Certified Geospatial Data That Saves Cities Time and Money

How FinBee TAC Combines Ground and Aerial Mapping for Engineering-Grade Results

In today’s data-driven infrastructure environment, local governments and engineering teams rely on accurate, up-to-date geospatial information to make confident decisions. FinBee TAC, a Utah-based geospatial imagery provider, delivers certified topographic and aerial data solutions that merge aerial and ground-based collection methods—bridging the gap between photogrammetry, surveying, and GIS analytics.

Integrated Ground + Aerial Collection

FinBee TAC’s workflows combine UAV-based aerial capture with ground-based control and validation surveys to ensure accuracy across large and complex project areas. Each mission is planned using precise ground-control networks and geodetic standards that align with engineering tolerances.

• Aerial collection leverages high-resolution RGB and LiDAR sensors to produce true orthomosaics, 3D models, and elevation surfaces with sub-inch Ground Sampling Distance (GSD).

• Ground validation integrates GNSS RTK observations, total-station data, and terrestrial imagery to strengthen absolute accuracy and tie all deliverables to real-world coordinates.

This hybrid approach allows FinBee TAC to serve a wide range of municipal and private-sector needs—from citywide planning imagery to detailed site models for capital-improvement and utility-design projects.

Certified Deliverables for Engineering and Design

All topographic and elevation datasets produced by FinBee TAC can be certified and sealed by a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS), ensuring they meet the precision and documentation requirements for engineering design, permitting, and public works applications.Certified deliverables include:

• Topographic surfaces (DSM/DEM) suitable for grading, drainage, and cut-fill analysis.

• Contour datasets generated to specified vertical accuracy standards.

• Planimetric and feature extractions mapped within horizontal tolerances appropriate for design and construction.

This certification adds legal defensibility and technical reliability—allowing engineers and project managers to use FinBee TAC data directly within CAD, Civil 3D, and GIS workflows without redundant field verification or costly resurveying.

Time and Cost Efficiency at Scale

Traditional surveying and aerial mapping often involve separate vendors, multiple mobilizations, and long turnaround times. FinBee TAC’s integrated model streamlines those steps.

• Rapid deployment: Coordinated air-and-ground operations allow data collection over thousands of acres in days rather than weeks.

• Accelerated processing: Automated photogrammetric and LiDAR workflows deliver orthomosaics, point clouds, and 3D surfaces within compressed production timelines.

• Reduced rework: Certified data ensures downstream users—engineers, planners, and GIS analysts—can build confidently on a verified foundation.

For municipalities, this translates into substantial cost savings, improved coordination between departments, and a more current geospatial foundation for decision-making.

Applications Across Departments

FinBee TAC’s certified imagery and topographic datasets are currently being applied in:

• Engineering and Public Works: Surface models for roadway design, storm-drain analysis, and utility planning.

• Planning and Development: High-resolution basemaps for zoning, growth tracking, and permitting.

• Emergency Management: Updated terrain data supporting flood modeling, wildfire mitigation, evacuation planning using reality capture.

• Tax Assessment and GIS: Accurate parcel overlays, 3D model measurements, and elevation data integrated directly into ESRI Enterprise environments.

By delivering a single, verified dataset that serves multiple departments, cities reduce duplication and establish a unified source of truth.

Commitment to Quality and Innovation

As geospatial technologies continue to evolve, FinBee TAC remains committed to advancing precision mapping across the Intermountain West. The company invests in next-generation UAV platforms, advanced LiDAR payloads, and high-performance processing systems that shorten delivery cycles without compromising accuracy.

FinBee TAC’s mission is simple: to provide engineering-grade, PLS-certified geospatial data that empowers cities, counties, and private engineers to make faster, better, and more confident decisions.
