Topographic Surveys with UAV's / Drones
Topographical surveys by drone involve using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, to collect high-resolution topographic data over a specific area.
The data collected by drones can be used to create accurate 3D models, maps, and digital terrain models that show the elevation, contours, and features of the land. This technology can be faster, safer, and more cost-effective than traditional surveying methods.

Advantages Of Topographic Drone Surveys
Topographic drone surveys offer several advantages over traditional surveying methods, including:
-
Faster data collection: Topographic drone surveys can cover large areas quickly, collecting high-resolution data in a fraction of the time it takes to survey the same area using traditional ground-based methods.
-
Improved accuracy: By using drones equipped with advanced sensors and software, topographic drone surveys can provide highly accurate, three-dimensional maps of the survey area, including detailed elevation data.
-
Increased safety: Topographic drone surveys can be conducted remotely, reducing the need for surveyors to work in dangerous or hard-to-reach areas, such as steep cliffs or hazardous industrial sites.
-
Cost-effective: Compared to traditional surveying methods, topographic drone surveys are often more cost-effective, as they require fewer personnel and resources to complete.
-
Enhanced visualization: Topographic drone surveys can provide detailed, three-dimensional models of the survey area, allowing stakeholders to visualize the terrain and plan more effectively.
Overall, topographic drone surveys offer a fast, accurate, and cost-effective way to gather high-quality data for a range of applications, including construction, land development, and environmental monitoring.

Topographical Survey
This type of survey is regularly used in construction, engineering, and land development projects, as it provides detailed information about the land’s topography such as accurate location, height and depth using the latest RTK technology. We can also deliver volumetric surveys for keeping track of construction materials and aggregate stocks.
The purpose of a topographic survey is to gather spatial data relating to the specified sites features whether they are natural or man made.
We use the National Ordinance Survey grid and datum information along side RTK (real-time kinematic) when running topographical surveys.
