drone Topographic Surveying

Inspired by industry colleagues, the Arcadis Arboricultural team has been experimenting with drone surveys as part of our BS 5837 data collection process. In collaboration with our in-house drone team we’ve been able to efficiently collect spatial data for modelling and site visualisation while ensuring safety for surveyors and other site users. As we’re often some of the first on a site, we’re finding that the additional visualisation capabilities that drone surveys provide are proving invaluable for the early stages of a project. One of the greatest revelations to me has been the ability to target important or interesting trees to provide detailed 3D visualisations like the one in the video. I think the results speak for themselves! We will be working on ways to incorporate this into our reporting so they can be easily provided to clients and end users. I can’t write a post on this topic without giving a nod to Callum Throw for all his great work in this area! If you’re interested in finding out more about what Arcadis Arboriculture team can provide please feel free to reach out!

𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: What does Wood Rodgers, Inc.. do for you by providing aerial mapping and land surveying services? We are a professional consulting firm, providing a wide range of surveying and mapping services. Company wide, our survey department alone has decades of experience accumulated between 50+ department staff members. Present your problem to us and we’ll walk you through what solutions and methodology we have, that best solves your problem. We can make lots of maps. But which is the best one for you? ❓ Need to know how much dirt was moved on a 50-acre site? ✔ We’ll survey that with a drone and aerial photogrammetry, providing you a surface map and cut/fill report. ❓ Need to know where utility features exist? ✔ A field crew will locate, identify, and measure those features and provide an as-built map. ❓ Do you know the constraints on your site, i.e. property lines, easements, or setbacks? ✔ We can provide a boundary survey and research title information to help you understand your property encumbrances. 📍 Basically, you need to know where something is and we can provide that answer with high accuracy, precision, and confidence. Time is money. Most people don’t have enough of either. We can all try to get more money. Time however, is finite. Let us have a discussion with you about how we can save you some time through our modern, efficient workflows. And through those same efficiencies, we can save you some money! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gwi8hegD Check out my sweet graphics! ⬇ #landsurveying #surveying #mapping #aerialmapping #lidar #photogrammetry

Land Surveying with drone

Modern technology can really have an impact in designing layouts, it’s going to be really interesting seeing the development of spatial data visualization and the use of AI over the next few years.

SPONSORED POST Good data in, good insights out. Bad data doesn’t just slow you down—it drains your budget, delays your project, and frustrates clients. Propeller’s cloud-based geospatial workspace empowered project teams to measure and manage their reality with survey-grade accuracy. With survey data, designs, and media in one place, the right data is always ready to go—empowering users to replace rework with great work, making great work the status quo. In a recent field test, Propeller tested their PPK workflow on a 40 hectare active civil construction site, using @DJI’s Mavic 3 Enterprise for photogrammetry and the Matrice 350 for lidar. The result? Centimeter-level accuracy, independently verified by a professional land surveyor.
