Register your interest for a “Terrainoscopy” diagnostic to determine if this breakthrough Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) surveying technology can be used to save you time, money, and hassle on your current or upcoming project(s)
WHY YOU SHOULD TALK TO US
During your diagnostic consultation, we will quickly determine if our qualified engineers, using the latest aviation technology, can be leveraged to save you money, capture the data, photos and videos you require at a beneficial cost to existing traditional methods.
If you’re looking to inspect large buildings, structures, and geographically expansive locations, we probably can carry out safer and more cost-effective data capture.
It’s not because we’re a team of registered surveyors and civil and structural engineers with over 40+ years of experience. It’s because of the cutting edge technology we possess to provide you with the latest and greatest solutions.
The only real question is:
Is your project compatible to leverage a fully digital data Terrainoscopy?
Not sure? Here’s a quick snapshot of what we can offer you:

ARE YOU CURRENTLY PAYING AN ARM AND A LEG
FOR STRUCTURE AND BUILDING INSPECTIONS?
As you well know, traditional data capture methods are costly and time-consuming. Moreover, it gets worse when you need to perform regular checks.
Your options?
You can hire a specialised photogrammetric aircraft. Aerial photogrammetry can be costly, and most airplanes cannot fly low enough to collect the accurate data points that we are capable of capturing for a fraction of the cost.
You can also hire a bunch of engineers, shut down the site for–depending on the scope of project–a week, or longer, and then wait until the data gets collected.
Alternatively, you could hire a hobby drone operator, maybe the teenager next door. However, that’s like asking your next-door neighbour with a toolbox to build your house.
What makes us different is that, first and foremost, we’re registered and qualified civil and structural engineers. Since we have been around for over forty years, we know what it’s like having to capture lots of data points across a challenging landscape or structure.
Now with the advent of new technology, it means we can do our job faster, giving you the confidence knowing that only qualified and experienced engineers are behind the wheel, so-to-speak.
By acquiring geo-referenced digital aerial images, with resolutions up to 1.5 cm (0.6 in) per pixel, we can gather millions of data points in a single flight while we also capture video at the same time!

Because we use precise GPS technology that can be scheduled to fly over specific flight paths, we can capture the imagery or footage you need for your progress reports. We traverse the same flight path again and again as often as you like creating time-lapse photo/videography so you can see how a piece of land or structure is developing or has developed over time.
We also provide images with GPS details making site inspections easier and more precise.
For contour mapping, we use control points set by RTK GPS, for super accurate data capture. For example, for a one 4ha parcel of land, we can easily get the accuracy of a horizontal, approximately circular error at 0.028m (95% CI) and vertical accuracy at 0.039m (95% CI).
Should you require your data to be even more accurate, we can do that by simply increasing the number of ground control points. This is something we can discuss during your initial diagnostic assessment.

Aerial time-lapse reporting for engineering and structural purposes
Get project progress reports on large infrastructure projects. We will custom design a geo-referenced flight path ideally before the commencement of construction, or during the construction process, so you can easily monitor and assess the development of your project with specific, pre-defined areas of interest that will be tracked with precision (from any height, angle, or orientation).
Surveying and mapping services
Aerial Inspections
We can perform infrastructure safety inspections to help you stay on track with your project. Our technology is equipped with HD cameras and transmitters to allow for real-time analysis of data. Our services also cover industrial inspections, aerial photography, agricultural assessments and research, 3D terrain mapping, and a host of other uses.
Farming Industry
If you’re a farmer, then our UAV services can show you if your irrigation systems are working and even how your plants are growing. Farms are often pretty big, so the mobility and agility of our aerial data capture technology will save you precious time and money. Also, with our surveying knowledge and experience, we can provide you with a complete usage map from the farm for later analyses, such as the proportion of products, and overview of various outcomes.
