At Dales Surveying we ensure we are always at the forefront of Commercial Drone Technology
Our Services
With the fast paced Drone market - Technology is quickly becoming outdated. We are committed to reinvesting in new drone assets in order to pass on the benefits directly to our clients.
Photogrammetry
From detailed 3D renderings to largescale Orthorectified mosaics, our surveyors are equipped to provide centimetre accurate models of buildings and largescale RGB maps of moorland / agricultural land.
Thermal Surveys
Equipped with the DJI H20 Thermal camera, we can provide accurate Building Thermal Loading reports to Facilities Managers and Pylon Fault detection for National Grid operatives.
Turbine Inspections
Our pilots are GWO qualified for offshore wind turbine work, including offshore first aid, survival at sea and fire fighting.
The offshore wind turbine inspections total over 360,000 metres of blade inspection. Onshore we have surveyed over 175,000 metres of turbine blades. Our pilots hold the record for the most offshore 6.75mw turbines successfully inspected in one day.
Rooftop Inspections
We can provide detailed rooftop inspections in order to help our clients with preventative measures and showcase any existing or potential faults, all whilst keeping feet safely on the ground. Our 'Congested Area Permission' from the CAA allows our experienced pilots to fly as close as 5 metres from People, Vehicles, Vessels and Structures not within our control. This allows us to legally inspect the most hard to reach areas in some of the busiest cities in the UK in the safest manner possible.
LiDAR Mapping
Using our range of Light Distance and Ranging cameras, we are able to provide centimetre accurate 3D mapping of large areas of land, such as moorland, which has proved beneficial for the planning of conservation and restoration works.
Culvert Inspections
Using our specialist drones, we can inspect underground drainage systems without the need for any ground penetration. This enables us to provide our clients with clear reports of condition and allows preventative maintenance to be planned while reducing the risk of human injury.
