UAV Drone Surveys
Accurate, efficient & safe data capture for every site
Drone surveying is transforming how land surveyors, engineers, and developers map and measure the world around them. By combining aerial data with precise ground control, our Melbourne-based drone surveying service delivers high-resolution maps, models, and measurements faster, safer, and more cost-effectively than traditional fieldwork alone.
Why Choose Drone Surveying?
1. Faster Turnaround, Lower Cost
Acquire thousands of data points in minutes what once took days of fieldwork now takes hours. Drone surveys drastically reduce on-site time, mobilisation costs, and repeat visits while maintaining accuracy.
2. High-Precision Data
Using RTK-enabled drones, calibrated cameras, and ground control points, we deliver centimetre-level accuracy suitable for design, engineering, and volumetric calculations.
3. Safe Access to Difficult Terrain
From steep embankments to construction sites or restricted areas, drones collect data safely and remotely — keeping surveyors out of harm’s way and ensuring full site coverage.
4. Rich Visual Insights
Generate detailed 2D orthomosaic maps, 3D terrain models, and point clouds for deeper spatial analysis. Visualise contours, elevations, and surface conditions directly within CAD or GIS platforms.
5. Seamless Data Integration
All outputs are delivered in compatible formats and are ready to integrate with your existing survey data, design plans, or digital twins.
Service Applications
Land Development & Subdivision
Rapidly collect current site conditions to support planning permits, subdivision design, and boundary verification. Ideal for large or evolving estates across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Topographic & Feature Surveys
Obtain comprehensive topographic maps with fine detail — including buildings, vegetation, and terrain features at a fraction of the time traditional surveying requires.
Construction & Infrastructure Monitoring
Monitor project progress, cut/fill volumes, and as-built conditions through repeatable aerial surveys. Identify discrepancies early and maintain tight quality control.
Volume Calculations
Accurately measure stockpiles, earthworks, and material movement. Drone-based volume assessments are faster, safer, and deliver consistent accuracy over time.
Environmental & Agricultural Mapping
Collect orthomosaics, canopy data, and terrain models for environmental planning, flood studies, and vegetation analysis.
Aerial Inspection & Asset Management
Inspect infrastructure, rooftops, and hard-to-reach assets without scaffolding or shutdowns reducing downtime and improving safety.
