LiDAR You Can Build On

Who We Are

With over three decades of experience, BB Aerial Surveyors provides end-to-end, high-precision aerial mapping solutions—from planning and data acquisition to analysis and final deliverables. Our fixed-wing LiDAR technology enables large-scale coverage with unmatched speed and centimetre-level accuracy, serving Africa’s most ambitious projects across diverse industries.

Our Expertise

Cutting-Edge Technology

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is one of the most advanced geospatial technologies available today, using laser pulses from the air to capture billions of precise elevation points in minutes. Unlike traditional surveys, fixed-wing LiDAR delivers centimetre-level accuracy across vast, complex terrains—whether dense vegetation, rugged landscapes, or urban corridors. This unmatched combination of speed, scale, and precision provides engineering-grade data that empowers smarter planning, safer designs, and faster project delivery.

What We Do

BB Aerial Surveyors is a South Africa’s leading fixed-wing LiDAR survey firm, delivering high-precision data for power, renewables, water, sewer, roads, rail, rural, urban development, agriculture, infrastructure, mining, and environmental development across the continent. We specialize in comprehensive, end-to-end aerial survey solutions, from initial planning and data acquisition to final analysis and deliverables.

Our team combines legacy expertise with the latest airborne LiDAR technology, enabling us to cover large, complex terrains with unmatched speed and centimetre-level accuracy. Our fixed-wing capabilities offer efficiency, scale, and precision for regional, cross-border, and utility-scale projects.

At BB Aerial Surveys, we don’t just map the land, we engineer the data that powers Africa’s next generation of infrastructure.
