What We Do

Services

Geophysics and mapping for exploration, environmental, and construction work, plus remote geological modeling that requires no mobilization at all. Every deliverable goes through QA/QC by an industry professional, whether it is headed into a drill plan or in front of investors.

Drone Magnetometry

High-resolution magnetic surveys for target generation and structural mapping. Flown low on tight line spacing, diurnally corrected, gridded, and delivered as interpretable maps that are ready for target work.

  • Total Field
  • Diurnal Correction
  • Gridded Maps
  • Derivatives / RTP

Environmental & Infrastructure

Magnetic and aerial mapping for buried tank and drum detection, landfill delineation, abandoned well location, and general site characterization support.

  • Buried Objects
  • Landfill Delineation
  • Well Location
  • Site Characterization

Construction & Civil

Progress tracking, cut/fill analysis, site planning support, and as-built documentation. Keep your project on schedule with current spatial data.

  • Progress Tracking
  • Cut / Fill
  • Orthomosaic
  • As-Built

Geological Modeling & Drill Programs

Remote deliverables built in Leapfrog and GIS, including drillhole database cleanup, geological models, domain wireframes, and figure sets for technical reporting. On-site drill program management is available as well, covering logging, sampling protocols, QA/QC, and contractor oversight.

  • Leapfrog
  • GIS
  • Drillhole DB
  • Drill Programs

Example Deliverable

Terrain, resolved.

A digital elevation model with hillshade applied, draped over site imagery. Drainages, benches, and slope breaks read directly off the surface at a resolution aerial imagery alone will not give you.

Hillshaded digital elevation model produced from drone photogrammetry, overlaid on site imagery
Photogrammetric DEM / Hillshade · 1 cm GSD Demonstration product flown over unclaimed public land, not client work. RTK and PPK correction workflows are available on project deliverables, and the same site can be flown with LiDAR where vegetation cover or bare-earth accuracy requires it.

DEM & Hillshade

Bare-earth and surface elevation models, contoured or shaded for interpretation.

Orthomosaics

Georeferenced, distortion-corrected imagery at centimeter-scale ground resolution.

3D Point Clouds

Dense classified clouds in LAS or LAZ for volumes, sections, and slope analysis.

CAD Deliverables

DXF linework and surfaces that drop straight into your existing drawing set.

What It Costs

Fixed price. Quoted before we mobilize.

Most geophysics contractors bill by the day, which means every weather hold, equipment fault, and re-fly lands on your invoice instead of theirs. We don't work that way.

The Model

Priced by the line-kilometer, never by the day

You get one number for the survey as scoped. If terrain, weather, or a re-fly costs an extra day in the field, that cost is ours to absorb. No change order you find out about later.

The Quote

Scope and price agreed in writing, upfront

Line spacing, survey altitude, coverage area, and deliverable formats are locked in with the price attached before anyone leaves for the field. No open-ended engagements.

The Scale

Rates reflect total coverage

Per-kilometer pricing steps down as line-kilometers go up. Single-target blocks and full multi-target programs are quoted the same way, so you can compare scopes against each other directly.

What Affects Your Number Line spacing and survey altitude drive flight hours more than raw acreage does. Terrain, access, and elevation change affect both flight planning and crew time. Mobilization, data processing, and any third-party inversion work are quoted as separate line items where they apply, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Ask for a quote with your target outline and we will send a scoped number back with the assumptions written out.

Where We Work

Based in the district.

Lower your mobilization costs by hiring locally in the western United States.

Why Summit View

Backed by industry professionalism.

Led by a geologist with seven years of industry experience, so you can trust the survey quality, the industry standard practices behind it, and that the person planning your survey understands what you are looking for.
