Drone Mapping Services
The range of drone mapping services available are vast and can enhance projects in almost any industry through invaluable GIS mapping that was previously much more difficult or even impossible to obtain. Here are just a few examples of the drone mapping services Recon has provided recently:
Monitoring agricultural land and natural resources for early signs of flooding and erosion
Flyovers of constructions projects to check progress against plans at every stage
Measuring steel mill stockpile volumes quickly and accurately with zero interruption to operations
Identifying planted forest species and surveying vegetation health
Road corridor modelling and month-end earthworks calculations for construction projects
Recon’s drone surveys capture data using both high resolution photography and LiDAR (laser scanning). While photogrammetry can be used to create detailed and to-scale maps, it is LiDAR in particular which allows for the full range of possibilities of drone mapping by capturing rich data in 3 dimensions. More information about LiDAR surveying and its effectiveness is available here.
Our drone mapping services and survey data modelling techniques are constantly evolving. If you are unsure how drone mapping could help your project, it’s worth getting in touch to discuss what the possibilities are, especially if your project is at an early stage.
Our Expertise
The recent proliferation of drones has resulted in Civil Aviation rule changes restricting how they can be used. In order to obtain the exemptions required to operate drone mapping services, Recon had to provide the Civil Aviation Authority with procedures and manuals demonstrating robust systems and procedures which ensure minimal risk to the public from our drone flights. As a result, Recon has been approved to conduct drone surveys over populated areas and road corridors. You can rest assured that we have the qualifications and experience to get the job done safely and to the highest standard.
