UAV survey & inspection

Drone Surveys

Aerial mapping, LiDAR and inspection that covers large or dangerous areas quickly and safely.

At a glance

  • Photogrammetry & LiDAR
  • Orthomosaics & 3D models
  • Stockpile volumes
  • Roof & structure inspection

Aerial photogrammetry

Overlapping high-resolution photographs are processed into accurate 2D maps and 3D models – ideal for large or complex terrain.

LiDAR

Laser pulses measure through gaps in vegetation, producing accurate terrain models where photogrammetry struggles.

What we use drones for

  • Topographic mapping and orthomosaics
  • Stockpile and earthworks volumes
  • Roof, bridge and structure inspection without access equipment
  • Coastal and cliff monitoring
  • Agricultural and environmental surveys

Why it helps

  • Large areas covered in a fraction of the time
  • Fewer people working at height or near hazards
  • Millions of points rather than hundreds
  • Lower cost on big sites
