The Drone Topo Trifecta

Where speed, accuracy, and crew safety seamlessly converge.

In business we usually trade one of these points to get two others, however with Drone Solutions LLC. there is no trade off.

Speed– with conventional gathering techniques the quicker you gather the lower the accuracy, when we use moving vehicles accuracy reduces significantly.

Placing ground control points (GCP’s) allows us to take only about 10-20 points per 100 acres from open easy to access areas, allows stationary access for RTK precision, tie into a local coordinate system and avoid hiking through rough terrain.

Long story short this cuts Topo times for our customers by 90%. Most companies spend less than 2 hours with us on site and get their topo points and contours delivered in their desired file type in 5 working days.

Accuracy– gathering accurate points requires time, either finding locations where you can maintain RTK fix or setting up and traversing a total station (for days).

To ensure you get the best accuracy Drone Solutions LLC. flies RTK equipped drones above all the obstacles maintaining a high-quality fix throughout the entire mission and backs that up with ground control points marked by you for orthorectification of the map and checking of the map accuracy.

When our RTK equipment is paired with marking of the GCP’s it creates an incredibly accurate Digital Surface Model (DSM) usually sub-1/10th of a foot elevation accuracy (even better in X/Y) to then pull thousands of points from. We provide training to all our clients on how to read accuracy reports, so you know the accuracy of the deliverables your producing.

Safety– how much does it cost to have an employee down for weeks with an ankle sprain or broken leg? Not to mention the physical and financial cost to that employee and the company.

We have the equipment to do the hard work so you can move on with getting the client what they need and keep your valuable employees healthy to work long and prosperous careers while keeping your insurance down.

While providing the trifecta, Drone Solutions LLC. always maintains FAA Compliance so you do not need to worry about the FAA. With a lifetime of professional aviation experience under our belt this is our specialty and the reason behind our consulting service. If you’re building your own drone program and need to ensure you’re in compliance and would like to tune the drone program to provide all it can to streamline your operations and get the most of your program.
