Drone based aerial surveying equipment captures detailed data in a shorter time frame than standard ground-based land surveys.

We have trained, fully licensed and insured Remote Pilot Aircraft System (drone) operators who are skilled in the use of our state of the art equipment. While most of the work that we undertake is still ground based land surveying, we are now able to offer an alternative method which is particularly suited to development of larger areas of land.

Get in Touch

Aerial Survey can be used in conjunction with, and has distinct advantages over, traditional ground based survey.

Drone survey allows pre-planning through visual access to dangerous and inaccessible locations, large clear sites and rough terrain. Aerial survey can be faster, more accurate and safer than ground based or laser scanning methods.

24 hour turnaround

Most data for volumes, stockpiles and earthworks are available within 24hrs of the survey being undertaken.

AERIAL SURVEY INCLUSIONS

As qualified land surveyors and engineers, we understand the specific land development delivery requirements of our drone surveys.

  • Scheduled Stockpile reports/Quantities (Signed in-house by a Registered Surveyor)
  • Earthworks – volumes and cuts
  • Works as Executed on pads or grades – before or during works and prior to handover
  • Progress Reports and Client updates
  • Greenfield sites, feasibility studies/tendering
  • Road work corridors – benching, trimmed surfaces, batters, any surface
  • Mapping of steep inaccessible inclines
  • Storm damage assessment & control

AERIAL SURVEY DELIVERABLES

  • Digital Terrain Models (multiple formats)
  • Contours and features (dwg or dxf)
  • Geo-referenced models
  • Dense Point Clouds
  • High resolution ortho photos (Mosaics)
  • Volumes – reports and models

OUR DRONE TECHNOLOGY

Our Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) has  on board GPS and is designed for remote sensing applications as well as aerial photogrammetry and videography.

We are able to take video footage as well as images for historical purposes – a perfect “snapshot in time” that can be used in case of disputes (Disputes over stockpile changes are an ever-increasing issue for land developers).

We are able to provide volume surveys for stockpiles, earthworks or any other measurable item. We are able to provide quantities for civil projects, subdivisions, stockpiles and waste facilities. Whether the site requires regular visits or a one off survey, any size site or volume can benefit from the immediate increase in efficiency, accuracy and safety.
