Drone Services in Perth, Western Australia
Orthomosiac Mapping
Using advanced drone technology, we create highly detailed orthomosaic maps by stitching together multiple high-resolution aerial images into one accurate, geometrically corrected map. Unlike standard aerial photos, orthomosaic maps provide a true top-down view with consistent scale and precise measurements, making them ideal for surveying, planning, construction progress tracking, land development, agriculture, mining, and asset management applications.
General Inspections
We can use our drones to inspect and identify defects which are unable to be seen due to height restrictions or obscurity and then complete reinspection’s to identify changes between inspection dates.
3D Modelling
Using our 3D modelling drones we can do many things that traditional surveying can’t such as record all objects quickly and accurately by capturing data from the air. We then use our photogrammetry software which can switch the captured data into an accurate 3D model and information can easily be retrieved and viewed.
Solar Panel Inspections
We can use our drones to survey a construction site to determine where best to position solar panels for optimal performance and monitor a solar plant installation to ensure it stays up to code. Drones can also routinely inspect active solar sites to locate defects and prevent future maintenance issues.
Pipeline Inspections
Our pilots can fly pipelines allowing us to inspect topside at a rapid rate. We can also detect heat spots using thermal cameras which can in turn see emerging weaknesses in the structure. Automated flights mean the same flight can be duplicated time and time again.
Factory Roof Inspections
Our pilots can use drones to inspect roofs and check for damage taking away the need for manual inspections and avoiding the liability of people working at heights and potentially causing extra damage to the roofing structure. Insurance companies find this service advantageous as they can be assured that what is being insured is in good condition.
Greenhouse Whitewashing
Our drone spraying technology provides a safer, faster, and more efficient solution for greenhouse whitewashing applications. By applying specialised shading coatings evenly across greenhouse roofs, drones help reduce internal temperatures, minimise heat stress on crops, and improve growing conditions. This modern approach eliminates the need for workers to operate at heights or use traditional ground-based spraying methods, improving safety while delivering consistent and cost-effective coverage.
Contrast Mapping
Drone contrast mapping uses advanced aerial imaging technology to identify and highlight variations in vegetation health, soil moisture, terrain, and infrastructure conditions. Using multispectral or thermal sensors, we capture detailed data that can reveal issues not visible to the naked eye. This technology is ideal for agricultural analysis, environmental monitoring, infrastructure inspections, and land management, providing valuable insights for improved decision-making and operational efficiency.
Marine Inspections
Like all land-based projects there are certain areas on a ship that can’t be easily accessed but are required to be inspected. We can easily access these hard to reach areas with our drones and give a full photographic report on the condition of the ship.
Structural Inspections
Whether it’s a routine maintenance inspection or trying to investigate the safety of climbing a structure, drones are proven to be the only way to keep workers safe while accessing high structures for visual inspections. We can help you avoid the liability and costs involved with using your employees or contractors such as scaffolding and safety equipment, by easily completing these inspections with our drones.
Aerial Photographs
Drone and aerial photography services enables different perspectives and new aspects to be captured compared to photos taken from the ground. Our pilots can get closer or further away from an object to capture that perfect photo!
Worksite Inspections
Busy supervisors and site managers can use our drones to help them inspect worksites at intervals (weekly) which offers a birds-eye view of the changes and productivity. Alternatively, we can help with cut and fill levels and the amount of stock on site. Ideally, sites are flown from when they are quoted and then at various stages throughout the contract.
Elevation mapping (DEM)
Using drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and LiDAR technology, we capture detailed aerial data to produce accurate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), 3D terrain models, and contour maps. This data is processed using advanced geospatial software to provide precise elevation and landform information for surveying, construction planning, earthworks calculations, mining, environmental monitoring, and site analysis applications.
Farm Boundary Files
Using advanced drone mapping technology, we create accurate digital farm boundary files for precision agriculture applications. By flying pre-programmed aerial missions, we capture high-resolution imagery that is processed into detailed orthomosaic maps. From these maps, precise paddock and property boundaries can be traced and exported into formats such as KML and SHP files for use in farm management software, guidance systems, and precision farming equipment.
Green-on-Brown Mapping
Using advanced drone mapping technology, we can identify and map living green weeds against bare soil or dry stubble in fallow paddocks. High-resolution aerial imagery is captured and processed to create accurate weed distribution maps, allowing for precise spot-spraying and targeted herbicide application. These maps can be integrated into ground spraying equipment or spray drones, helping reduce chemical usage, lower costs, and improve overall farm efficiency.
Spreading and Spraying
Agricultural drone spraying and spreading provides a safe, efficient, and highly targeted solution for modern land management. Our drones can accurately apply herbicides, pesticides, fertilisers, seed, and bait while reducing ground compaction and minimising chemical waste. Compared to traditional ground rigs and aircraft, drone applications offer improved precision, lower operating costs, and the ability to access difficult or sensitive terrain with minimal environmental impact.
Minesite Inspections and Monitoring
Mining in Australia is big business and mining companies need to do all inspections the safest way possible. Mine sites are full of vertical challenges which can be accomplished easily using our drones and avoids the need for workers at heights. We can also look into land rehabilitation.
Facade Inspection
Drone & aerial photography services can inspect up to 200,000 square feet of vertical facades within a few hours, compared to the days it would take using manual methods. This allows our inspectors to analyse a building’s façade from unique angles and gain access to the difficult to reach areas of a structure.
Search and Rescue (SAR)
Drones enable a significant enhancement in search and rescue (SAR) operations and are a potential life-saving tool. We can use our drones to provide critical support to SAR teams to reduce the risk to humans, enable quicker searches and provide aerial support during adverse weather conditions.
Phone Tower Inspections
Our pilots can use our drones to inspect phone towers to ascertain that the tower is mechanically sound and will cause no problems to the surrounding environment. We are checking for rust, cracks, and any missing parts.
Digital Twins
Digital twins allow asset owners, engineers, inspectors and designers to not only understand the current condition of assets and infrastructure through remote digital inspection, but digital twins allow them to understand changes over time, which leads to accurate predictions of function and degradation into the future. With this information owners can create accurate maintenance, cost, and expected asset life cycle modelling for their organisations.
Wind Turbine Inspections
As part of the maintenance process, a wind turbine drone inspection can identify blade delamination, core defects, internal component failure, and other key defects. Additionally, a drone wind turbine inspection produces more detailed data than traditional inspection methods and can significantly speed up the inspection process.
