Forest inventory
Field has extensive experience with remote sensing-based forest inventory. Combining aerial LiDAR data and imagery with field measurements, we can provide accurate and cost-effective inventory results over large areas. Typical variables include tree height, species, diameter, growing stock, and carbon stock. Using time series, we can also estimate site index, cutting class, and age.
We use both area-based and detailed single-tree analyses for diverse customers, ranging from the forest industry and powerline companies to rail and road authorities and municipalities. We work primarily in the Nordic countries and within boreal forests, but we also have experience conducting projects in the Americas, Asia, and Africa.
We support our customers throughout all stages — from the choice of sensor, data capture and operations, and processing and analysis.
Our forestry software are based on advanced technology for collecting, analyzing, and presenting forest and nature data for our customers.
Utility Services
Network owners across Sweden, Norway and Finland face many challenges. Networks must be methodically and continuously maintained – including clearing and felling edge trees to avoid costly phase failures due to falls on the line. As neutral partners without ties to landowners, contractors or network companies, we conduct forestry investigations and internal controls.
Our services include:
- Planning documents: Producing planning documents and map material based on laser scanning.
- Project management: We can manage forest inspection and edge tree administration, clearing of rights of way, encroachment evaluation or landowner mailings as an external resource.
- Internal controls: Our internal control services are wide-ranging and include conducting field inventory with an assessment of the clearing work carried out, registering general statistics on performance and deviations, using data to compile reports and maps, and following up on forest inspections.
