Precision driven surveys from above...reshaping the landscape ahead
Case studies What we are working on
Avon Needs Trees
Avon Needs Trees is a registered charity creating new permanent woodland at a landscape scale throughout the Bristol-Avon River.
We provided Avon Needs Trees with a complete drone survey solution covering a new 422 acre woodland project establishing up to 100,000 trees and shrubs within a mosaic of habitats including wetlands, miles of hedgerow, and species rich grassland.
We helped at the planning stage enabling ANT to have a clear understanding on the topography of their site; looking at elevation levels and possible flood management issues, understanding the site layout and boundaries and understanding plant health with our multispectral data.
Along with this we delivered cinematic video fly throughs, interactive panoramas and 360 walkthroughs to showcase their work to the wider community.
Solarsense
Solarsense is the UK's leading clean energy provider specialising in solar PV and energy storage for businesses in all industry sectors.
We provided Solarsense with a detailed and highly accurate roof and site survey for a solar PV & carport feasibility study. By mapping the entire site Solarsense were able to inspect all areas of the roof and obtain an accurate roof measurement report. By generating 360 walkthroughs of the site Solarsense were also able to have a groud-level record for their design and planning stages.
By utilising the 3D models generated by the drone, we were then able to model in and visualise what the site would look like with the solar panels and carports constructed. This was delivered in the form of cinematic video flythroughs and high resolution visualisation stills.
Belmont estate
Belmont Estate is located in the South West of England. Their focus is on regenerating land, reversing biodiversity loss and reconnecting communities to nature and each other.
We provided Belmont with an annual mapping and inspection service which covers a 250 acre re-wilding site. We provided them with a highly detailed and accurate 2D and 3D visual map. We also produced a multi-spectral layer, enabling them to view plant health and biodiversity changes.
Along with this we delivered cinematic video fly throughs, interactive panoramas and 360 walkthroughs to showcase their work to the wider community.
We will be repeating this survey each year enabling Belmont to monitor and keep track on the health of their re-wilding projects
