Drone-based topographical surveys across the UK. Centimetre-grade ground capture, contour mapping and volumetric analysis. Photogrammetry for open ground, LiDAR for vegetated or complex sites, both processed and hosted on AIM Platform.
A two-person topographical survey crew walking a 5-hectare site is a day on the ground. The same site captured by drone is a 25-minute flight. The processed deliverable lands on AIM Hosting the same week, accurate to the centimetre.
Where drone topography really pays back is on sites with access constraints, hazardous ground, dense vegetation, or live operations. Energy infrastructure, quarries, landfill, golf courses, construction sites, contaminated land, all places traditional surveying is slow, expensive, or simply unsafe.
Photogrammetric topography is the right choice for open, low-vegetation sites: car parks, fields, quarries, construction sites at clearance phase. Output is dense, accurate, and lower cost per hectare than LiDAR.
LiDAR topography is the right choice when ground penetration matters: woodland, scrub, dense undergrowth, or where you need to extract bare-earth contours under foliage. Our LiDAR capture maintains accuracy under canopy where photogrammetry can't see the ground.

Every topographical survey we deliver lives on AIM Hosting. Drawings, DTMs, orthomosaics and point clouds are all measurable in place through a single browser link. Re-survey six months later and the comparison is one click, not a desktop pipeline.
