Technology for a Sustainable Future
Drones as a Service (DAAS)
ENVIRONMENTAL DRONE SERVICES LTD is a remote sensing and sustainability consultancy, specialising in the natural environment, energy and infrastructure. Our multidisciplinary team of surveyors, thermographers, engineers, scientists and ecologists use state of the art Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology to provide faster, safer, cost-effective surveys.
A UAV survey can capture high levels of detail over large areas quicker than traditional survey methods leading to faster project turnaround. UAVs can be used to capture data without putting the surveyor in dangerous or inaccessible locations, significantly reducing time, risk, resources and costs.
ENVIRONMENTAL DRONE SERVICES LTD can provide a wide range of 2D/3D deliverables depending on the scope of the project; these may include, thermal analysis, multispectral imaging, 2D mapping, a digital surface model, 3D mesh, point cloud, aerial photography or a video fly-through. We use industry grade RTK/PPK drones giving better than 5cm accuracy.
We hold A2CofC, GVC and CAA operational approvals and Cat 2 thermography and work in accordance with ISO 18434, BS EN 13187 and BS EN 62446.
