Drone Surveys & Aerial Mapping
Fully Licensed UAV Surveys
Since the beginning of 2017 Tri-Tech have been operating UAVs for drone surveys under CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) rules and while also holding the relevant insurance to carry out mapping, site progress and inspection works.
Our first pilot was trained in 2016 and we now have a number of fully qualified pilots who all fly inside the rules at all times. We put in place procedures and measures such as regular training and an operator’s manual to ensure this happens.
Large areas of ground can be covered capturing the most unbelievable detail which would just be unable to be recorded with traditional methods. Our clients have really seen the benefit of what UAV surveys bring to the table. The money they save and the data they receive as a deliverable have left them in no doubt that Tri-Tech are one of the premier providers of this service nationwide.
UAVs are ideal in the following environments or schemes;
- Quarries and Landfill sites
- Earthworks Schemes
- Heritage Projects
- Inspection works such as Roofs and Facades
- Site Progress – Photos and Video work
We use the latest photogrammetric software which allows us to put this data into a format that suits your requirements, be that Point Cloud, Gridded DTM, DTM, CAD, PDF or we can even provide you with a HTML viewer which allows anyone of your team to view the data and take measurements with no special software required.
If you require any UAV work, contact us today to discuss your requirements.

What is Drone Surveying and Aerial Mapping?
Drone surveying and aerial mapping are technologies that use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, to collect data for surveying and mapping purposes. In drone surveying, the drone is equipped with high-precision sensors,
What we do
our services
Land and Engineering Surveyors

topographical surveys
Tri-Tech work for a variety of different clients on different projects, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, efficient, cost effective surveys ensuring our clients receive the best possible product.

utility mapping
Using the latest equipment, we can provide the location of underground services in either 2D or 3D. We use state of the art Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Location to assist your project when service avoidance may be a potential issue on site.

monitoring
Is there any movement? That is the question that is asked before and during any monitoring scheme. That is the reason we undertake monitoring, to check for movement.

laser scanning
For mass collection of accurate survey data then nothing beats scanning. Using 3D laser Scanners the surveyors can capture millions of points per second with the creation of a PointCloud.

volumetric analysis
We specialise in the analysis of a scheme’s volumetrics at any point in time. Be it Tender, Prestart, Monthly, Weekly, or Final.

river surveys
By using the latest surveying technology, we have been able to survey watercourses safely and efficiently.

setting out & site engineering
Bread and butter work for us! Having a strong relationship with many civil engineering companies we have a very strong team of Site Engineers and Engineering Surveyors working for us.

control network installation
At Tri-Tech we have vast experience in this field. Be it a large highway scheme or a private property we can advise on what accuracies are required from your control network depending on what work you are carrying out and the tolerances you are carrying this work out to.

uav mapping & aerial surveys

measured building surveys
Tri-Tech work for a variety of different clients on different projects, and we pride ourselves on delivering accurate, efficient, cost effective surveys ensuring our clients receive the best possible product.

3d machine control
Machine control systems have been around for years now and Tri-tech have been utilising these systems from the very start. We realised the benefits of these systems early on when working with earthworks contractors.

survey equipment hire
Being a leader in the Surveying and Engineering sector we have a fleet of modern survey equipment at our disposal which is second to none. We carry the latest GNSS Base Stations, GNSS Rovers, Robotic Total Stations, Laser Scanners, Digital Levels, and Dual Grade Lasers.
