How does it work?
After an initial consultation with one of our land surveyors or civil engineering staff, our team conducts a site visit and sets survey control. Next, one of our pilots flies over the project area and collects data and aerial imagery. The data is processed by Align and then we produce the deliverable in both electronic and hard copy format that includes topographic maps and volume reports. We use professional software including Auto CAD, Carlson, and PIX4D.
In What settings is UAV beneficial?
UAV technology is advantageous in many types of settings but can be extremely helpful for projects that cover a large quantity of relatively clear ground. Examples include:
-
Large tracts of land for future residential or commercial use
-
New roads and trails
-
Quarries and stockpiles
