Asset Management, Building & Engineering Inspections 

Detailed aerial inspections of buildings, structures, infrastructure and other assets.

Our drones & payloads allow us to safely capture detailed information from areas that can be difficult, costly or time-consuming to inspect from the ground.

We can provide a clear visual record of an asset, identify areas requiring attention and collect detailed data for further assessment, maintenance or record keeping.

Our inspections can provide:

  • Detailed aerial imagery

  • Close-up inspection data

  • Thermal information

  • 3D data and measurements

  • Condition records

  • Inspection reports

  • Data for engineers, surveyors and other specialists

  • AI enabled data capture and RTK positioning for repeat survey accuracy

From routine inspections to more detailed surveys, we can tailor the data collected to suit the requirements of each project.

See our industries listing to find out more about how this may be of use to your project.

3D Modelling (LiDAR, Photogrammetry & Guassian Splatting)

We create detailed 3D models of buildings, structures, sites and assets using drone-based data capture.

3D models provide an easy way to view and understand a site or asset from any angle, while also allowing measurements and further information to be taken from the data.

They can be used for planning, design, inspection, record keeping, measurement and project documentation.

Our 3D modelling services can provide:

  • Detailed 3D models

  • Digital representations of buildings and structures

  • Site and terrain models

  • Measurements and dimensions

  • High-resolution photographic detail

  • Data for design and engineering

  • Digital records of existing assets

  • Data for use by other professionals

We can capture everything from individual buildings and structures to larger sites and areas, providing accurate digital information without the need for extensive traditional surveying.

Mapping (2D & 3D)

Accurate aerial mapping for sites, land, buildings and infrastructure.

We use drone technology to capture detailed information over large or difficult-to-access areas and turn it into clear, useful mapping data.

Our mapping services can support planning, design, construction, measurement, inspection and ongoing site management.

Our mapping services can provide:

  • Detailed aerial maps

  • Site plans

  • Survey data

  • Measurements and areas

  • Erosion monitoring 

  • Costal mapping

  • Terrain information

  • 3D site data

  • Digital mapping for existing sites

  • Progress and change monitoring

  • Data for engineers, surveyors and other specialists

From individual sites to larger areas, we can provide up-to-date mapping quickly and efficiently, with data tailored to the requirements of each project.

Thermography / Thermal Imagery & Inspection 

Thermal inspections allow us to identify temperature differences across buildings, equipment, structures and other assets.

By combining thermal and visual imagery, we can highlight areas that may require further investigation, helping provide a better understanding of an asset's condition.

Thermal inspections can help identify:

  • Heat loss

  • Overheating

  • Water ingress

  • Electrical issues

  • Equipment problems

  • Solar panel issues

  • Areas of abnormal temperature

Thermal inspections can be carried out as a standalone service or combined with our other drone survey services to provide a more complete picture of an asset.

The result is clear, useful information that can help with maintenance, investigation and decision-making.

Data Gathering, Environmental surveys & Population counts

Drone surveys provide a safe and efficient way to gather information across large or difficult-to-access areas.

We can capture detailed aerial data to support environmental monitoring, conservation, wildlife management and habitat assessment.

Data gathering can include:

  • Habitat surveys

  • Wildlife monitoring

  • Vegetation surveys

  • Land and habitat mapping

  • Site monitoring

  • Change over time

  • General aerial photography & site data gathering 

  • Environmental monitoring

  • Conservation projects

  • Areas that are difficult to access from the ground

  • pollution detection and monitoring 

Data can be collected over individual sites or larger areas and provided in a format suitable for monitoring, planning, research, conservation and ongoing management.

We can provide clear aerial imagery, mapping and other survey data to help understand, monitor and manage the environment.

Our approach can be tailored to the requirements of each project, from a simple aerial survey to detailed data collection across larger areas.

Quantity Surveying 

Drone surveys can provide a quick and accurate way to measure sites, materials and areas.

We can collect detailed aerial data to help establish quantities and provide up-to-date information for construction, earthworks, quarries and other projects.

Our surveys can provide:

  • Stockpile volumes

  • Cut and fill quantities

  • Site measurements

  • Area calculations

  • Earthwork volumes

  • Progress measurements

  • Material quantities

  • Site records

The collected data can be used to support costing, planning, progress monitoring and project management, while reducing the need for extensive manual measurements on site.

Multispectral Imagery and Mapping

Multispectral drone surveys provide information about vegetation and land that cannot be seen from normal aerial photography.

By capturing different wavelengths of light, we can identify changes in vegetation and provide a clearer picture of the condition and variation across an area.

Multispectral surveys can be used for:

  • Crop and vegetation monitoring

  • Plant health

  • Forestry

  • Habitat monitoring

  • Land management

  • Vegetation mapping

  • Identifying areas of change

  • Monitoring areas over time

The data can be mapped across the survey area to provide a clear visual representation of vegetation and land conditions.

This can help with monitoring, management, planning and identifying areas that may require further investigation.

Maps can be provided for evaluation and in formats for use in variable rate treatment maps.

Bespoke Solutions

Not every project fits into a standard drone survey.

We can develop bespoke drone-based solutions for projects that require something different, using specialist sensors, equipment and data collection methods.

This can include:

  • NDT and specialist inspection equipment

  • Water sampling

  • Gas detection

  • Specialist environmental monitoring

  • Custom data collection

  • Bespoke inspection requirements

  • Other specialist sensors and equipment

If you have a difficult-to-access area, a specific data requirement or a problem that needs a different approach, talk to us about your requirements.

We can look at the project and develop a practical drone-based solution to suit it.
