Shaping Africa’s Future from Above

About BB Aerial Surveyors

BB Aerial Surveyors is a South Africa’s leading fixed-wing LiDAR survey firm, specialising in end-to-end aerial mapping solutions. From planning and data acquisition to analysis and actionable insights, we deliver surveys that combine speed, accuracy, and scale. Our mission is simple: to provide the data you can build on — data that informs smarter decisions, strengthens infrastructure, and drives Africa’s growth.

With more than 30 years in the aerial survey industry, our team brings unmatched expertise to every project. Our directors and technical specialists have pioneered mapping solutions across sectors — from energy and transport to mining, agriculture, and environmental development. We’ve built our reputation on accuracy, reliability, and a deep understanding of Africa’s unique terrain challenges.

LiDAR technology enables us to capture millions of data points per second, creating high-density, centimetre-level terrain models. Unlike traditional survey methods, LiDAR penetrates vegetation and complex landscapes, making it ideal for large-scale infrastructure planning and environmental analysis. With our fixed-wing capabilities, we cover vast areas faster and more cost-effectively than drone-based surveys — making us the trusted choice for regional and cross-border projects.
