Using our state of the art drone, sometimes also called a UAV or UAS, on your projects sets our drone surveying and reality capture services apart:

  • Advanced Drone Technology – Dual Cameras with a thermal imaging sensor, industry leading flight times, and 360º obstacle avoidance
  • High-Resolution 50 Megapixel Imaging – Obtain incredible details, accurate orthophotos, and 4x lossless zoom and 16x digital zoom. About 5 times the detail than most drones systems with cameras others are using
  • Videogrammetry – 8K video with 30Hz refresh rates for accurate and detailed videography and detailed 3D thermal maps
  • High-Resolution Thermal Imaging Camera – High-resolution thermal imaging camera 
  • Quick Data Acquisition – Sites up to 100 acres completed in hours, not days, weeks, or months.
  • Rapid Data Processing – Drone obtained images and data processed in hours, usually the same day
  • Cost-effective solutions – Accurately map small to large sites quickly and efficiently with turnaround times in days or weeks instead of months using conventional land surveying techniques

  • Rigorous QA/QC – We employ rigorous and thorough quality assurance and quality control systems and methodologies

We can provide drone surveying services and coordinate the resulting mapping into your project. Depending on the site, we may employ additional 3D reality capture & mobile mapping solutions, including laser scanning, or conventional land surveying techniques, including GPS, to locate areas not visible from above or obscured by vegetation.

We can provide:

  • 3D surface creation
  • 3D site modeling
  • 3D plans and mapping
  • 2D plans and mapping
  • Site and building analysis
  • Heat maps and building evaluations
  • Solar field/panels maintenance inspections
  • Inspections
  • As-built surveys
  • Road and alignment mapping
  • Construction monitoring
  • Stockpile volume calculations
  • Land planning and development support
  • CAD and GIS Integration
