Geotechnical Surveying

Geotechnical UAV Land Surveying

DroneIT specialises in UAV land surveying to accurately map difficult or inaccessible terrain for geotechnical engineering analysis and solutions.

We use aerial data to reconstruct 3D terrain features in the digital world with high accuracy, giving engineers a far more complete picture than a traditional ground survey.

Geotechnical Surveying

  • Risk Assessment:
    We identify and evaluate potential safety hazards such as rockfalls, cliff failures and landslips, empowering informed decision-making for risk mitigation.
  • Structural Design:
    Engineers utilise our data for designing structures like retaining walls and stop banks, optimizing their effectiveness and safety
  • Inaccessible Area Inspection:
    Drone IT's UAV capabilities enable us to access and map areas that are otherwise challenging or impossible to reach, ensuring no corner goes unexamined.
  • Fault Line Assessment:
    Our technology aids in assessing fault lines, contributing to a better understanding of geological conditions and potential seismic risks.
We have used UAVs in Hawke’s Bay to assess and monitor a major landslide on Clifton Beach, to monitor ongoing rockfalls across a 10km stretch of coastal cliffs, to inspect and assess the cliff faces of Bluff Hill for potential failures and for post cyclone analysis of specific natural hazards.
