Start of the journey
Lethbridge Landfill has been working with Civil Tracker for about 3 Years now. In these two years, Hill plain has done around 50 flights over their landfill.
Before Civil Tracker, Lethbridge Landfill were using a local surveyor to survey their site twice in a year. That meant that they were only getting updated data once every 6 months which was less than ideal for a landfill. Once their operation grew, they knew that they wanted sometime a little more frequent and accurate.
Advanced Drone Hardware
Lethbridge Landfill employs the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drone, equipped with a mechanical shutter camera and an RTK module for centimeter-level precision, supported by a fixed base station. This setup ensures exceptional mapping efficiency. Civil Tracker, which ranks the Mavic 3 Enterprise as its top-performing RTK drone for mapping, has been integral to Hill Plain’s operations.

With the help of Civil Tracker, Lethbridge has been consistently flying their sites and getting quick and accurate data to plan their operations much more efficiently.
Lethbridge has been using the “cut-fill” feature to accurately measure their materials and making informed decision saving both time and money
Transforming Lethbridge Operations:
Since the start of their journey with Civil Tracker, Lethbridge Landfill has seen
- More frequent flights (about 80 flights per year)
- Huge decrease in the cost of surveys
- Safer surveys as the drone does most of the work
- Quick data turnaround time which helps in faster decision making
- Updated ortho imagery of their sites every week
