DRONE SURVEY & SPATIAL ANALYSIS

KNOW WHAT’S
MOVED.
Turn aerial capture into measurable cut, fill, stockpile and site-progress data.

CPM combines RTK-corrected drone capture with photogrammetric processing to create high-resolution site models, compare surfaces and quantify change across civil, industrial and development projects.

01SURFACE DIFFERENCING
DRONE SURVEY & SPATIAL ANALYSIS

ONE CAPTURE. TWO SURFACES. MEASURABLE CHANGE.

We build a digital surface model from everything visible above ground, then a ground-classified terrain model beneath it. Compare one surface against another and every cell becomes a measurable height or depth against the reference.

02WHAT THE DATA ANSWERS
DRONE SURVEY & SPATIAL ANALYSIS

TURN SITE CHANGE INTO NUMBERS YOU CAN USE.

01
CUT + FILL

Compare against design

Difference the captured surface against your engineer or surveyor’s design surface to quantify cut and fill and show where the variance sits.

↗
02
PROGRESS

Measure movement over time

Compare one capture with the next to quantify material moved during the period and support progress reporting with measured site data.

↗
03
STOCKPILES

Repeatable volume measurement

Measure stockpiles against the surrounding yard level using the same coordinate frame each cycle so figures remain comparable.

↗
04
EVIDENCE

Deliver the underlying data

Issue the maps, models, point cloud and reports behind the quantities so project teams can check the result rather than accept one number.

03HOW IT WORKS
DRONE SURVEY & SPATIAL ANALYSIS

FROM FLIGHT TO MEASURED CHANGE.

The capture is the input. The value comes from turning consistent site data into repeatable surfaces, comparisons and reporting.

CAPTURE
01
01 / 04

PLAN & CAPTURE

Pre-flight planning, CASA compliance, site risk assessment and RTK-corrected aerial capture over the defined work area.

MODEL
02
02 / 04

BUILD THE SURFACES

Process imagery into an orthomosaic, digital surface model, digital terrain model and dense point cloud.

MEASURE
03
03 / 04

COMPARE & COMPUTE

Difference the current surface against ground, design or a prior capture to calculate height, depth, cut, fill or moved volume.

REPORT

04 / 04

DELIVER THE DATA

Package the analysis with georeferenced rasters, CAD-ready files, point cloud, coordinate schedules and a written report.

04MEASURED SITE DATA

HIGH-RESOLUTION SITE DATA.
BUILT TO BE CHECKED.

A representative photogrammetric capture can produce centimetre-scale orthomosaic and elevation data, dense point clouds and a measurable difference surface. The same surface-differencing method applies to bulk earthworks, progress tracking and stockpile measurement.

ONE CAPTURE. A COMPLETE SITE DATA PACKAGE.

Each capture can be delivered as a practical set of mapping, modelling and analysis outputs ready for the people already working on the project.

07BUILT FOR PROJECT TEAMS
DRONE SURVEY & SPATIAL ANALYSIS

THE SAME SITE DATA, USEFUL TO EVERYONE.

The workflow sits inside active development and construction projects, giving stakeholders a repeatable view of what is on site and how it is changing.

01

CIVIL CONTRACTORS

Track cut, fill, moved material and stockpiles across active earthworks using measured site data.

02

DEVELOPERS

Create a consistent record of site progress and quantify movement across the life of the job.

03

PROJECT MANAGERS

Use repeat captures and mapped variance to support reporting, claims, coordination and decisions.

04

ENGINEERS & SURVEY TEAMS

Receive georeferenced rasters, LandXML, CAD-ready files, point clouds and coordinate schedules in standard formats.
