Technics is committed to providing its clients with the best results by using the latest technology, playing an active role in supporting the development and improvement of the land surveyor industry.
As part of its technology evaluation programme, Technics selected two of its staff to attend an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) demonstration, hosted by GEO-4D.
The team were given the opportunity to see fist hand how the LA-300, a fixed wing, fully automated drone designed primarily for mapping purposes, works.
The UAV can carry a bottom mounted digital camera or a front mounted Go-Pro, depending on desired deliverables.
The day included a demonstration on how to plan a flight using ‘Operation Centre’, the dedicated software used to plan, monitor and control the flight, which can then be downloaded onto a tablet to take into the field.
A live flight was also carried out at the test site followed by an insight in to the processes involved in turning the data collected into the final product, in this case DTMs.
We’d like to pass on our thanks to the Geo-4D team for giving us an insight in to how we can use the latest technology to deliver a more diverse range of services to our expanding client base and help take the industry forward.
If you would like more information on UAV technology or want to find out how it can benefit your project, please contact Peter Morrison at our Guildford office on +44 (0)1483 230 080 or email peter.morrison@technicsgroup.com
