ROUTE SURVEY & LIDAR MAPPING SOLUTIONS

ROUTE SURVEY & LIDAR MAPPING SOLUTIONS

Rangeland provides comprehensive route survey and LiDAR mapping services to support the safe, compliant, and efficient movement of oversize, overweight, and specialized loads across North America. Operating from Edmonton, Calgary, and Houston, our team combines field experience with advanced scanning technology to deliver precise, data‑driven route assessments tailored to heavy haul and industrial transport.

Whether planning a single high‑risk move or coordinating a multi‑state/province heavy haul project, Rangeland ensures every route is evaluated, validated, and engineered for safety.

Complete Route Survey Services

Our route surveys identify operational constraints, safety risks, and compliance requirements before transport begins. Services include:

  • Full pre‑trip and on‑site route inspections

  • Bridge, overhead, and structural clearance measurements

  • Road grades, surface conditions, and width evaluations

  • Turning radius, intersection geometry, and access checks

  • Swept Path Analysis (SPA) for validating maneuverability of oversize and multi‑axle trailer configurations

  • Utility line, signal light, and overhead obstruction assessment

  • Identification of hazards, conflict points, and traffic patterns

  • Safe staging areas, bypass lanes, and turnout locations

  • Detailed written and visual documentation for planning and permitting

Swept Path Analysis is now formally embedded as part of the core route survey process, ensuring every turn, intersection, and maneuver can be completed safely with the planned equipment.

Every survey follows a standardized, safety‑driven process designed to eliminate surprises and reduce transport risk.

LiDAR Technology for Precision Mapping

Rangeland leverages LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology to capture high‑resolution, three‑dimensional route data with unmatched accuracy.

LiDAR‑Enhanced Capabilities

  • 3D mapping of roads, terrain, and infrastructure

  • Precise overhead clearance measurements within millimeters

  • Full scan of power lines, bridges, signals, and overpasses

  • Digital modeling of tight turns, intersections, and roundabouts

  • Georeferenced route profiles for engineering and planning

  • High‑detail point cloud data for complex heavy haul requirements

LiDAR provides a true‑to‑life digital replica of the entire route — eliminating guesswork and enabling informed decision‑making.

Engineering & Heavy Haul Support

Our data is used to develop engineered transport plans for oversized and overweight loads. This includes:

  • Computer‑based route modeling and obstacle analysis

  • Transport feasibility and risk assessments

  • Clearance simulations for height and width

  • Trailer configuration and axle spacing recommendations

  • Multi‑crane lift and jack‑and‑slide coordination (if required at origin/destination)

  • Detailed reporting for permitting authorities and utility companies

When required, we provide engineered drawings and documentation to support complex moves.

Integration with Pilot, Escort & Heavy Haul Operations

Rangeland’s route survey team works hand‑in‑hand with:

  • Pilot and escort vehicle services

  • Heavy haul & specialized transport

  • Crane and rigging divisions

  • Winch truck and oilfield hauling teams

  • 3PL transportation planning

This integrated approach ensures that each route is not only surveyed but executed safely and efficiently with consistent communication across all teams.

Industries Served

Our route survey and LiDAR mapping services support:

  • Heavy industrial equipment transport

  • Oilfield and drilling rig mobilizations

  • Pipeline equipment and large‑diameter pipe

  • Plant modules and prefabricated structures

  • Transformers, turbines & power generation equipment

  • Oversize construction machinery

  • Wind energy components

  • Specialized project freight

If it’s oversized, overweight, or high‑risk — we ensure it moves safely.

Safety at Every Step

Safety is the foundation of every Rangeland survey. Our practices include:

  • Certified survey personnel

  • Standardized pre‑survey hazard assessments

  • Real‑time communication with logistics teams

  • Detailed reporting with photos, maps, and digital scans

  • Identification of hazards and mitigation strategies

  • Validation of controlled‑travel or restricted‑access segments

We do not approve a route unless it meets strict safety and engineering standards.
