Did you know that 2D CAD models can be produced from the survey grade accurate digital data from drone technology for hard to reach residential, commercial or industrial roofs e.g block of flats, office block, shopping centre, or warehouse. Using the 2D/3D digital outputs from drone technology can significantly aid the design and planning process for roof top developments helping all parties involved e.g. architects, building surveyors, planners, developers or construction co

Really enjoyed speaking at the Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) event last week about the use of geospatial technologies/intelligence for the surveying, modelling, maintenance and inspection of infrastructure assets. From drones to satellite sensors, from ground penetrating radar to immersive and 3D technologies, from LiDAR to Building Information Modelling (BIM) and machine learning, geospatial data is being incorporated into building & maintaining infrastructure practices r

We carried out some 3D laser scanning and created a 3D BIM model of a project as a lot of redesign work was required. The reason for doing this at the planning and design phase was: it allows for clash detection, mitigates risk, facilitates better design, improves collaboration which ultimately saves the client time and money on the project. Who doesn’t want to improve their margins. Our client required a highly accurate and detailed point cloud of all objects and structures

Solar farms tend to be very large installations of solar panels that have traditionally been inspected manually using hand-held thermal cameras but with the evolution of drone technology and thermal imaging cameras it can be done much quicker and be more effective in identifying issues. Solar panel inspections can now be carried out much faster and more accurately while also improving safety. Our drones can carry both thermal and RGB (visible light) cameras at the same time a

Solar panel inspections have traditionally been done manually using hand-held thermal cameras but with the evolution of drone technology thermal imaging cameras can be easily integrated into the platform. Solar panel inspections can now be carried out much faster and more accurately while also improving safety from working at height. Roof top solar panel installations can be hard to access and inspect but this isn’t the case when using drone technology. Our drones can carry b
