Topographical Mapping; The Traditional or Drone Method Here's a quick comparison: TRADITIONAL MAPPING Pros: Highly accurate, captures detailed measurements and features on the ground. Cons: Time-consuming, labor-intensive, can be dangerous in difficult terrain. DRONE MAPPING Pros: Fast, cost-effective, safe for capturing data in hazardous areas, provides a wider aerial view. Cons: May require ground-truthing for accuracy, less detailed than traditional methods. In many cases, the best approach is to combine these two methods for a comprehensive and accurate survey.

Aerial surveying by drone in plain areas without topography is one of the least risky and most reliable methods for large-scale magnetometery studies. This method is possible without any restrictions throughout the day and night. #geometrics #MagArrow

Roof surveying with a drone

One of the good that comes out from the drone mapping trainings is that I get to meet and share knowledge with professionals from different industries. And they've given me insights into where the need for drones is in their industry. Engineers, Valuers, GIS Officers, Foresters, Agriculturists, Geologists, Environment consultants, etc. For the current training here in Port Moresby, I am privileged to be sharing knowledge with surveyors and to have open discussions with them on where drone mapping meets surveying. Looking forward to the last 2 days 🙏 #dronetraining #dronemapping101 #dronebasics #dronesurveying #surveying #knowledgesharing

Maximizing Efficiency on Construction Sites with Drone Mapping. ———> In the fast-paced world of construction, time is money. That’s why accurate and efficient site mapping is crucial for staying ahead of schedule and within budget. Our drone mapping solutions offer high-resolution aerial imagery and detailed topographic maps that enable construction managers to: ✔️ Make faster, data-driven decisions ✔️ Identify potential issues before they become costly mistakes ✔️ Save time on manual surveying and data collection ✔️ Enhance safety by keeping workers on the ground With our advanced drone technology, you can reduce downtime and maximize productivity from start to finish. Ready to elevate your construction site? Let's talk! #ConstructionTechnology #DroneMapping #EfficiencyInConstruction #AerialSurveying #DroneTech #SiteManagement #Topography

Safeguarding Heritage with Drone Inspections Historic buildings, monuments, and landmarks require regular inspection to preserve their integrity—but traditional methods of inspection can be hazardous to both workers and the structures themselves. With drone technology, heritage sites can now undergo thorough inspections without the need for scaffolding or ladders, reducing risk while ensuring the longevity of cultural treasures. Advantages: Non-invasive inspections that protect the structure Minimized worker risk during height inspections Detailed aerial imagery for accurate assessments #HeritagePreservation #DroneInnovation #CulturalHeritage #Safety #Sustainability

Drone Survey

Using Trimble Stratus powered by Propeller, Plateau uses drone survey technology to obtain more accurate topographical maps of our worksites. Our survey teams fly our worksites every two weeks to ensure we have the most up-to-date data on the material being moved. “We like to monitor how the dirt is moving on site and make sure we can set the building pad elevation as accurately as possible to help us balance that site,” Paul Shepard, Plateau’s UAS Specialist explained. “Once the pad turnover date comes, we typically slow down to maybe a flight once a month or so, just to see how things are progressing. The drone workflow is so much easier than a ground topo, and our team likes to regularly review that updated orthophoto, even if we don’t pull any data from it. Even if you don’t think you need it today, it can prove helpful down the road.” #alwaysmovingforward #plateauexcavation #georgia #southeast #infrastructure #construction #heavyequipment #excavator #dirtwork #dirtworld #operators #heavyequipmentlife #sitedevelopment #earthmoving #earthmovers #innovationconstruction #solarenergy #datacenters #sitedevelopment #oem #missioncritical #movingdirt #heavycivilindustry #heavycivilconstruction

Aerial Surveys | Getting a bird's eye view without the scaffold. The past few weeks have seen me carry out multiple drone surveys on buildings around the North of Scotland before nesting season. Seagull's nesting season in the UK can vary depending on the species of seagull and the location, but generally, it occurs from late April to August. During this time, seagulls build their nests, lay their eggs, and raise their young, which can make them more territorial and protective of their nesting sites. It is important to be aware of seagull nesting season when conducting any type of work in areas where seagulls are present, including drone roof inspections, to avoid disturbing the birds and their young. In some cases, it may be necessary to delay the work until the nesting season is over to avoid potential harm to the birds or legal consequences for disturbing nesting sites.
