LiDAR surveys in affected areas

Rapid Mapping & Disaster Response Solutions in the Middle East

Operating in regions exposed to extreme weather events and complex terrain, Sixense Middle East delivers fast, reliable geospatial intelligence to support emergency response and risk management. Our teams specialise in rapid mapping solutions designed to assess natural hazards such as landslides, flash floods, rockfalls and avalanches, which are increasingly critical across the Middle East and surrounding regions.

We deploy advanced surveying and monitoring technologies immediately after an incident, providing decision‑makers with accurate, actionable data when time is critical. Beyond post‑event response, our services also support early detection and continuous monitoring of high‑risk areas, helping authorities, infrastructure owners and developers anticipate hazards and reduce their potential impact on people, assets and operations.

By combining local expertise with proven international methodologies, we help strengthen resilience, protect communities and ensure safer development in challenging environments.

Our solutions

Emergency mobilization

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events requires effective methods for documenting and managing such disasters:

Ultra-fast mobilization capacity
Operational in just a few hours in Switzerland and abroad

Very high-resolution airborne surveys

Safe, non-invasive surveying in complex environments and inaccessible areas
Simultaneous acquisition of LiDAR and photo data with high-precision geo-referencing

Our modular acquisition system enables us to carry out vertical or oblique surveys, with flexible installation on various aerial and ground platforms.

Modelling

Creation of digital twins and customized deliverables according to project requirements

Very high density point clouds
Very high resolution orthophotos
Digital terrain, surface or canopy models before and after the for analyzing evolution and damage
Photorealistic 3D meshing

Risk mapping for affected areas

Support for reports and detailed analyses, produced in collaboration with the relevant departments

Merging point clouds before and after the disaster
3D understanding of the event and assessment of its impact
Drawing up and updating detailed plans of affected areas
Rapid identification of residual risks thanks to artificial intelligence

Our advantages

The use of a helicopter for a non-invasive approach, enabling rapid intervention in complete safety, even when the terrain is unstable, steep or difficult to access.
The efficiency of our helicopter-borne sensors enables us to survey large areas in a very short space of time.
Our experience and data can help you to understand, prevent and manage risks and disasters.
