Data on Demand

Alexander Symonds can create up-to-date high resolution geo-referenced aerial images of your site. From the high level of information obtained from the aerial photography, Alexander Symonds utilises the latest software to extract high quality products to suit your application, ranging from 3D point clouds, 3D models and textured meshes, orthomosaics, terrain models, contour plans and volumetric details.

Along with Alexander Symonds Offsite 360 application, cloud based web application viewers and stockpile management GIS web application, our RPAS operations are set up to provide an end-to- end service that allows our clients to easily interact with highly informative data sets anywhere, anytime online.

Our Team are Qualified Surveyors and CASA Accredited Pilots

As all work is undertaken by surveyors, you can be assured that the information is accurate and validated. We have 10 qualified surveyors that hold CASA accredited remote pilot qualifications. Operating under a chief pilot and a CASA certified remote operators’ certificate (ReOC), Alexander Symonds ensures safe operations can be conducted whilst achieving your goals.

RPAS drone surveying

Fast Turnaround Time with Safe Access

Drone mapping is a fast, safe and accurate way to gather data. Using RPAS we can access areas at much lower altitudes than satellite and aerial mapping, making the collection of high resolution images a much faster process. This technology allows us to gather data in areas that are difficult or unsafe to access, without putting your team or ours at risk. This non-intrusive method can be completed within a single day, accelerating your project’s timeline.

Expertise Across Any Sector

Applications for remotely piloted aircraft in surveying stretch across a variety of industries including; mining, engineering, architectural, environmental, land development, renewable energy and more. Alexander Symonds has the qualifications and expertise to service your project across any sector. Our team of surveyors can validate survey accuracies, compile progress reports and spatially visualise your project in real-time using RPAS units.

Architectural

Increase the accuracy and efficiency of your architectural project planning with our UAV survey services. Gather accurate real-time data for visual assessments and surface measurements using drone technology. Safe and accessible site surveying for urban and built up areas.

Environmental

Survey hard to access or large expanses of land using our aerial mapping services. Our drone technology simplifies environmental monitoring, vegetation assessment and coastal management.

Mining and Resources

Quickly and easily compile accurate and comprehensive data with a single flight. Using our 3D mapping software, we can obtain volumetric measurements to calculate stocks for inventory and monitoring purposes. Suitable for mine planning and open pit surveys and inspections.

Land Development

Use aerial mapping for all stages of land development from concept and subdivision planning through to construction assessment and photography. Highlight boundaries, air-flight paths, line-of- sight visualisations, and geographical notions used in planning and pre-construction studies.
