Project Overview
Project Overview
Qiddiya is Saudi Arabia’s entertainment mega-project spanning 367 km². We conducted comprehensive drone surveys to create detailed digital terrain models for development planning.
The Challenge
Planning theme parks, golf courses, and motorsport facilities requires precise terrain data. Traditional surveying would take years and lack the detail needed for complex attractions.
Our Solution
We deployed a large-scale drone mapping operation:
- LiDAR Scanning: High-density point cloud capture
- Photogrammetry: 4K aerial imagery for texturing
- Terrain Analysis: Slope, drainage, and cut/fill calculations
- 3D Modeling: Complete digital twin of the development site
Results
- 367 km² mapped with centimeter accuracy
- 75% faster than traditional surveying
- $5M savings in survey costs
- Complete DTM/DSM for all planning needs
