High Speed Data Collection

Drone surveys can be completed quickly and without the requirement of expensive and time consuming scaffolding or manual access. Drone surveys can also be used in conjunction with other survey methods to increase the speed of data collection for larger projects.

Reduced Risk

The ability to survey from a drone platform increases safety and reduces risk by eliminating the requirement for workers to operate at height in order to assess condition or measure works.

Multiple Output Options

Our outputs are specifically tailored to your needs and can range from traditional 3D CAD drawings to 3D point clouds and photographs.

Sun Hill also provides online Web Services which enable point clouds to be viewed and analysed remotely through a web browser - Learn more

Case Study

River Meon | Hampshire

Sun Hill was tasked to undertake a drone inspection of an M27 motorway bridge over the River Meon.

This required our team of drone professionals to survey the structure beneath a live motorway without generating risk to the traffic or requiring expensive and complicated traffic management.

Utilising drones negated the requirement for working at height and enabled the work to be completed in a single shift.

Through the use of drones the client saved time, reduced risk and avoided the cost of working at height.
