DRONE SERVICES

We offer a variety of drone services from basic imagery capture to layered terrain models.

HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGERY

Drone imagery enables a crystal clear ‘birds eye view’ for detailed site analysis, project tracking or real estate media.

SATELLITE

DRONE

View up to date imagery of your site to replace fuzzy satellite imagery. We’ll provide Google Earth Pro friendly files for easy viewing.

TOPOGRAPHIC DATA CAPTURE

A combination of advanced drone hardware & software allows us to extract high resolution elevation data from georeferenced imagery.

MAPPING PACKAGES

Our drone pilots are certified by Transport Canada

BASIC

$270+

(site & project dependant)

Great for visual inspections, project tracking, event maps & real estate where relative accuracy is all that’s needed.

OUTPUTS:

  • Orthomosaic Image: High-resolution map with 2.5 cm/px GSD or under. (.geoTIFF)

  • Photos & Videos: (.jpeg .mp4)

STANDARD

$540+

(site & project dependant)

We utilize an RTK/PPK workflow to collect highly accurate geographic positional data. This is necessary for creating site plans, measuring stockpiles, building 3D models & integrating existing geo-referenced survey data.

OUTPUTS:

  • Orthomosaic Image: High-resolution map with 2.5 cm/px GSD or greater. (.geoTIFF)

  • Elevation Contours: At 1ft, 2ft & 3ft intervals (.kmz .shp)

    NOTE: Interpolation will be necessary in areas with > 60% forest cover to create bare earth DEM’s. Accuracy of elevation contours may vary in forested areas.

  • Digital Terrain Model, DTM (.geoTIFF)

  • Digital Surface Model, DSM (.geoTIFF)

OPTIONAL ADD-ONS:

  • Optimized Elevation Contours with reduced noise & artifacts (.kmz .shp)

  • 3D Model (.obj)

  • Point Cloud (.laz .las)

  • Photos & Videos: (.jpeg .mp4)

PRECISION

$810+

(site & project dependant)

Multiple ground control points (GCP’S) are placed on site for projects requiring the highest level of positional accuracy.

OUTPUTS:

  • Same as STANDARD with higher positional accuracy.
