Aerial Surveys & Inspection

Aerial Surveys provide crucial datasets for planning and development of large-scale project areas. Datasets are typically collected in two different formats. VISUAL DATA (colour/infrared/thermal imagery) and TERRAIN DATA (LIDAR or Photogrammetric). The rapid rise of UAV technology has re-vitalised the interest in this survey field and lowered the cost. We operate a number of different UAV platforms to provide services for mapping, construction monitoring, inspection and land-invasion applications. All of our aircraft and pilots are registered with the SACAA for the above applications. We also have close associations with a number of industry-leading, large-format service providers to provide complete aerial datasets regardless of the project size.
