Topographic Site Surveys & Mapping Services

Below are examples of services we regularly provide for local clients in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao:

We also provide the following other drone and geo packages:

• Construction Stake Out, Subdivision and Relocation Survey
• Boundary, As-built, GPS, and Cross Section Survey
• Volumetric and Distance Measurements
• Agricultural Survey for Crop Health and Tree Counting
• Aerial Photogrammetry
• Vicinity & Thematic Mapping
• Slope & Erosion Monitoring
• Building Information Models
• Pilot and Operator Training

If you need help finding the right solution for your project, you may send an inquiry to consult with our engineers and pilots.

Land surveying with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) uses new photogrammetry technology in hardware and software to conduct high quality topographic surveys
– faster and cheaper than traditional GIS methods.

When you conduct a survey with UAVs, a drone is deployed to record data from the air by making multiple passes over the project area from multiple angles. These drones are equipped with sensors such as RGB or multispectral cameras to photograph the ground, make distance and elevation measurements, and LIDAR payloads depending on what data is needed.

Each image is tagged with GPS coordinates by surveyors and are stitched together using photogrammetry software to create useful and detailed data visualisations. These are commonly geo-referenced orthomosaics, elevation maps, or 3D models of the project site that let you make accurate measurements for distance and volume.

The invention of highly robust drones and data analysis software has completely transformed the way we get data and geospatial information system (GIS) surveys. UAVs are now a common method in construction, real estate, power generation, urban planning, and other industries that need up-to-date mapping information for many reasons.

Save time, money, and manpower needed for surveys
Using drones save weeks of time when you need to collect data for large sites. Traditional methods require you to deploy multiple teams and constantly move heavy equipment which increases costs, while UAVs can cover a wide area and capture the same data for massively less time and money.

Map hard to reach areas
UAV surveys reach areas that are near impossible or very time-consuming to cover on foot because they can take off from anywhere and are piloted remotely. This removes any artificial limitations your reports or proposals might have.

Significantly reduce safety risks for personnel
Occupational health and safety risks in unknown terrain or industrial sites are completely eliminated by using drones. Drones can be sent to avoid endangering your surveyors if your project covers steep slopes, roads or highways, heavy machinery, and other high risk areas.

Generate accurate and comprehensive GIS data
Drone flights can be designed to make thousands of measurements in highly detailed increments, instead of measuring only individual points. These can be converted into point clouds, contour lines, orthomosaics, and many other map types for your project.

Improve reports with data visualization and graphics
Drone software lets us present the results of each aerial land survey in a variety of ways. This data can be overlayed into photographs and stylized videos to increase the impact of your reports and proposals.

Remain operational and avoid downtimes
Drones allow your project to continue your operations while they gather data. No need to pull teams away from critical functions or pause construction work to conduct surveys.

The price of construction surveys and data analysis with UAVs depend on multiple factors including:

• Size of the area to be surveyed (square meters/kilometers)
• Complexity of maps and models required
• Time frame on when output needs to be delivered

All drone services are highly flexible in duration, coverage, and data type and can be designed to meet any specific requirement. If you would like a detailed estimate of how much it would cost to map your project site, simply send us a message and we will send you a free quote.

Our land surveyor services are all designed to be easy, comprehensive, and helpful. It only takes 4 steps from start to finish which includes a free consultation and quote with our engineers and pilots.
