Darling Geomatics is an award winning leader in UAV (drone) and ground-based surveying and mapping, 3D laser scanning (LiDAR), 3D modeling and thermography Tucson relies on to deliver repeatable and measurable geospatial data. We serve construction, engineering, mining, energy, airport, healthcare and sports clients worldwide. Our unique qualifications include over 22 years of land surveying, 16 years in 3D scanning and modeling, three years of UAV expertise and a solution-oriented approach to meet our client's needs.

How do we do this? We specialize in pre-construction and construction survey layouts using the most cost-effective survey tools coupled with professional expertise that sets us apart.

Darling's 3D scanning and UAV (drone) services save civil engineering projects substantial time and money. With an accurate 3D scanning model or aerial data showing the as-is conditions, we help you cut overall design and construction time, avoid costly RFI's and construction delays and provide precise volumetric and topographic information. 3D scanning and UAV (drone) surveying are fast and safe ways to capture as-built information needed for road and bridge design, inspection, and monitoring. Darling can completely document congested roadways without interrupting traffic flow.

Our wildlife and fisheries biologists, botanists, planners, ecologists, naturalists and other experts work with all aspects of environmental consulting from on-the-ground surveys to complex environmental analysis, document writing, and acquisition of environmental permits. For any kind of project you have, we will apply our decades of experience to select the best tools to provide accurate, complete information in the most cost-effective manner for your project. We combine the environmental and surveying sciences to offer GIS data collection to prepare extraordinarily detailed maps using professional grade sub-centimeter Trimble GPS, 3D scanning with images with +/- 6 millimeter accuracy, drones, AutoCAD drawings and ESRI shape files.

Our team of professional, registered surveyors has decades of experience worldwide and selects the best tools to save you time and money by doing the job right the first time. We offer a multi-disciplined approach that integrates precision surveying techniques, 3D scanning and our diverse surveying experience to deliver accurate measurements for your project. It doesn't matter what kind of job you're working on, we've probably successfully completed dozens of similar projects and can apply our experience to your project.

Our world-class experience with drone surveys integrates precision surveying with the latest UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) technologies, making your project more accurate, safer, and more affordable from day one. UAV technology vastly reduces the time spent collecting millions of accurate survey data points in one brief flight, reducing project time from weeks to days. A drone surveying company can help maximize efficiency. By speeding up and simplifying the data collection process, the time that used to be spent on data acquisition can be better spent on analyzing more comprehensive data and on strategic planning.
