Mobile mapping is the fastest, safest, and most accurate way to capture survey-grade data for infrastructure projects in Ireland.
iO Geomatics uses integrated Mobile LiDAR and GNSS control to scan up to 100km in a single day, eliminating the rework and delays associated with conventional topographical surveys.
We deliver verifiable, sub-centimetre precision data, including 2D CAD, 3D models, and GIS formats, to keep your project on budget and on schedule.
Choosing traditional land surveying methods carries the high hidden cost of rework and project delays.
Our Mobile Mapping service is designed to mitigate these risks by providing:
Ready to move your project forward with fast, accurate mobile mapping?
Engineers, architects, and project managers must demand specific specifications to guarantee a flawless data foundation.
Our process is built around meeting all five criteria:
The Risk: Engineers worry new technology won't match the precision of ground-based methods, risking faulty data.
iO Geomatics Advantage: We utilise integrated mobile LiDAR and GNSS control to match or exceed ground survey accuracy. We deliver sub-centimetre precision that ensures verifiable geo-referencing and accurate alignment during construction.
The Risk: Traditional surveying methods are too slow for large or complex projects, causing delays to planning and design.
iO Geomatics Advantage: We work on projects of all sizes (1–100kms) and capture data quickly while maintaining verifiable quality and speed.
The Risk: Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to project halts and costly second-site visits to gather missing information.
iO Geomatics Advantage: Our speed-driven, comprehensive capture using high-resolution Mobile LiDAR ensures all data is collected on the first pass. We can extract additional detail later without expensive site revisits.
The Risk: Engineers worry that high-tech surveys deliver proprietary or unfamiliar files, complicating their traditional CAD/design workflows.
iO Geomatics Advantage: We deliver final outputs in all familiar formats, including 2D CAD/3D CAD drawings, 3D models (Revit, IFC), and GIS data. This guarantees hassle-free integration with your design team.
The Risk: Traditional ground surveys require road closures, traffic management, and safety protocols, increasing project costs and site hassle.
iO Geomatics Advantage: Mobile Mapping is a safer, non-intrusive survey method that captures data at speed, eliminating traffic disruption and safety concerns.

Our process is built for efficiency and quality, ensuring your project remains on track from day one:
We assess your project scope, location challenges, and deadlines to customise the mobile mapping approach.
Our team quickly deploys mobile LiDAR units and UAV survey systems as required, reducing time spent on-site.
Using advanced geomatics surveying techniques, we scan terrain, assets, and features with survey-grade precision, often with minimal traffic disruption.
You receive detailed 2D CAD/3D CAD outputs, 3D point clouds, or BIM-ready models, formatted to your project's exact needs, ready for design or construction.
Compared to traditional land surveying methods, mobile mapping dramatically reduces site time and overhead costs.
What once took teams days or weeks, now takes hours—with no compromise on detail.
Our high-resolution mobile LiDAR data allows you to extract additional information later without costly site revisits.
By reducing manpower needs, speeding up data delivery, and minimising risks, IO Geomatics helps you complete projects faster, safer, and more cost-effectively.
Faster surveys. Lower costs. Better outcomes.
That’s the IO Geomatics advantage.

Mobile mapping is a fast, accurate surveying method that uses LiDAR, cameras, and GNSS systems mounted on a vehicle or wearable device.
This technology allows iO Geomatics to capture high-resolution land mapping data for roads, railways, urban environments, and large infrastructure projects in a fraction of the time required by traditional land surveying techniques.
Mobile mapping delivers survey-grade accuracy when properly managed and verified.
At iO Geomatics, we integrate mobile LiDAR scanning with total station and GNSS control points to ensure precise, reliable outputs that consistently meet high standards for design, planning, and construction.
The main benefits include dramatically reduced site time, improved safety, and faster project delivery.
With the ability to survey up to 100km in a day, mobile mapping saves both time and money while capturing comprehensive data, including terrain, boundaries, assets, and utilities, without disrupting site operations or traffic.
Yes. Mobile mapping is ideal for road, motorway, and railway projects where access is limited or safety is a concern.
Our technology captures detailed survey data without requiring surveyors to physically occupy hazardous areas, making it a preferred choice for infrastructure planners and road engineers across Ireland.
IO Geomatics delivers a range of outputs from mobile mapping projects, including 2D CAD drawings, detailed topographical site surveys, 3D point clouds, BIM-ready models, and digital terrain models (DTMs).
We customise the deliverables to match your project’s needs, whether for design, construction, or asset management.
iO Geomatics guarantees hassle-free integration with your design team by delivering high-resolution data in all industry-standard formats, including:
We customise all final outputs to match your project’s exact design, construction, or asset management needs.
