Aerial Survey Services: Comprehensive Drone Solutions for Every Sector
Accurate, Safe, and Scalable Aerial Surveys Using UAV Technology
At DJM Aerial Solutions, we deliver high-accuracy aerial survey services for clients across construction, infrastructure, energy, environmental, and industrial sectors. Whether you need site topography, asset modelling, condition assessment, or volumetric calculations, our UAV-based aerial surveys provide rapid data capture, safe operations, and precision outputs tailored to your needs.
By combining RTK drones, LiDAR, RGB imagery, and thermal sensors, we produce deliverables suitable for use in planning, design, engineering, monitoring, and compliance—while removing the need for manned entry, working at height, or traditional ground survey methods.
What Is an Aerial Survey?
An aerial survey involves capturing visual or spatial data from above using drones equipped with high-resolution sensors. Unlike satellite data or piloted aircraft surveys, UAV-based aerial surveys provide high-frequency, site-specific data that can be captured safely, repeatedly, and cost-effectively.
Our surveys are customisable based on:
Area size
Level of detail required
Application (e.g., volume measurement, terrain modelling, structural condition)
Industry or sector
Regulatory requirements
What Can Aerial Surveys Be Used For?
We carry out aerial surveys across a wide variety of use cases:
Construction and Infrastructure
Pre-construction site topography
Progress tracking and cut-and-fill analysis
Stockpile volume measurements
Drainage modelling and line & level surveys
Ongoing site monitoring for development tracking
Industrial and Energy Sectors
Flare stack and rooftop inspection
Asset condition monitoring and defect targeting
ACC and process equipment thermography
Integration with internal UAV inspection for full asset coverage
Environmental and Land Management
Flood risk modelling
Riverbank and watercourse mapping
Vegetation monitoring and land change analysis
Habitat assessment or ecological survey support
Utilities and Civils
Pipeline corridor planning
Overhead line route mapping
Bridge and road surface assessments
Railway infrastructure survey
Our Aerial Survey Technology
We use a range of platforms to suit each aerial survey’s needs, including:
Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK – For quick, repeatable surveys with centimetre-level accuracy
Phantom 4 RTK – Ideal for topographic mapping and orthomosaic generation
Matrice 300 RTK – Suited for complex sites requiring zoom, thermal, or LiDAR integration
DJI L1 & P1 payloads – For high-end LiDAR and photogrammetry survey capture
Elios 3 (confined space) – Used for internal surveys that integrate with external models
Data outputs can include:
Orthophotos and georeferenced imagery
Point clouds (photogrammetry or LiDAR-based)
Digital surface models (DSM) and terrain models (DTM)
3D mesh models
Thermal overlays and visual defect reports
Why Choose Drone-Based Aerial Surveys?
Traditional surveys often involve:
Access issues
Long setup and capture time
Health and safety concerns
Infrequent data collection windows
By contrast, aerial drone surveys offer:
Fast and repeatable capture
No need for ground crews in dangerous or inaccessible locations
Highly accurate, high-volume data
Reduced cost and downtime
Integration with CAD, GIS, and BIM systems
Our surveys are completed faster, safer, and with greater accuracy than traditional methods—allowing clients to make better-informed decisions, faster.
