UAV Mapping

Modern Aerial Technology for Surveying

At Kerr & Potvin Inc., we use UAV (drone) technology as part of our surveying process to improve efficiency and capture valuable site information. UAV mapping provides high-resolution aerial imagery and topographic data in a short timeframe, which can reduce the need for extended field work and add detail to site documentation.

This approach is especially helpful for large or difficult-to-access properties, where traditional surveying methods alone may be more time-consuming or costly.

Our UAV Mapping Capabilities

Aerial Imagery Capture
High-resolution aerial photographs that provide a clear and current record of the project site for planning, analysis, and documentation.

Topographic Mapping
Creation of topographic maps from UAV-collected data to support engineering design, drainage planning, and grading reviews.

Orthophoto Production
Development of georeferenced orthophotos that combine survey control with aerial imagery to support site measurement and mapping.

Volume Calculations
Stockpile and excavation volume assessments for construction, aggregate, and earthworks projects.

Site Progress Monitoring
Aerial surveys to track project progress, document construction stages, and assist with reporting requirements.

Shoreline and Waterbody Surveys
Aerial mapping of shorelines, waterfronts, and flood-prone areas to support environmental assessments and planning.

Integration with Traditional Surveying
Use of UAV data together with ground-based survey measurements to provide a complete view of site conditions.

Large-Area and Remote Site Mapping
Efficient mapping of expansive properties, rural developments, and difficult-to-access locations without the need for extensive ground work.
