UAV/Drone Surveys
At South West Surveys, we operate our own in-house drone operations with fully insured, CAA-approved pilots. Our advanced drone surveys offer unparalleled data collection capabilities, reaching areas that are otherwise inaccessible or pose high risks, such as railways, motorways, dilapidated structures, or small islands.
Drones are an invaluable addition to our surveying arsenal, capable of covering large expanses of land from open farmland to dense woodland. Our advanced lidar system can penetrate tree canopies to map the ground beneath, providing comprehensive data on:
- Plant health and vigour
- Weed location and density
- Precise area measurements
- Elevation changes
Our 42MP camera delivers high-resolution JPG images, which can also be provided as a rich 3D point cloud. This capability is ideal for capturing entire sites or supplementing datasets that terrestrial laser scanners cannot reach.
