Drone Surveying Reduces Field Time and Survey Expense

Drones are one of the best technological advancements of the past few years. Its usage is on the rise because of the high quality pictures and accurate data it generates with the HD cameras. The potential of aerial surveying with drones is rising in several sectors such as land development, mining, infrastructure development, maintenance and more. Drone serial surveying provides clear and accurate photographs which can be used to create a 3D model of your job site, with complete on scale measurements to speed up the planning and decision- making process.

A reliable drone service company will collect accurate measurements for you in the same way as with a plane or a helicopter but in a fraction of time, cost and planning. Drones can fly at a lower height than manned aircrafts, thereby, generating high-resolution, accurate data and does not get affected by weather conditions such as cloud cover. Aerial survey through drones also requires less manpower. As drones can fly almost anywhere, there are no limitations of harsh terrains, steep slopes, difficult to access environments etc.

Drones Mapping for 3D construction of Land Development

During a Florida aerial survey, a drone will photograph an area several times from several angles. The software tags each image with coordinates. The software then combines these images to provide you with 2D and 3D maps. A site planner will benefit from these models to get important data such as accurate distances and volumetric measurements. Features such as landforms, drains etc. can all be taken in to consideration easily while planning, eliminating chances of mistakes later on. With reliable Florida 3D mapping, planning of buildings, infrastructure, utilities become quick and easy.

As drone surveying is not as expensive as traditional means of surveying, the data collection process can be repeated, images can be taken at regular intervals and to check if development is going on as per schedule. 3D mapping software also makes it possible to get volume measurements from the images shot. This is useful to calculate stocks in mines for inventory purposes. As drones carry on this process from a height, site operations remain uninterrupted.

The Best Drone Service for Safety and Economic Benefits

Florida quick survey can be carried on by hiring an experienced and trained drone surveying and mapping company. When looking online, you will come across several companies offering drone services, but it is crucial to select the best suited company according to your needs.

For successful aerial surveying, the pilot should be skilled and trained for surveying. An improper aerial survey will provide inaccurate data which can cause losses and accidents. So, ensure that the company you hire is experienced and carries all necessary licenses and is insured for carrying out Florida licensed survey.  The survey company should have the expertise, technology and resources to carry out an accurate aerial survey. The pilot should have the training, qualifications and expertise to reach difficult to reach areas to get critical information about the job site.
