OUR PROCESS

Created by potrace 1.10, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2011

Pre Site Assessment

At the early stages we will gather as much information as possible about the project, location, subjects and key dates and timings.  An initial assessment of the subject site will be conducted remotely so that an accurate quotation can be provided.  Any potential issues will be highlighted and suggestions discussed with our client.

Created by potrace 1.10, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2011

Flight Planning

Date and time will be agreed, and the planning process will begin.  A comprehensive risk assessment is produced and updated once our operator is on site. Consideration of the weather, terrain, airspace, proximity of building, people and vehicles is given and relevant control measures implemented before any flight takes place.

Created by potrace 1.10, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2011

Take Flight

All checks in place and the flight will commence. High quality images, mapping data and video footage will be recorded.  Live feed of the footage is available to enable our operator to be directed as required.
