The Best Topographical Land Surveys are the most accurate, the most precise and most cost effective. They must include the correct level of detail and must be surveyed and delivered in the most appropriate format.

We produce high resolution geo-referenced images that can be used in CAD software. These images can add context and give our clients the added confidence that nothing is missing. Our method for undertaking Topographical Surveys involves using experienced surveyors, combined with modern technology including Total Stations and GPS/GNSS for site survey control. […]

Heritage site survey solutions

Heritage site survey involve detailed spatial and condition assessments of historic buildings, landscapes, and archaeological sites using technologies like 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, and geophysical methods to gather accurate data for conservation, restoration planning, and to ensure compliance with preservation guidelines and modern safety standards. These surveys create precise digital models (digital […]

When should we use Photogrammetry and when should we use LiDAR?

Our opinion is; if you require the best results use both. And use both terrestrial and aerial data capture. Photogrammetry uses photos to create 3D models, excelling in rich color/texture and cost-effectiveness, while LiDAR uses lasers for highly accurate, structure-focused point clouds, penetrating vegetation for detailed terrain mapping even in […]

Updateing Measured Building Surveys to include data capture methods using survey grade drones, terrestial laser scanners and SLAM Technology. And adding reality models to the list of deliverables.

 A measured building survey is the process of precisely measuring a building’s dimensions, layout, and structural features to create accurate technical drawings or 3D models. Conducted by professional surveyors, it provides the essential “building block” of information needed for various construction, renovation, and design projects Uses for a measured building survey […]

Heritage Site Survey Solutions

A recent Heritage site survey project involved detailed spatial and condition assessments of historic buildings, landscapes, and an archaeological site using technologies that included 3D terrestrial laser scanning, SLAM scanning, aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry both aerial and terrestrial. These surveys created precise digital models (digital twins) and detailed records of a site’s […]

Forestry: Asset verification, mapping, measurement and valuation.

To measure trees accurately you need to deploy both photogrammetry and LiDAR-equipped devices on drones or backpack. Photogrammetry provides ortho-rectified, geo-referenced images, visual verification of the asset. Drone mounted LiDAR penetrates the forest canopy to provide accurate measurements of individual tree spread and height and ground levels. We know that the […]

Why did we upgrade to the new Hovermap STX. Because it combines SLAM and GPS for precise mapping making it, in our opinion, the best SLAM scanner on the market.

The Hovermap STX with GPS provides more accurate, higher-density 3D mapping with a 300m scanning range, double the laser sensors of the original ST model, and advanced GPS auto-geolocation for effortless alignment to coordinates. It offers faster data acquisition, improved accuracy, longer autonomous flight range in GPS-denied areas, and better performance for […]

What is Reality Capture

Reality capture is the process of digitally documenting a physical environment to create an accurate 3D model, such as a point cloud or mesh. This is achieved using technologies like laser scanning or photogrammetry (using photographs) and can be used for applications in construction, architecture, and surveying to document existing conditions, monitor projects, and create […]

Upgrading to the WingtraGen II.

It’s worth it for professionals like us, focused on fast, high-accuracy mapping and surveying, especially we need to cover large areas efficiently and require reliable data without constant use of ground control points.  The upgrade offers improved construction, flight safety, and landing precision, faster data capture, longer flight times for […]

Mapping in a very challenging environment.

What do you do when you have a very complex site with limited access, a hot dusty environment and the whole area is vibrating? Oh, and the clients says I just need to know where I can fix 6 anchor points……….and we need to keep costs to a minimum! Our […]
