NEOM Trojena Terrain Survey

A 120 km² high-resolution terrain capture supporting mountain resort infrastructure planning — delivering centimeter-precise 3D models for cut-fill design and as-built verification.

01 · BRIEF

Mountain terrain. Tight schedule.

The Trojena program required centimeter-accurate elevation data over 120 km² of steep, rocky mountain terrain — too unstable for traditional ground survey crews and too detailed for satellite-based DEM resolution. Construction sequencing depended on early visibility into cut-fill volumes.

02 · APPROACH

Dual sensor on a single platform

Heavy-lift drones carried both a LiDAR head and a 45MP global-shutter camera on the same airframe. LiDAR captured bare-earth structure through sparse vegetation; photogrammetry provided photorealistic texture and edge definition. Both datasets were co-registered through RTK-PPK positioning.

03 · OUTCOME

BIM-ready in two weeks

The team delivered classified point clouds, textured 3D meshes, GeoTIFF orthomosaics, and IFC-compatible exports. Cut-fill volumetrics were validated against design models within 5cm RMS. The 32-day timeline replaced what conventional ground crews would have spent two seasons on.
