UAV Aerial Surveys &
Imagery

UAV surveys (also called drone surveys) use Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to collect data about the land from the sky. Instead of walking a site with traditional tools, we can now fly drones equipped with cameras, GPS, and sensors to quickly gather accurate mapping and elevation data.

Using a drone to collect data has massive advantages to projects when applied in the correct way including:

  • Speed: Cover large areas in a fraction of the time compared to ground surveys.
  • Accuracy: With proper setup and ground control points, drones can capture survey-grade data.
  • Cost Effective: Reduces labour time and equipment needs.
  • Safety: Keeps surveyors out of dangerous terrain like cliffs, quarries, or active sites.
  • High Detail: Captures terrain, vegetation, and site features in rich detail.

 

Our flights are often in conjunction with other traditional methods of surveying to provide you with the best quality product at the best price.

UAV Imagery

The rapid development of drones has led to a significant increase in their use for surveying applications.

  • Progress photos and videos for projects of all kinds have become very popular to show works completed and construction processes.
  • Photos and videos to use for promotional or visualisation purposes including testing views from buildings before they are constructed.
  • Inspection of difficult to reach places such as roofs and cliffs to save time and cost to investigate using traditional methods like scaffolding.
  • Imagery to aid planning and sequencing works.

Although drones are very accessible and popular in today’s world to operate a drone safely and legally you must hold the required training certificates and approval from the CAA to operate in the UK. Our team hold all the relevant qualifications and insurances to provided you with a stress-free service, so you don’t have to worry.
