Urban Planning
Drone data is limitless when it comes to drone-derived digital terrain and surface models. Municipalities can use the data to simulate flooding or redefine boundaries for land. These virtual models can help developers better plan urban areas. Reducing noise around busy roadways is another helpful application useful for urban planning.
Archaeology Projects
Archaeological discoveries are now possible with drone surveys. The drones can provide 3D digital surface models and high-resolution maps to help archaeologists find and discover artifacts and map out sites. Instead of mapping out the area on foot, archaeologists can look at a larger area in a more cost-effective and efficient map.
Construction Surveyors
Typically, a construction survey is time-consuming with frequent job site visits to exactly survey the area. Drones reduce the number of visits and help surveyors create as-built and pre-surveys. Not having to physically access job sites can increase the safety of the surveyor as well.
Land Surveying
Topographical maps using drones are more accepted by land departments for cadastre. The orthophotos show single object layers and can help land departments update or create a land cover. These are great for departments looking to add land developments.
Quarry Production
The risks associated with surveying quarries and mines can be reduced by implementing drone surveys from Chris Nelson & Associates. Not to mention that the productivity in the pit or quarry can be greatly increased by the survey. The drone data can show areas for the team to better plan and improve the management of available inventory.
With all the applications for a Malibu drone survey, their use is only expected to increase. In fact, survey companies can move into new markets and offer additional services to more industries than ever before.
