Project Overview

Pre-construction site survey and terrain analysis for a 200MW solar power project.

The Challenge

The client needed detailed terrain data for optimal solar panel placement, drainage planning, and earthwork calculations. Site access was limited due to rough terrain and the large area needed rapid assessment.

Our Solution

High-resolution drone surveys captured topographic data across the entire site. Slope analysis identified optimal panel orientations. Cut-fill calculations were performed for site leveling requirements.

Key Results

Generated terrain model with 5cm vertical accuracy

Optimized panel layout for 3% higher energy yield

Calculated 450,000 cubic meters of earthwork

Identified natural drainage patterns for stormwater management

Reduced site assessment time from 6 weeks to 2 weeks
