Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) topography
This is a new technology we are going to use in a wind farm we are going to build in Chile. The area that we need is too small to make LIDAR topography cost effective, but too big to use standard field topography: with this new solution we can have the needed data for a…

Wind Farm LIDAR topography
LIDAR topography is the best available solution available nowadays. We have used it in several wind farms and I’m enthusiast of the results. It can be used to define earthworks with great precision. Basically it is made with an airplane flying with a laser, a digital camera and a GPS. The laser “sweep” the requested…

Wind farms projects using Google Earth topography
One of the biggest problems in wind farms preliminary projects is the lack of a reliable topography. Due to the tight budgets developers are often working with, it is often impossible to obtain a good topography (like the ones you can get with a LIDAR instrumented flight) or at list a decent one (as the…
