Drone assisted surveying can save you time and money.
New surveying technologies mean new ways to get accurate surveys and volumes while saving time and money. UAV is an acronym for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, aka drone. Bennett Land Surveying can equip our UAV with different sensors/survey measurement tools to serve your needs. Theses sensors can be a camera, a Lidar module, or many other things.
Our UAV can also use a camera to take pictures and we will process the data using Photogrammetry. Photogrammetry is the science of taking measurements from photos. These techniques have been used since cameras were invented and are well refined.
Generally in the past photogrammetry was only for large scale projects due to the cost. Advances in UAV technology, cameras and computer software allow Bennett to bring photogrammetry to smaller projects at a reasonable cost.
Benefits of UAV Drone Surveying
There are three primary benefits to using UAV Drone surveying over conventional surveying in British Columbia: Safety, Efficiency and Cost.
Safety – remotely measure areas that are rugged, hazardous or hard to reach with little to no risk to professional surveyors.
Efficiency – capture data and receive deliverables with more detail more quickly than with conventional terrestrial methods.
Reduced Costs – capturing large areas in less time translates to cost savings for our clients.

Volumetric Measurements Using UAV Drone Surveying
Landfills, gravel pits and any other open pit mines need volumetric surveys done on a regular basis. This is where UAVs shine.

In addition to calculating volumes we also provide an up-to-date image of the site.
