Where drone surveying can help
Drone data can be useful for larger sites, development documentation, progress records, terrain mapping and other assignments where an aerial perspective or dense imagery adds value.
Possible outputs
Depending on the equipment, processing method, control and agreed scope, outputs may include georeferenced imagery, orthomosaics, surface models, point-cloud information, contours or other mapping products.
Accuracy is project-specific
There is no responsible single accuracy promise for every drone survey. Results depend on factors such as equipment, flight planning, ground control/check points, terrain, vegetation, image quality, processing and the required coordinate/reference system.
Drone mapping does not automatically replace ground surveying. Some projects require ground control, detail that is not visible from the air, boundary/land-record work or conventional survey observations.
Permissions, weather and site conditions
Flight feasibility can depend on location, airspace or operational requirements, weather, site access and safety. These factors should be reviewed for the specific assignment before scheduling.
For service information, see drone survey and aerial mapping in Zanzibar. If the project is primarily about levels and site features for design, also see our topographical survey.
