every Norelo deliverable.
Your data is only ever as good as what captured it. Norelo runs Leica scanning and positioning, a DJI Matrice fleet with L2/L3 LiDAR payloads, and GNSS control, backed by a processing and CAD software stack that ends in one tidy portal login for you. Here’s the full tour.
Good instruments, mastered, not just owned
Anyone can buy a scanner. The difference is a team that knows exactly what each instrument can and can’t do, keeps it calibrated and current, and picks the right combination for your site rather than the one that’s easiest to sell. Every tool below earns its place in the van, and every one is run by the same small team you’ll meet on the about page.
What’s in the flight cases
The capture line-up, from tripod to airframe.
Leica RTC360 laser scanners
Our terrestrial workhorses: up to two million points a second with HDR 360° imagery at every setup, dense, colourised, survey-grade capture of buildings, plant and streetscapes in minutes per position.
- 2M points / second
- HDR 360° imagery
- Millimetre-level accuracy
- Buildings, plant & interiors
Leica TS16 total station
The precision backbone. The TS16 observes the control networks that tie every scan and flight to grid, and picks up millimetre detail on sites where nothing less will do.
- Control networks
- Millimetre detail pickup
- Grid & datum transfer
- Works where drones can’t
GNSS receivers
Emlid GNSS base and rover receivers establish coordinates and control on open sites, fast, survey-grade positioning that ties the whole dataset to OSGB36 or your site grid.
- Base & rover setup
- OSGB36 / site grid
- Ground control points
- Checkpoint verification
DJI Matrice aircraft
Our enterprise drone fleet, flown by qualified pilots under our CAA Operational Authorisation, the stable, weather-tolerant platform every aerial payload below hangs from.
- Enterprise airframes
- RTK positioning
- CAA authorised ops
- Qualified in-house pilots
Zenmuse L2 & L3 LiDAR payloads
Multi-return aerial LiDAR that reads the true ground through vegetation and covers up to 200 hectares a day, the engine behind our topographical and aerial LiDAR surveys.
- Multi-return LiDAR
- Through-canopy capture
- Up to 200 ha / day
- RTK trajectories
Imaging payloads & cameras
High-resolution zoom and mapping payloads for inspection and photogrammetry, plus calibrated handheld cameras for interiors and detail beyond the drone’s reach.
- 4K+ inspection imagery
- Photogrammetry capture
- Handheld infill
- Sub-mm texture detail
One job, several instruments, one dataset
The kit list isn’t a menu of separate services, it’s a toolbox we combine freely. A single project might see the Matrice fly the roofs and land while the RTC360 walks the interiors, the TS16 stitches both to one control network, and photogrammetry adds true-colour detail, delivered to you as one coordinated dataset, not four disconnected files.
From raw capture to your inbox
Hardware fills the memory cards; software turns them into deliverables. This is the stack every Norelo dataset moves through.
Flight planning & field control
Missions are designed before we arrive: DJI enterprise flight planning for automated, repeatable coverage, with airspace assessment and field capture apps controlling scans, GCPs and checkpoints on site.
- Automated flight missions
- Repeatable coverage
- Airspace assessment
- Field QA on capture day
LiDAR & scan processing
Aerial LiDAR trajectories are processed and classified through DJI Terra, while RTC360 scans are registered and QA-checked in Leica’s Cyclone workflow, producing clean, coordinated, classified point clouds.
- DJI Terra
- Leica Cyclone REGISTER
- Cloud classification
- Registration QA reports
Photogrammetry engines
Thousands of images become measurable meshes and orthophotos in dedicated photogrammetry processing, aligned to our ground control and verified against checkpoints before anything ships.
- Dense mesh reconstruction
- True-colour texturing
- Scaled orthophotos
- GCP-constrained solves
CAD & BIM production
Drawings and models are produced in the Autodesk ecosystem: AutoCAD for layered 2D, Revit for BIM to agreed LOD, ReCap for RCP point cloud delivery, with IFC and Navisworks formats for coordination.
- AutoCAD & Revit
- ReCap / RCP delivery
- IFC & NWD exports
- Your templates & standards
3D streaming & review
Full-resolution models and clouds are streamed to any browser through Nira, the live viewers embedded on our photogrammetry page, so your whole team can inspect without installing anything.
- Nira streaming viewer
- No downloads or plugins
- Measure & annotate
- Share by link
The Norelo portal
Built in-house at norelo.app because delivery is part of the job: projects, deliverables, viewers and downloads behind one secure login, Cyber Essentials certified.
- Built by us, for you
- One login, every project
- Browser viewers built in
- Secure, tracked delivery
The common thread: open, standard formats at every stage, E57, LAS, DWG, RVT, IFC, GeoTIFF, so nothing we deliver ever locks you into our tools, or anyone else’s.
Nice kit. Better in the field.
