Our Aerial Land Surveying Services

Aerial surveying is a versatile type of land surveying tailored to meet the needs of our clients. State-of-the-art technology enables our experts to provide accurate, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for projects across several industries. Our land surveyors in Auckland can use drones to assist with:

Data Collection

Using drones equipped with advanced cameras, our aerial survey company can capture detailed aerial images of your site, collect precise elevation data for detailed 3D site models, and detect temperature variations to identify issues like heat loss or water leaks.

Site Analysis & Planning

Our aerial surveyors can create accurate topographic maps showing your site’s elevation, contours and slope gradients. We can also assess current use patterns to identify potential development opportunities, constraints, or environmental impacts of proposed projects.

Project Progress Monitoring

We can track the project of construction projects to identify potential issues or delays, measure the volume of materials for excavation projects, and monitor for changes in land cover, vegetation, or infrastructure to assess the effectiveness of conservation or restoration efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of aerial surveying compared to other surveying methods?

Aerial land surveying offers a range of advantages that make it a valuable tool for many applications. Compared to traditional ground-based methods, aerial surveying:

It is more efficient: It covers large areas quickly, saving time and resources.
It is safer: Allows for inspecting hazardous or inaccessible locations without putting personnel at risk.
Provides detailed data: High-resolution imagery is captured to create accurate 3D models, providing a comprehensive understanding of the site.
It is cost-effective: In many cases, aerial surveying can be more cost-effective than ground-based methods, especially for large or complex projects.
Offers faster results: Data collection and processing are typically faster with aerial surveying.

How accurate are aerial surveys?

The accuracy of aerial surveys depends on several factors, including sensor quality and ground control points. Advances in GPS, camera, and LiDAR technology have significantly improved accuracy in recent years, delivering much more accurate results.

In situations requiring further precision, aerial surveys can be combined with ground measurements, such as those from a smaller topographical survey, for maximum accuracy.

Are there any restrictions on aerial land surveying?

Aerial surveying has a few restrictions to consider, primarily with New Zealand’s drone and aviation regulations. It’s vital to adhere to height limits (120m max), visual line of sight requirements, and restrictions on flying near airports. Compliance with general aviation rules and potential permits is also sometimes required.

Our aerial surveyors must comply with local regulations and industry standards. Our experts must also consider weather conditions, respect privacy rights, adhere to accuracy standards, and obtain necessary permissions to access certain areas.
