What is a UAV survey?
UAV and aerial mapping is used to capture geospatial survey data in challenging environments, including hazardous, harsh, inaccessible, busy, and large-scale areas. Operated by trained and licensed pilots, an advanced UAV survey captures high-resolution imagery and survey-grade data.
UAV and aerial mapping are invaluable tools for inspections related to maintenance or damage assessment whilst limiting disruption to the site.
Drone and UAV surveying
UAV surveying is a fast and cost-effective solution compared to traditional ground-based surveying methods. Specialised drones play a crucial role in capturing and collating geospatial data from locations that would otherwise be inaccessible. This versatile surveying method excels in challenging conditions such as poor lighting and areas with dense vegetation and tree cover.
UAV survey data is high-quality. The captured data is instantly accessible in real-time, eliminating the necessity for multiple on-site visits. This technology seamlessly integrates with various surveying tools, facilitating a comprehensive capture of asset details.

How accurate is UAV survey data?
High-quality drone and UAV surveys from Murphy Geospatial are able to achieve accuracies of around +/- 20mm consistently.
What can a UAV survey be used for?
To provide cost-effective and efficient data collection for infrastructure projects, enabling accurate mapping, monitoring, and inspection of structures, reducing risks, and improving decision making processes.
For asset inspection/ rooftop assessment in order to detect any damages or irregularities.
For fast data capture and detailed mapping, aiding in conservation planning and management of natural resources.
For aerial inspections of turbine blades and towers to highlight damage.
For improved safety by reducing the need for manual inspections. Faster data collection and analysis, cost savings by optimising maintenance and repair activities, and enhanced planning and management.
