Transform your civil engineering projects with our LiDAR-powered volumetric analysis. Our precision drone surveys deliver exact volume and area measurements for stockpiles, roadworks, and development sites across New Zealand. Whether you’re managing quarry resources, planning road maintenance, or overseeing earthworks, our technology helps you optimize resources, reduce costs, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.
Construction Monitoring
Keep your construction projects on track with our comprehensive monitoring services. Our drones capture detailed progress data, creating accurate 3D models that allow project managers and quantity surveyors to verify compliance, track milestones, and compare as-built conditions against design specifications. With regular aerial surveys, you’ll gain valuable insights for decision-making, documentation for stakeholders, and the ability to address issues before they impact your timeline or budget.
Thermography Services
Reveal invisible issues with our specialized thermography services. Using state-of-the-art drone-mounted thermal payloads and professional FLIR handheld cameras, we detect heat leaks, electrical faults, and insulation deficiencies that conventional inspections miss.
