Case Studies
Redbridge Logistics Hub - Volumetric Stockpile Analysis
Challenge: The client needed accurate, regular measurements of aggregate stockpiles across a 50-acre site to manage inventory and reduce write-offs.
Solution: We conducted monthly drone flights with RTK positioning, processed data into point clouds, and provided volumetric calculations with <3% error margin.
Result: The client reduced inventory discrepancies by 22% and saved £50,000 in the first 6 months through better material management.
EcoPark Wind Farm - Environmental Impact Mapping
Challenge: Environmental consultants require a detailed survey of a 100-hectare site for habitat assessment and turbine placement, with minimal disturbance to local wildlife.
Solution: Our drones captured multi-spectral and thermal data, generating habitat maps, identifying bat roosts, and producing elevation models.
Result: The survey supported a successful planning application and compliance with biodiversity obligations.
Riverside Estates - Pre-Planning Survey
Challenge: A developer needed accurate topographic data to inform drainage and foundation plans for a riverside housing estate prone to flooding.
Solution: We conducted a LiDAR-enabled drone survey, delivering a digital surface model (DSM), floodplain overlay, and 3D terrain model.
Result: The data helped the engineering team design a resilient drainage system, speeding up planning approval by 8 weeks.
We offer a wide range of consulting services, including aircraft selection, safety management, maintenance, and more.
