OUR SERVICES

Accurate knowledge of material volumes 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.

Most recently, SkyVantage have utilised this technology to estimate remaining volumes in holding ponds for financial planning and to provide detailed cut-to-fill for quantity surveying. 

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.

Multi-spectral scans of vegetation can show when plants/crops are under stress several weeks before they show signs visible to the human eye, such as browning or wilting. If signs of stress are identified earlier, it is possible to take appropriate action to restore the health of the plants/crops. This type of scan works by using specialised sensors that collect wavelengths of light that aren’t visible to the human eye. These are then represented in the visible spectrum to create images in the visible spectrum. These images are then interpreted to determine plant health.

In agriculture, agronomists use this information to plan corrective actions. Heatmaps can be used to target specific areas of a crop, which reduces the amount of product used for treatment. This can significantly reduce the volume of pesticides, fungicides, fertilisers, etc. required to treat a crop, saving time and money and reducing environmental impacts/run-off.

Capturing images of the progress of your construction project over time and at critical stages of development can be critical. Having evidence of works 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.

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.

Australian native animals are notoriously good at camouflaging themselves. Using thermal cameras from an aerial viewpoint allows them to be located much more easily. Integrated smart technologies will provide counts of heat-signatures, and geospatial data of where animals have been located is readily available. 

This service is particularly useful for endangered species monitoring, habitat mapping, pest management, and pre-clearance surveys. 

Using thermal scanning for animal observation results in non-invasive and accurate surveys of native or invasive species, increased efficiency as the surveys cover a lot of ground quickly, and ultimately informs management decision-making, leading to better outcomes.

Aerial technology allows easy inspections of roof infrastructure without the need to physically access the roof space. This is especially useful for multi-story structures where accessing rooftops has greater inherent risks. We can inspect the condition of rooftops in a matter of minutes.

After storm events, it is good practice to inspect your roof for blocked guttering or hail damage. Often, damage can go unnoticed, leading to bigger issues as time goes on. Requesting an inspection from your insurance company can affect your no-claims bonus; we can provide an assessment for a small fraction of that value. We find this service is beneficial for clients with multi-story buildings where roofs are naturally difficult to access.

Tree canopy extents are invaluable for maintaining appropriate stand-off zones around infrastructure, highlighting locations where vegetation growth is encroaching on infrastructure such as roads, powerlines, and roofs. Understanding changes in the canopy extent over time allows planning of maintenance, and can impact insurance, especially for properties under body corporate management.

Please feel free to enquire if you have any questions about the details and scope of the data that can be captured.
