What Is Drone Surveying?

Drone surveying uses advanced UAVs with precision GPS to capture thousands of data points, creating accurate 3D models and topographical maps. From construction sites to quarries, it delivers survey-grade data faster and safer than traditional methods.

Centimeter-Level Accuracy

RTK/PPK technology delivers survey-grade precision for critical measurements

10x Faster Data Collection

Survey large sites in hours, not days. Data typically processed in 48-72 hours

Complete Digital Deliverables

3D models, point clouds, orthomosaics, and CAD files ready for your workflow

FAQ

Common Questions About Drone Surveying

Everything you need to know about our managed drone survey service

With RTK/PPK GPS, expect 2-5cm horizontal and vertical accuracy. Standard GPS provides 1-3m accuracy. Ground Control Points (GCPs) further improve precision.

Standard deliverables include orthomosaic maps, 3D point clouds, contour maps, DTM/DSM, volumetric reports, and CAD files. All formats compatible with industry software.

Single flight covers 20-100 hectares depending on resolution needed. Larger sites use multiple flights. Most pilots can survey 500+ hectares per day.

Yes, pilots can establish and survey GCPs for maximum accuracy, or work with your existing control network. RTK drones may not require GCPs.

Absolutely. All surveys can be delivered in OSGB36 National Grid coordinates or any required coordinate system. Integration with existing site data guaranteed.

Light rain and overcast conditions are fine for surveying. Strong winds or heavy rain require rescheduling. Free weather delays included in all quotes.
