Aerial Inspections
Aerial inspections using UAV’s (Drones) is the safest, quickest and most cost effective way for the provision of comprehensive real-time information.
- We eliminate risks with working at heights and the need for scaffolding
- Information is delivered much faster than traditional surveying
- Detailed condition reports are provided to allow clients to plan maintenance for potential defects
- We work to bespoke specifications
- Fully compliant with our customer care procedures when liaising with those affected
- We inspect and survey structures, roofs, cladding, railways, solar farms, estates, wind turbines, power stations and more
Progress Reporting
We provide a progress reporting service which allows us to monitor actual progress against planned progress. This is undertaken at timescales requested by the client and is provided for distribution to stakeholders. The benefits of this type of service include:
- Comprehensive and detailed information provision
- Highlighting potential health and safety risks
- Instant communication of real-time information
- Cost-effective solutions
- Consistency of timescales
- Provision of marketing materials
Aerial Filming
Aerial filming and photography are the most effective forms for marketing and business development. Our aerial footage provides a unique perspective, allowing clients to communicate projects to others effectively.
Our experienced award-winning cinematographers deliver an unrivalled service by using the latest technologies. We film in 4K, photograph in high-definition, automatically track and follow objects, and produce timelapse imagery if requested.
We are dedicated to construction and housing and hold the relevant CAA licenses and requisite insurances, allowing us to fly legally and safely.
Topographical Maps
We undertake orthomosaic mapping, which is bespoke to the requirements of the client. This is achieved by condensing several hundred images together to generate a geometrically corrected, yet detailed map.
Images are provided in an aerial format and through elevation, metric and seasonal information. Produced in either long-distance or macro detail, these maps can be extremely beneficial for planning purposes and progress reporting. Sectors which benefit from this approach include:
- Real estate (individual property and entire estates)
- Agriculture (identify crop health)
- Highways and railways
- Infrastructure
- Energy
3D Modelling
Using the latest photogrammetry technology, we produce detailed three-dimensional representations of actual environments. They are created by combining hundreds of images using Point Clouds and 3D Textured Meshes, enabling them to appear real. The level of detail is determined by the GSD (Ground Sampling Distance). This is the number of pixels measured in relation to the ground; down to 1.4cm per pixel. The benefits include:
- Information for feasibility studies, virtual inspections and option appraisals
- Provision of virtual information, which can be shared remotely
- A facility for distance and area calculations
- Ability to rotate, zoom and deliver fly-through films
Thermal Imaging
Using specialist thermal sensors combined with FLIR software (the world’s leading thermal sensor producer), we are able to detect costly heat loss issues not visible to the naked eye in a timely manner. Operations include:
- Provision of Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s)
- Roof inspections and standing water
- Solar panel deficiencies
- Detecting moisture
- Identifying micro-cracks, and more
Following every thermal inspection, we provide a comprehensive condition report highlighting specific areas where action needs to be taken. This ultimately saves our clients time and money enabling them to make informed decisions.
