Open-Site Capture
Sites where a crew would spend days collecting points. We fly, process and hand over imagery, a dense point cloud and the processing report. Your licensee prepares the surface and contours.
For Licensed Survey & Engineering Firms
Aerial data capture for licensed surveyors and engineers.
Flown to your specification. Under your license and control.
We fly and process imagery and point clouds to your specification and tie them to your control. Your licensed surveyor or engineer directs the work, checks the results, and prepares and signs any topographic map, contours or surface used for design.
How We Work With Your License
You keep responsible charge. We handle the aircraft.
Anchorpoint Geospatial is not a licensed land surveying or engineering firm, and we do not make final design, boundary or topographic decisions. Under Washington law, that work belongs to the licensee in responsible charge. We work to your specification, tie the data to your control when you provide it, and deliver the raw data and processing reports your reviewer needs.
That split is useful. Your crews stay on the field work that needs them, and the aircraft program (maintenance, flight logs, Remote ID, airspace authorizations and Part 107 currency) stays off your books. You get imagery and point clouds from the same owner-operator on every job.
Imagery is positioned with RTK network corrections for centimeter-level accuracy. When a project needs a stated map accuracy, your team checks the results against surveyed checkpoints.

Where It Helps
Four ways firms use aerial capture.
Repeat Flights on Active Projects
The same flight plan each visit, so imagery and point clouds line up between dates. Your team decides what to measure and how.
Pre-Construction Imagery
Dated, georeferenced imagery of the site or route before work starts, to support your field work and your client’s condition records.
Overflow Capacity
When crews are booked, hand the open-terrain aerial work to a specialist and keep the licensed crew on the work that needs them.
Deliverables
What you receive.
Imagery, orthomosaic (GeoTIFF), dense point cloud (LAS/LAZ), textured 3D mesh, and the Pix4Dmatic processing report, in the coordinate system you specify, for example NAD83(HARN) Washington State Plane South with NAVD88 (GEOID18). Raw images and flight logs on request.
Try it on a site you already know
We will fly one site you have already surveyed, at no charge, so your team can compare our data with your own points before any paid work.
Can you deliver contours or a topographic survey directly to our client?
No. In Washington that work must be done by or under a licensed land surveyor. Your firm contracts for and signs the topographic product; we provide the aerial capture under your direction.
Do you work outside Pierce County?
Yes. We regularly cover Pierce, King, Thurston, Kitsap and Mason counties, and take statewide and out-of-state work when travel fits the scope.
