One drone survey—lots of different uses! 🚁
This project originally began with a simple question: how is water moving across this field and around the lake?
Using drone mapping, we created a detailed aerial map, elevation model, contour map and 3D model of the site.
The results are now being used for much more than drainage:
✅ Identifying slopes, low points and possible drainage routes
✅ Helping a landscaper design around the field’s existing levels
✅ Providing a 3D model for a designer to mock up a proposed amphitheatre at the top of the field
It’s a great example of how a site can be captured once, with the resulting data used by landowners, landscapers, drainage specialists, architects and engineers.
We’ve explained the project and the drone equipment used for this type of work in our latest article:
