Aerial Topographic Surveys
We specialise in delivering high-precision aerial topographic surveys using advanced RTK-enabled enterprise drone systems. Our cutting-edge technology allows us to capture detailed data over large areas quickly and efficiently, providing our clients with high-resolution, centimetre-accurate survey results.
Advanced Data Collection and Processing
Our aerial surveys begin with the deployment of RTK-enabled drones, which capture high-quality images of the site. These images are then processed to produce comprehensive point clouds, Digital Elevation Models (DEM), and orthomosaics. The accuracy of our data is verified through surveyed checkpoints, ensuring a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) typically between 3cm to 4cm.
Delivering High-Quality Survey Outputs
We take the data further by using the DEM and orthomosaic to create precise Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) surfaces and detailed topographic linework. These outputs are essential for a variety of applications, from construction planning to environmental assessments. Our standard deliverables include:
TIN Surface: A 3D model representing the surface topography.
Detailed Linework: Accurate topographic lines for features such as contours, boundaries, and infrastructure.
All deliverables are provided in industry-standard AutoCAD™ DWG format, ensuring seamless integration with your existing workflows.
Industry-Leading Accuracy
Our aerial topographic surveys meet the highest industry standards, with accuracy conforming to RICS Band G, making them suitable for 1:500 scale topographic surveys. This level of precision ensures that our clients receive reliable data that can be confidently used in critical decision-making processes.
Why Choose Us?
By choosing us for your topographic survey requirements, you benefit from:
- Rapid Deployment: Faster data collection compared to traditional ground surveys.
- High Accuracy: Centimetre-level accuracy verified through rigorous quality checks.
- Comprehensive Deliverables: Ready-to-use TIN surfaces and linework in AutoCAD™ DWG format.
