly when projects are close to sensitive structures (e.g. heritage buildings), services or built-up areas).

Thermography
About Drone Thermal Imaging
Our aerial thermal imaging surveys can detect and accurately locate faulty cells, string-errors, organic debris, defective diodes and PID faults on solar farm installations. Our drones conduct technical inspections using specialist, purpose-built thermal imaging cameras that are an ideal solution for identifying thermal anomalies and maximising energy production.
Faulty cells operate at a temperature (hot or cold) different to that of normal cells, meaning we can easily pin-point the location of cell faults either by GPS – referenced to a site map – or by using graphical overlays. Thermal imaging cameras are capable of detecting minor temperature differences caused by stray currents in crystalline photovoltaic modules (known as potential induced performance degradation or PID). Defects can include:
Modules in open circuit
Modules in short circuit
Broken glass
Solar cell string short circuit
Cell failure
Dirt on cell/string/modules
Linke & Linke Surveys have multiple trained Level 1 Certified Infrared Thermographers– which meet the requirements for undertaking infrared solar farm surveys to IEC 62446-3:2017: Non-Destructive Testing – Outdoor Infrared Thermography of Photovoltaic Modules and Plants
