Nothing Beats Aerial Survey in Large Scale Commercial Projects

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become increasingly popular in surveying today. Courtesy of massive innovations in drone technology, land surveyors have begun relying on UAVs to carry out a multitude of surveying tasks.

Large-scale commercial projects have lapped up aerial survey services, given the accuracy, flexibility, and relative quickness of the method.

Here are 5 ways a commercial project benefits from aerial surveying.

#1 Accuracy

The drones used by Carroll Surveying and Mapping's aerial survey services have cameras sophisticated enough to capture images and videos up to 5.2 K in resolution. The superior pixel density, in turn, makes sure that the accuracy of the survey is unmatched.

The advancements in stabilization techniques have given us drones that are capable of shooting in ultra-high definition in even the harshest and unfavorable weather conditions.

#2 Safety

Aerial surveying is ideal for collecting visual data in challenging terrain and compromised environments with minimal risk to the safety of the surveyors. The drones are equipped well enough to capture all relevant information from the air. Being unmanned also negates the planning that would've gone into health and safety considerations. Accuracy married to safety makes aerial survey services an attractive prospect for the perpetrators of any large-scale commercial project.

#3 Easy Access

In a similar vein, aerial surveys also make it thrice as easy for land surveyors to reach the difficult nooks and crannies. A drone with a strategically planned flight path, in the hand of a skilled operator, can scale towers, turbines, tall roofs, and masts with ease. The drone's optics (often as advanced as offering 30x zoom) can be used to employ remote access to a site and with excellent results too.

#4 Speed

Thanks to the commendable flexibility of aerial surveying, rather large expanses of land can be covered in a comparably short window of time. Remember when we talked about pre-planning flight paths in the previous point? Guess what, they do more than just provide accessibility. Pre-planned flight paths also ensure that the projects are completed fast enough. The reduction in time taken in planning, data processing, and the end product delivery is crucial for time-sensitive projects.

#5 Reduced Costs

Aerial survey services also come with low overhead costs and overall expenses when compared to traditional, terrestrial surveying. Perspectives of data that would have never been possible without spending tens of thousands of dollars are now within the grasp of surveying professionals. Drones have offered increasingly accurate output and less resource-intensive inputs, a conception that is hardly ignorable.
