The process involves using a drone equipped with specialised sensors, such as cameras, high accuracy RTK enhanced GNSS/GPS, to capture aerial imagery and data that can be used to create accurate 2D or 3D maps of an area. Processed by photogrammetry and GIS software, drone products are extremely useful in support of many different use cases and industries.
Drone surveys are particularly useful for surveying large and complex sites; especially areas that are difficult or unsafe to access on foot. They can be used in a variety of active industries across the UK, including construction, asset inspection, agriculture, conservation, environmental monitoring, and many more.
One of the main advantages of drone surveys is their ability to capture high-resolution imagery and data quickly and efficiently. This allows for rapid data collection and analysis, which can lead to cost savings and improved accuracy compared to traditional surveying methods.
Drone surveys can also be used to capture data at different times, allowing for more frequent updates to maps and surveys. This is particularly useful for monitoring changes in land use or natural environments, such as tracking the growth of crops or changes in vegetation patterns.
However, drone surveys also require careful planning and execution to ensure their accuracy and safety. This includes ensuring that the drone is flown within legal and safety guidelines, properly calibrating and configuring the sensors, and properly processing and analysing the data to ensure its accuracy and usefulness.
It is important to note that while we are not Chartered Surveyors, we are a specialist drone services company providing high-accuracy aerial data to support both clients and surveying professionals. Our drone surveys deliver detailed imagery, 3D models, and topographical data that enhance decision-making, improve efficiency, and reduce on-site risks. Whether working alongside Chartered Surveyors or directly with clients who require high-quality geospatial data, our services offer a cost-effective and time-saving solution for a wide range of projects.
In summary, drone surveys are a powerful and versatile tool for conducting land surveys, with the potential to improve accuracy and efficiency while reducing costs and risks.
