Drone Surveying Experts | Safe UAV Survey, SfM & Drone Survey

Greenhatch have utilising the benefits of UAV technology for a number of years and we employ fully trained, in-house CAA approved pilots who utilise our current portfolio of equipment (Mikrokopter Okto XL & DJI Phantom 4 Pro) to provide a multitude of image based services within our group.

Greenhatch have also increasingly been using SfM (Structure from Motion) technology for providing scaled elevation orthoimages for architects and conservation bodies.

We are also well equipped to provide more traditional rectified photography for suitable subjects including photographic surveys, 360° panoramas and virtual tours.

SfM (Structure-from-Motion) photogrammetry can be a powerful survey tool in the right hands and the Greenhatch Group has extensive experience of using this technique for commercial projects. When carefully controlled with traditional survey methodologies, SfM photogrammetry can provide dense point clouds, mesh models and high-quality photorealistic renders with high degrees of accuracy and precision. The scalability of SfM means the technique can be applied to single objects for sub-mm precision or whole landscapes when used with UAV.

Greenhatch use SfM increasingly for providing scaled elevation orthoimages for architects and conservation bodies. However, we are also well equipped to provide more traditional rectified photography for suitable subjects including photographic surveys, 360° panoramas and virtual tours.

We utilise some of the latest UAV technology, with our Okto XL 6S12 featuring a number of redundant systems that help to ensure safe and reliable flight in all situations. With the ability to carry a payload of up to 3kg, we are able to fly a variety of different cameras and sensors giving us flexibility to provide the best possible product to our clients.

With the ability to cover large areas quickly, the use of a UAV can drastically reduce the time required on site and the need for expensive safety equipment for those difficult to access areas. With our survey background and expertise, we utilise the latest terrestrial survey equipment to ensure that all of our products are to a level of accuracy expected by our clients.
