3D model of site - The area that needs to be surveyed is the field just below the circular storage units |
Mission Summary
- Goal: Use drone scanning to create contours to assist in the design of an emergency hardstand.
- Tech: DJI Phantom 4 Pro, Drone Deploy
- Conditions: Afternoon, sunny, moderate wind
- Outcome: This proved to be an extremely effective way of gathering elevation data and converting that into contours to help Civil Designers plan an emergency hardstand area.

With the elevation gradient it's much easier to understand the levels and slope of the area |

This has been another 'drone adventure' in aerial surveying, inspection and mapping by
The Aero Scout.
