ProDroneWorx combines the latest advances in 3D terrestrial laser scanning and drone technology to provide our Construction, Asset Inspection, Engineering, Surveying, Environmental, Planning, Ecology and Architectural clients with a wide range of high quality digital mapping, inspection, modelling and surveying services across the UK.

Through collaboration with our clients we provide both 3D terrestrial laser scanning and drone technology solutions to solve everyday business problems.

We offer a wide range of digital information services: 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning, Scan To BIM & REVIT Modelling, Aerial LiDAR, Drone Inspection, Drone Survey, Volume Measurement, 3D Modelling, Progress Monitoring, Topographical Survey, Digital Surface Model (DSM), Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Orthomosaic/Orthophoto, Thermal Imaging and Photography & Video.

Drone Inspection & Surveying

Drones have a wide variety of uses from 3D modelling (point clouds and textured models), topographical surveys, digital terrain models (DTM) and volume measurement, asset inspections to progress monitoring.

Drone technology can be deployed quickly, safely and cost effectively on any project to capture survey grade accurate 2D or 3D digital/reality capture information.

3D Laser Scanning

When precision surveying in high accuracy and high value projects is required, 3D laser scanning is the go to capture method.

3D laser scanning collects millions of individual point measurements within minutes. The measurements are then plotted within a single XYZ coordinate system to form a 'point cloud' of the object’s external surface.

With the addition of GPS data these points can be geo-referenced and transformed into a global reference system.

Scan To BIM & REVIT Modelling

We use 3D laser scanners to create accurate and detailed Building Information Models (BIM) in different formats that can be used in renovations, retrofits or refurbishment projects.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the creation and management of data through a building’s life cycle where intelligent 3D CAD models are used. We can create accurate BIM 3D models from surveyed 3D laser scanning data i.e. SCAN TO BIM.

With this information our 3D BIM modellers can accurately re-create the as-built site using BIM software e.g. Autodesk Revit.

The 2D/3D digital or reality capture data from drone inspection or drone surveying can be used in the following ways on any construction, infrastructure or asset inspection project:

Design, planning, construction and marketing stages of a project
Aid master planning and logistic planning as well as identifying and mitigating against potential program risks
Pre-acquisition, due diligence, dilapidation or schedule of conditions survey plus for planned maintenance programs
Manage asset inspection data digitally from a drone survey or inspection
Aerial LiDAR for forest inventory, floodplain mapping, hydrology, landscape ecology, coastal engineering, landslide monitoring, erosion and deformation monitoring, survey assessments and volumetric calculations
Topographical survey of land, site or project
3D model (3D textured or 3D point cloud) of an object, structure or land to gain a better understanding of the project from different angles
Digital surface/terrain models (DSM/DTM) to visualise gradient change
Contour lines can be generate to understand topography
Manage earthworks with cut and fill volumetric measurements
Drone survey for environmental and ecology monitoring
Industrial, commercial and office roof inspection surveys
Scan to BIM & REVIT Modelling
Digital construction
Virtual reality (VR)
