Drone laser scanning has applications across many industries, but one area where it is being used with significant effect is in the construction industry.

Drones have taken the world by storm and aerial drone survey services are soaring in popularity with businesses. They are simple for professionals to use and give their users, or end clients, consistent accuracy while increasing worker safety.

Aerial imagery has been done for decades but businesses don’t benefit from flat images that are also a decade old and don’t contain embedded data.

Seawall surveys using drones (UAVs) provide efficiency and safety benefits, as well as generating detailed, survey-accurate 3D data.

Survey large road areas without needing to close roads and engage in time-consuming manual surveys. Recon has a wealth of experience using drones to obtain survey-accurate data on roads. We are CAA-certified and use the latest drone technology, ensuring safe drone flights and the high quality results.

Drone mapping is growing to replace manual surveying in most circumstances as a more cost-effective and data-rich method of mapping. Drones can combine high-resolution photography and LiDAR to collect detailed images and measurements of a surveyed site. The survey results can then be compared with past surveys or other data sources to generate powerful CAD and GIS models, improving strategic decision-making across a range of fields.

Skyline’s GIS software offers the latest in interactive and photorealistic 3D modelling, designed to enhance decision making across a range of industries. Recon is the New Zealand distributor of Skyline software, with experience working with its suite of 3D visualisation tools.

Precise as-built surveys are critical to the success of construction and renovation projects of all kinds. For many projects, it isn’t possible to rely on old plans which may contain inaccuracies.

Drone Mapping Services from Recon - Surveying consultants who bring together years of experience & the latest technology for superior accuracy & decision making.

Aerial drone mapping outperforms traditional surveying techniques, completing surveys more quickly and giving you access to far more detailed data. Due to the reduced manpower and disruption to operations required, it is often more cost effective as well.

Recon's fleet of aerial mapping drones allows us to quickly and accurately model the ground surface.

Understanding how CAA Pt 102 certification can help your drone project can be a key step in mitigating delays and potentially breaking New Zealand's civil aviation laws.

Why is a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle, or drone) a better solution for power line modelling?

Carrying out 3D point cloud survey work involves precision and consistency to capture accurate scans of built and natural landscapes.

Whether the area of development involves historic structure preservation, new construction or renovation work, 3D scanning can be done quickly and effectively to provide detailed documentation to allow your construction project to be undertaken with great accuracy.

A BIM building scanning service is usually the first and most important step in a BIM project involving an existing building. Recon building scans are photorealistic and record a building’s dimensions and contents quickly and precisely.

Drone 3D Mapping technology can be utilised in a variety of settings and for a range of purposes. Drones combined with 3D mapping capabilities offer a fast and cost effective way to

LiDAR equipped drones take advantage of recent advances in drone technology, geospatial data and 3D mapping to turn what was once a time consuming project into a streamlined process.

LiDAR is an acronym for “light detection and ranging”. It works by blanketing an area with lasers that are then reflected back and measurement data captured.
