Commercial grade drone surveys to provide aerial 3D drone mapping solutions across Scotland and Northern England.
With the use of Aerial Drone Surveys, we can offer 3D topographical maps, stockpile yard 3D models, infrastructure and asset 3D models. Our drone surveys can capture specific areas of interest for our customers using HD camera capturing technology which is then processed to produce a final 3D modelling solution.
We can provide our aerial drone mapping services using the following:
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a process where we take a collection of still images taken on a drone survey and stitch them together to create measurements. Photogrammetry can produce incredibly accurate and detailed 3D modelling that is processed by our award winning cloud based software. Photogrammetry is perfect for land surveys and mapping regions.
LiDAR
While photogrammetry requires the use of still imagery, LiDAR uses laser and light to provide measurements. On more ‘detailed’ environments ie. woodland, built up city areas and other areas with multiple obstructions and obstacles, LiDAR is the preferred choice for aerial drone mapping. The flexible configurations offered by LiDAR allow it to gather huge amounts of data and photographic imagery for mapping and aerial surveys.
Our aerial drone surveys can be used for:
- Aerial Drone Mapping and Photography
- Monitoring Construction
- Aerial Inspections and Drone Mapping
- Difficult Access Inspection & Mapping (Roof’s, Wind Turbines, Cell Tower’s, Utility Lines, Bridges, Oil Platforms and other hard to access areas.)
- Aerial Photo’s/Video
3D drone surveys can be performed in a fraction of the time that regular and conventional survey and inspection methods would take.
Aerial Drone Mapping
We use the scientific process of photogrammetry to provide reliable drone mapping services for our customers in construction, agriculture, mining and infrastructure across Scotland and the North of England.
The use of commercial drone services is having a profound effect on so many industries across the country. For example, 2D drone mapping and 3D digital surface models used for land and mining applications are becoming an integral part of the day to day operations of companies in these sectors as it allows them to quickly and easily monitor progress and track volume measurement of materials.
Drone surveys for monitoring construction sites
When it comes to stockpile or inventory that needs to be calculated on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis, our drone surveys can significantly cut the time it takes to conduct a survey from weeks to days with less time on site. And less time disruption means more cost savings for you!
At Balmore, we have built a reputation across these industries (and more) as a reliable, dependable and quality drone service provider. Something that has been backed up with our multiple awards for service provided and technology used.
All of our drone pilots are full time employees of the company and are fully trained, qualified and certified to conduct our range of drone surveys, inspections and 3D modelling services that our clients require up and down the country.
No matter what industry your business may be in and no matter what survey services you require, Balmore are the leading choice for commercial aerial drone hire.
Orthographic Surveys – The benefits
The benefits of orthographical surveys carried out by aerial drone surveys are significant in comparison to conventional ground based inspections.
The speed at which these drone surveys can be carried out is one of the most impressive factors. Our UAV drone surveys can cover a large site area in a fraction of the time of a ground based survey. And the efficiency of the captured data from our orthographic survey is infinitely more impressive and accurate.
Infact, when we conduct our drone surveys, we can store the GPS flight path and altitude heights so that future, comparison data can be analysed for future use.
The measurable data collected from a drone survey is accurate down to centimetres and we can conduct measurements in distance or volume depending on your requirements.
The world of drone surveys has only just begun to scratch the surface of what is possible for accurate, efficient and powerful orthographic surveys. With significant cost savings, improved accuracy and faster turn around times, our 3D modelling site surveys and orthographic surveys across the UK are changing things for the better.
