Linear facility surveying

Linear facility surveying is essential in modern infrastructure planning and execution. From pipelines to pipe networks, from railways to roads, precise knowledge of the geophysical and spatial data of a given area is indispensable. In this process, experts evaluate terrain conditions, soil properties, distribution of water sources, vegetation conditions, and more. Drone surveys offer numerous advantages over conventional techniques: they are excellent for examining hard-to-reach or hazardous areas, reducing human risk.

Drones' rapid data collection ability and the potential for producing high-quality images accelerate projects and related decisions. The diversity of payloads allows for complex surveys in a single flight. For example, multispectral cameras can check the condition of vegetation or soil moisture content, while thermal cameras can monitor heat loss or the condition of electrical lines. LIDAR sensors allow for high-precision 3D mapping, even in areas covered with dense vegetation.

By integrating sensor technologies, route surveys provide a much more precise and holistic picture than before. Thanks to the technological advancement of drones, the planning and execution of infrastructural projects become more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious.
