Driven by Data: Southeastern Surveying and Mapping Corporation Expands Mobile LiDAR Capabilities with RIEGL Technology
Expanding its mobile LiDAR capabilities with the RIEGL VMX-2HA, Southeastern Surveying and Mapping Corporation (SSMC) is enhancing its ability to capture highly accurate geospatial data efficiently and safely across a wide range of infrastructure and surveying projects.
Southeastern Surveying and Mapping Corporation (SSMC), a 100% employee-owned, Florida-founded surveying, mapping, and geospatial firm, continues to invest in advanced geospatial technology to better serve transportation, land development, utility, municipal, infrastructure, and GIS clients across the Southeastern United States.
Most recently, SSMC expanded its data acquisition capabilities with the addition of the RIEGL VMX-2HA mobile mapping system, strengthening its ability to capture precise data across complex project environments while improving efficiency, safety, and project delivery.
For more than 50 years, SSMC has invested in technologies that help us deliver better results for our clients. The addition of the RIEGL VMX-2HA expands our ability to collect highly accurate data more efficiently while improving safety for our field crews and providing clients with the information they need to make informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
To complement its mobile mapping operations, SSMC also utilizes the RIEGL VUX-12023 UAV LiDAR system, enabling efficient aerial data collection in areas where vehicle-based access is limited.
A Legacy Built on Precision
SSMC has built a reputation for delivering dependable geospatial solutions throughout the Southeastern United States. That commitment to precision and innovation continues to guide the firm's approach today.
Built for demanding corridor mapping and infrastructure applications, the system delivers survey-grade accuracy, exceptional point density, and RIEGL's proven full waveform LiDAR technology. Capable of capturing millions of measurements per second, the RIEGL VMX-2HA enables SSMC to efficiently acquire detailed datasets across transportation corridors, urban environments, and utility networks.
Combined with the RIEGL VUX-12023 UAV LiDAR system, SSMC can collect accurate geospatial data from both the ground and the air, creating a flexible and comprehensive reality capture solution that adapts to project requirements.
Improving Efficiency and Safety
These capabilities help SSMC deliver:
- Rapid, high-quality data acquisition with consistent point density
- Reliable datasets that support efficient processing and analysis
- Accurate feature extraction in complex infrastructure environments
- Reduced field time and improved project turnaround
- Enhanced safety through reduced crew exposure to traffic and other hazards
A Strong Partnership with RIEGL
SSMC’s investment in RIEGL technology reflects a shared commitment to innovation, precision, and delivering measurable value to clients.
SSMC approached this expansion with a clear vision for the future. From system selection to training and implementation, their focus has been on building a scalable foundation that will support a wide range of projects for years to come. We're proud to be part of that journey.
SSMC’s investment extends beyond technology. During a recent training session at the RIEGL USA North American Headquarters, members of the SSMC team worked alongside RIEGL experts to refine workflows, strengthen technical expertise, and maximize system performance in the field.
Looking Ahead
As demand for accurate, data-driven insights continues to grow, SSMC remains focused on advancing its capabilities through ongoing investments in advanced geospatial technology. The addition of the RIEGL VMX-2HA strengthens the firm's ability to meet the evolving needs of infrastructure and development projects across its service area.
By combining decades of surveying expertise with RIEGL's industry-leading LiDAR solutions, SSMC is well positioned to support the next generation of transportation, utility, and infrastructure projects throughout the region.
