Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Using drones is an efficient and cost-effective strategy to optimize your project timelines. These unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are remotely controlled to cover large acreages in various situations, from everyday surveying to dangerous inspection environments. This advanced technology comes in many shapes, sizes, and capabilities.
Duncan-Parnell is a dealer of dependable drone surveying solutions. We have established a reputation for providing an exceptional customer experience, trusted by engineers, contractors, surveyors, and architects across the Southeastern United States.
Applications for Commercial Drones
Drones are innovative tools used by numerous sectors to collect crucial information from the air. The use of these commercial drones ensures precise measurement of a geographical area when surveying land or agriculture, public safety, or other applications.
Aside from cameras, drones can be equipped with various sensors to collect thousands of measurements and data points. For example, a drone with a long-range LiDAR sensor ensures accuracy in distance measurements to create detailed 3D models. The possibilities are endless with LiDAR-based drones with options to see at night, interpret depth, and create detailed maps.
While they are relatively new, more and more companies are using drones to support their operations and collect vital information. A few applications for professional drones include:
- Surveying and mapping
- Public safety/collision reconstruction/forensics
- Construction
- Inspection
- Energy/utilities
