survey technology is soaring to new heights with the addition of unmanned aerial vehicles (uav) or drones, as more commonly known. when fitted with gps technology and a high-resolution camera, these drones are often called unmanned aerial systems (uas). these remotely flown aircraft, equipped with a full package of software and hardware, offer a new approach to construction progress, observation, and monitoring, including photos, videos, and traffic studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

in the land survey field, drones add an entirely new dimension with their ability to provide aerial photogrammetry, 3d site modeling<\/a>, photo comparisons, and aerial video.<\/p>\n

“all of the service offerings we provide will benefit from this technology and the data a uav provides,” shares snyder & associates surveyor ted jansen. “we can swap different cameras, thermal imaging units, and other components to provide different project efficiencies for our clients.”<\/p>\n

determining which project types benefit from a drone survey<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

every survey project begins with a discussion of the overall project needs to determine how the survey fits into the big picture and what survey methods are applicable. site accessibility, constraints, and project limits are essential for selecting an appropriate aerial flight. here are some common questions that help determine if an aerial survey would be beneficial.<\/p>\n
