Geodetic and Topographic Surveying with Drones
Our company provides advanced solutions for precise geodetic and topographic surveying using industrial drones. By combining photogrammetry, LiDAR, RTK/PPK GNSS, and intelligent analytical platforms, we deliver reliable information about terrains, objects, and infrastructure. The collected data is applicable in construction, infrastructure, urban planning, ecology, agriculture, and industry.
What is the service?
Geodetic and topographic surveying with drones is the process of collecting spatial data through aerial missions. Drones capture thousands of images and/or laser reflections, which are then processed in specialized software to enable:
● creation of orthophoto maps with georeferenced images;
● development of digital surface and terrain models (DSM/DTM);
● generation of 3D reconstructions and point clouds;
● execution of precise measurements of distances, heights, areas, and volumes;
● monitoring of dynamic changes over time and comparison with archival data.
Technological solutions and advantages
● High-resolution photogrammetric drones – deliver detailed images for mapping and object analysis;
● LiDAR systems – penetrate vegetation and capture rugged terrain with high accuracy;
● RTK/PPK GNSS technologies – ensure centimeter-level geodetic precision in large-scale projects;
● Multispectral and thermal cameras – provide data on vegetation, moisture, and material characteristics;
● Intelligent software – integrates with CAD, GIS, and BIM platforms for full compatibility with engineering and architectural projects.
What can we capture and analyze?
✔ Construction and Infrastructure
● planning and designing routes for roads, railways, and engineering structures;
● volume calculations for excavations, embankments, and construction materials;
● monitoring construction progress through regular surveys;
● documenting changes and conditions for supervisory institutions.
✔ Urban Planning, Cadastre, and Architecture
● preparation and updating of cadastral maps and property boundaries;
● analysis of building density and access to green spaces;
● delineation of plots and land parcels with geodetic precision;
● surveying of facades and roofs for restoration, insulation, and architectural projects.
✔ Ecology and Forestry
● monitoring erosion, landslides, and natural processes;
● analysis of water resources, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs;
● observation of biodiversity and vegetation cover;
● damage assessment after natural disasters (fires, floods, storms).
✔ Agriculture
● topographic maps of agricultural land and terrain analysis;
● evaluation of slope, drainage, and soil structure;
● planning of irrigation systems and resource optimization;
● integration of multispectral data for productivity assessment.
✔ Industry and Mining
● measuring areas and volumes in quarries, mines, and storage facilities;
● high-precision calculations of excavations and embankments;
● monitoring of industrial complexes and related infrastructure;
● safe access to hazardous or restricted areas without human presence.
Benefits for the client
● Speed and timeliness – large areas surveyed within hours, with data available almost in real time;
● Precision – centimeter-level accuracy suitable for engineering, design, and legal purposes;
● Cost-effectiveness – reduced expenses compared to traditional geodetic methods;
● Safety – eliminates the need for human presence in hazardous or hard-to-reach terrains;
● Visualization and analysis – results presented through orthophotos, 3D models, point clouds, and interactive platforms;
● Sustainability – minimal impact on the natural environment and the ability to track changes over time.
Geodetic and topographic surveying with drones is a modern tool for measurement, analysis, and planning, combining the accuracy of classical geodesy with the advantages of new technologies. It enables architects, engineers, municipalities, investors, and farmers to have access to up-to-date and reliable information necessary for informed decision-making, resource optimization, and successful project implementation.
