Volumetric Estimation
Accurate knowledge of the volume of materials can be crucial to workflow and logistics. We use RTK technology to ensure cm-accurate measurements and integrate these measurements with 3D modelling software.
These models can be used to compare changes in material volumes over time or accurately calculate the volume of irregular shapes.
We have even used this technology to calculate the change of water level in dams given certain volumes of inflow/outflow.
Construction Snapshots
Capturing images of the progress of your construction project over time and at critical stages of development can be critical. Having evidence of work completed can be invaluable in conflict resolution, as well as for communication with clients.
From a client's perspective, regular records of work progress can be reassuring. Aerial perspectives can capture records in ways that traditional photography can’t replicate.
Precise positioning allows us to save the exact location and camera settings at which an image is captured to ensure that follow-up images are from the exact perspective of the original images, resulting in consistency and repeatability. This means that progress photos can be taken from the precise position and angle throughout the life of a project.
Solar Panel Thermal Scan
Protect your solar investment with our professional thermal imaging inspection service. Using advanced infrared technology, we detect hidden faults, like overheating cells, loose connections, and potential fire hazards—that are invisible during a standard visual inspection. These issues can significantly impact energy output and system lifespan. Our detailed thermal reports provide clear images, precise diagnostics, and practical recommendations to ensure your system operates safely and efficiently.
International standards require thermal scanning at installation and at least every four years for electrical safety and compliance. Regular inspections help you meet these requirements, uncover manufacturer defects often covered under warranty, and protect your warranty rights. Whether managing a commercial array or a residential rooftop system, our qualified technicians can help you maximise performance and maintain full compliance, giving you confidence in the return you expect.
Asset Inspection
Until recently, asset inspections were often done via helicopter or by physically accessing structures. With drone technology, we can assess structures and infrastructure more safely, much faster, and at a greatly reduced cost.
For instance, inspecting telecommunication towers for maintenance planning can be done using drone technology without the need for personnel to climb the tower. High-quality geo-tagged images can be captured that allow assessment and identification of defects and maintenance issues in situations where physical access is difficult or impractical.

Calculating the volume of water and the remaining capacity associated with water depth changes in a reservoir.
The owner/operator of a reservoir requested a scan and model to be created to understand the relationship between the volume of water entering a reservoir and the resulting change in water level. This would allow them to know the remaining capacity of the reservoir, given a known water level. The reservoir had been emptied for maintenance at the time of the request, with a short window of opportunity to capture data before it was allowed to refill.
This project had two distinct parts: Firstly to capture an accurate measurement of the extent of the reservoir; Second, to use a 3D model to calculate how the volume contained in the reservoir changes as the depth of water changes.
We coordinated with the client to capture an aerial survey of the reservoir while it was empty, and installed marking indicators to show the water level (water level marks). We then used the data captured from the aerial survey to create a 3D model and calculated the volume of water contained in the reservoir with varying water levels, with 10cm depth increments. We provided the client with the created 3D model, as well as 2 data tables: the first showing the volume of water contained given the known water level, the second showing the remaining capacity given a known water level.
This knowledge allows for precise management of the reservoir into the future.
