Cost effective, safer, and provide accurate topographic information.

Stockpile Quantities Aerial surveys are cost effective, safer, and provide accurate topographic information. The accuracy of our drone mapping is comparable to traditionally survey methods, customers have also found considerable benefit in the following:

Cost:
Aerial mapping topography saves our customers money as it is able to cover larger areas than a typical survey crew in the same amount of time, reducing costs almost in half. On a recent project we were able to survey a group of stockpiles in just an hour – a task that would have taken 8 hours with two surveyors. This project generated 50 million data points!

More Information:
Unlike a ground-based GPS survey, an aerial survey also captures visual information that can be a helpful management tool. We can generate high resolution air photos as well as high-resolution 2-dimensional maps and 3-dimensional models. Typical GPS surveys only provide computer generated surfaces.

 

Safety:
Putting survey crews near steep slopes and blast faces – especially on active piles and quarries – can pose safety risks to individuals. By utilizing aerial surveys, the survey instruments are 80 metres above the ground surface with the UAV pilot stationed on the ground in a safe location.
