UAV Aerial Surveys

UAV Aerial Surveys

In the last 10 years, the use of UAV (drones) has revolutionised the surveying profession, and we have smoothly incorporated this new technology into our daily activities. The advantages of aerial surveying is helping our clients identify the most affordable option for their needs.

Formerly inaccessible places can now be covered by an aerial mapping UAV. In contrast, large regions of land can be covered in a much shorter amount of time. Without having an adverse effect on nearby homes, they can swiftly and effectively offer contextual information in an urban setting. As a result, compared to conventional ground-based techniques, our aerial mapping services are quicker and more affordable. UAV-captured high-resolution photos can be processed to create orthophotography, derived point clouds, photogrammetry models, digital surface and terrain models with volumes, and topographical surveys.

Benefits of UAV Surveys

There are multiple benefits to utilising UAV methods on projects such as.

Safety

• UAV's are well suited to capture data in areas where access by foot is dangerous, compromised or sensitive in nature that were once restricted by traditional methods. Data is all captured easily and quickly by remote pilots located in a safe place resulting in a complete data set for the project which previously would have been costly, taken longer and often resulting in incomplete surveys

Access

• UAV's are able to access places that are restrictive by traditional methods. This ensures a full data set can be captured reducing project costs and time. Roofs, wall tops, towers, masts, towering structures can now be captured without needs for specialist access.

Accuracy

• Accuracy of UAVs has improved quickly due to developments in both hardware and software. Combined with applying our extensive survey knowledge to this technology provides survey grade accuracy.

• This along with the most recent stabilisation controls and camera technologies for drones results in a survey solution with multiple applications.

Speed of data capture

• The speed and area that can be covered by UAV surveying with the most recent advancements in drone technology is unmatched. Further software developments in office processing brings it on pace with other reality capturing techniques, resulting in lead times for data transmission that are up to 20 times faster than those traditional survey techniques.



By embracing the latest advancements in UAV technology through an established geospatial surveying business, such as ourselves, with streamlined workflows leads to quicker turn round of data sets. Surveys, which were once expensive and time-consuming, are now economical and commercially viable saving clients' time and costs making UAV Aerial surveying an ideal solution
