ERCS International - UAV Division

Expanding Our UAV Survey Capabilities: Introducing Thermal Detection We're thrilled to announce a major enhancement to our UAV survey services with thermal detection. This cutting-edge technology allows us to capture heat signatures, offering new insights for a variety of applications, including: - Environmental Monitoring: Detecting heat stress in vegetation, monitoring wildlife, and identifying water temperature variations. - Infrastructure Inspections: Pinpointing energy losses, assessing solar panels, and identifying potential issues in pipelines and powerlines. By integrating thermal imaging with our established magnetometry, photogrammetry & LiDAR services, we’re offering an ever expanding portfolio of services for our clients. Stay tuned for case studies showcasing how this new capability will drive smarter decisions across industries. If you're curious about how thermal detection can benefit your next project, let’s connect. #UAVSurveys #ThermalImaging #Innovation #EnvironmentalMonitoring #EnergyEfficiency #DataDriven #DroneTechnology #Sustainability #AerialSurveys

ERCS are proud to announce the successful completion of a large-scale, cost effective UXO survey in Scotland, in collaboration with Unexploded Scotland. In just 18.5 operational days, the team covered 74ha of LiDAR along with 77ha of magnetometer surveys, utilising the latest UAV technology to reduce project risks by identifying potential unexploded ordnance (UXO) on-site, particularly close to live operational assets. Through a combination of non-intrusive UAV-mounted magnetometer, LiDAR, and photogrammetry surveys, we successfully: - Detected magnetic anomalies and surface targets. - Delivered precise data for Unexploded Scotland to conduct further analysis. - Produced comprehensive reports that detail our findings and methodologies. - Ensured a safe and smooth transition into the construction phase, all while staying on the intended operational schedule. We’re proud to share that we achieved zero HSE incidents throughout the project, demonstrating our commitment to safety while maintaining a cost-effective approach to the surveys. The integration of photogrammetry, LiDAR, and magnetometer data provided a powerful toolkit for these large-scale UXO surveys. Each technology brought unique strengths, and together they offered a comprehensive view of both surface and subsurface anomalies. This approach significantly enhanced: - Accuracy: allowing us to discount irrelevant surface targets. - Efficiency: in quickly identifying true risks, especially near operational assets. - Safety: particularly in challenging environments. - Cost Effectiveness: allowing us to discount identifiable surface anomalies reducing the scope for the investigation campaign. In the example, the boundary fence wire is clearly identified using both photogrammetry and magnetometer results. Additionally, we have cross-correlated data showcasing a borehole location, demonstrating how integrated data can provide critical insights for safe project planning. A huge thanks to the dedicated team, UAV operators, Darren Horne & Unexploded Scotland for making this project a success. Looking forward to the next one. #UXO #Surveying #WindEnergy #LiDAR #UAV #Photogrammetry #Magnetometer #RenewableEnergy #DataIntegration #SafetyFirst #ProjectManagement

"Why LiDAR? with ERCS, because Seeing is Believing"   Are you tired of relying on outdated technologies and incurring delays for intertidal surveys? Say hello to our survey solutions, which is the future of accurate 3D mapping and surveying.   LiDAR technology provides unparalleled accuracy in measuring the distance to objects, making it the perfect solution for surveying land and water. By combining high-resolution aerial LiDAR and subsea MBES data, our solutions can create cm accurate and highly detailed representations of the environment like never before.   But don't just take our word for it - see for yourself! Check out these stunning results acquired using these technologies. Feast your eyes on a crystal-clear LiDAR DTM, followed by an underwater bathymetry DTM, and finally, a combination of the two for a comprehensive coverage map of the site.   Why ERCS International? Because seeing is believing. Embrace the future of intertidal surveying with our innovative solutions.   Let's take your surveys to the next level - contact us today to learn more. #LIDAR #DroneTechnology #Surveying #AerialMapping #MarineMapping #UnderwaterInspections #SeeingIsBelieving #InnovativeTechnology #EyeCatching

Pleased to support a new client who wanted to explore UAV LiDAR technology to support their existing and future projects, with the aim of producing high resolution data sets, a reduction of time on site and HSE exposure and also giving some added value to their end clients. The final products were then compared against traditional methodologies with excellent results. #UAV #LiDAR #UAVSurvey #UAVMapping

Another successful project supporting our partner #JBUAS on a UXO detection project in a challenging environment and difficult terrain. All priority and additional areas completed ahead of the allocated timeframe. A total of 9:37hrs completed over 3 days and very satisfied client. Safely covering areas that traditional methods failed to achieve. Please get in touch for any turnkey UAV mapping & UXO solutions. #UXO #UAV #UAVMapping #Survey #JBUAS
