Professional aerial data, inspection, and monitoring services across the North East and UK.
We support construction, infrastructure, energy, and commercial projects with accurate data capture, structured reporting, and safety-led operations.
Focused on clarity, compliance, and reliable outcomes.
Professional aerial data capture and reporting services for construction, infrastructure, energy, and land management projects. Delivering accurate, structured data with professional analysis and documentation — suitable for technical review, compliance, and decision-making.
Our Aerial Data & Reporting service delivers structured aerial data capture with professional analysis and documentation suitable for technical review, compliance, and operational decision-making. Unlike basic drone photography services, we provide complete data processing workflows — from flight planning and ground control through to georeferenced outputs, accuracy verification, and professional reporting.
Operations are led by Peter Regan — an Onshore & Offshore HSE Advisor with NEBOSH qualifications, construction site management experience, and offshore certifications. This means operations are planned around real-world safety protocols, not improvised on the day.
Every deployment planned and led by qualified HSE professionals who understand RAMS, permit-to-work, and site coordination.
Structured reports with methodology statements, accuracy verification, and data suitable for technical review — not folders of unmarked images.
Ground control workflows with RMSE reporting, accuracy verification, and documented methodology — suitable for engineering applications.
Data delivered in formats that integrate with your existing workflows — CAD, GIS, photogrammetry, BIM, and asset management systems.
Professional aerial data services across multiple sectors, delivering actionable insights and documentation for decision-making, compliance, and operational efficiency.
| Parameter | Specification | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Ground Resolution (GSD) | 2mm – 50mm per pixel | Adjustable based on altitude and requirements |
| Vertical Accuracy | 2–5cm (with GCPs) 5–15cm (RTK/PPK) | Suitable for engineering design, volume calculations |
| Horizontal Accuracy | 2–5cm (with GCPs) 5–15cm (RTK/PPK) | Suitable for mapping, boundary surveys, setting out |
| Coverage Area | 0.1 hectares – 100+ hectares | Single-deployment or multi-day campaigns |
| Point Cloud Density | 50–500+ points per m² | Adjustable based on output requirements |
| Image Overlap | 75–85% forward, 65–75% side | Ensures reliable 3D reconstruction and accuracy |
| Flight Altitude | 10m – 120m AGL | Adjustable based on site constraints and resolution |
All data is processed using industry-standard photogrammetry software (Agisoft Metashape Professional) with documented methodology and quality control procedures. Every project includes RMSE calculation, reprojection error analysis, visual inspection, and format validation.
Horizontal: 2–5cm RMSE
Vertical: 2–5cm RMSE
Horizontal: 5–15cm
Vertical: 5–15cm
Horizontal: Variable
Vertical: Variable
For engineering-grade accuracy, we establish ground control networks using surveyed reference points. GCP coordinates are captured using RTK GNSS equipment or provided by client surveyors.
All outputs are tailored to your workflow requirements. Standard deliverables include multi-format data exports, processing reports, accuracy statements, and methodology documentation.

We understand permit-to-work systems, SIMOPS, and site coordination requirements. Every deployment includes pre-deployment coordination with site management, integration with your safety management system, permit applications, exclusion zone coordination, real-time communication with site teams, and post-deployment reporting.
Every deployment includes site-specific Risk Assessment and Method Statements (RAMS) aligned with your safety management system. We prepare Operational Safety Cases (OSC), emergency procedures, and coordinate with site teams before, during, and after operations.
Whether it's construction progress monitoring, topographic surveying, asset documentation, or compliance reporting — we'll advise on the safest, most effective approach for your operational environment.
