What Is A Drone Survey?
What is a drone survey and why should you consider one?
Capturing detail on your site from the sky can open up possibilities not previously available, and adds another dimension to the survey process. If you want to capture data on your site from above safely, efficiently, and in stunning detail, you might want to consider a drone or UAV survey. Here we’ll talk about what that might entail and how it might benefit you.
So, how does a Droney Survey work?
A drone survey uses UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to gather aerial data, capturing high-resolution imagery, and remote site measurements. It’s a non-intrusive, safe, and highly effective way to map your site, especially in inaccessible or potentially dangerous areas.
Laser Surveys operates with CAA-qualified pilots with the ability to perform drone data capture across the UK.
We capture imagery from multiple angles, stitch it into orthophoto mosaics, generate colour or monochrome point clouds, and create 3D renders, plus capture aerial photos and video. Each flight can be anchored to ground control to enable drone data to be incorporated into terrestrial survey datasets.
Drone Surveys Can Be Very Useful For:
- Topographic surveys of sites and stockpiles.
- Inaccessible roof areas for measured plan surveys
- Roof and façade inspections, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
- Construction progress tracking with repeat flights.
Deliverables
When you get a drone survey from Laser Surveys, you can receive:
- Orthographic photography.
- Stitched aerial images for production of plans/models
- High-res photos & video.
- Ideal for inspections or condition reports.
- 3D models and/or 2D plans
Advantages Of Drone Surveys
- Faster: entire site scans in a matter of minutes, not days
- Safer: no boots on the ground in potentially hazardous environments.
- Cost-effective: reduced field time and richer data for less, especially with larger sites.
- Survey results to otherwise inaccessible areas
