How much ground can you cover in a day?

Elements and weather contribute to the time it takes to survey a land. We plan out the best we can with the tools we have such as Maps to estimate a timeframe, something we will go over with you in the proposal.

Can you fly federal land or a federal contract?

Yes, on NDAA-compliant aircraft. (NDAA-Compliant Drone Survey)

Is this a legal boundary survey?

No. Our surveys are for mapping, planning and exploration. A property boundary survey has to be done by a licensed land surveyor.

Yes. For more information give us a call or fill out our form.

Why a drone survey for mineral exploration?

LiDAR survey: a DJI Zenmuse L3 LiDAR sensor maps the ground surface in detail, including through gaps in brush and trees. (LiDAR and photogrammetry)
Photogrammetric and topographic survey: a 45-megapixel mapping camera builds an accurate surface model, contours and imagery of the whole property. (LiDAR and photogrammetry)
Magnetic survey: a Geometrics MagArrow II magnetometer maps differences in the rock's magnetism, tracing structures and intrusions hidden under cover. (Geophysical surveys)
Radiometric survey: a gamma-ray spectrometer measures natural radiation at the surface, used to map alteration and to explore for uranium. (Geophysical surveys)

Federal Sites

Federal sites and federally funded projects can't be flown with DJI drones. For those jobs we fly NDAA-compliant Inspired Flight aircraft, built in the USA.
