Aerial photography involves capturing images from an elevated position, like via aircraft or drones, for purposes such as marketing or inspection. It focuses on high-quality visual representation. Mapping, however, is about creating detailed maps from geographic data, including measuring distances and elevations, and interpreting features on the ground. Essentially, aerial photography is about capturing images, while mapping is about creating detailed, data-driven maps.

Our drone surveys deliver high precision,

achieving accuracy within a few centimetres. We use advanced GPS technology combined with survey control methods, ensuring reliable data suitable for engineering, construction, and planning purposes.

We provide a range of data outputs, including orthomosaic maps, 3D terrain models, contour maps, volume calculations, feature extraction and 3D point clouds. These comprehensive datasets help with detailed analysis, planning, and decision-making across various industries.

Weather plays a crucial role in the success of drone surveying and mapping projects. Ideal conditions are clear skies with low wind to ensure stable flight and high-quality imagery. Rain, fog, or strong winds can delay projects or affect data quality, so we carefully monitor forecasts and plan flights accordingly.

While drone surveying offers faster, safer, and often more cost-effective data collection over large areas, it is typically used to complement rather than completely replace traditional ground surveys. For certain precise measurements or complex sites, ground verification remains essential.
