Drone Mapping

We offer comprehensive drone mapping services using our enterprise grade DJI Matrice 350 RTK Drone alongside industry leading multi-spectral and liDAR sensors. This allows us to capture plant health data (NDVI) to create variable rate maps and Green on Brown weed maps. Our L1 LiDAR system allows us to create centimeter accurate digital surface model elevation maps for drainage design.
