Drone (UAV) Aerial Surveying and Mapping Services

RP Environmental LLC provides advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) services to deliver accurate, high-resolution data for a wide range of applications. Our aerial surveying capabilities support industries such as mining, agriculture, and environmental management by producing detailed orthomosaic imagery, topographic models, and measurable site data. This technology allows us to efficiently collect reliable field information for analysis, planning, and reporting while reducing time and on-site disruption compared to traditional surveying methods.

  • Up to 2,470 acres per flight (maximum flight time is 45 minutes)
  • Captures accurate aerial imagery and transform it into 2D orthomosaics (maps) and 3D models for small to medium-sized sites.
  • Resolution: can achieve orthomosial/3D model accuracy of rougly 1.8 inches per pixel – significantly higher than current satellite and manned aircraft can attain
  • Input custom Ground Control Points to ensure the resulting digital terrain models are precisely geo-positioned
  • Stockpile Volumes and Management
    • Cut and fill volumes
  • Up-to-date surfaces for optimized blast designs
    • Pre and post-blast data
  • Exploration Planning
  • Measure extraction volumes
  • Topographic maps, contour elevation intervals up to two feet
  • Mining and Reclamation Planning, Exploration, Environmental, and Land Use/Zoning Permits
  • Drainage evaluation and water management
  • Apply algorithms, like Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), to create a reflectance map of the crops
  • Select a band from the Near Infrared (where high plant reflectance occurs) to calculate the NDVI
  • Biomass Indication
  • Growth Monitoring
  • Crop Discrimination
  • Chlorophyll indication
  • Use the images captured to create high-resolution maps to show which crops need specific treatment and require closer examination, rather than ground scouting. Eliminates possibility of over-treating and unnecessary chemical applications (good for cost savings and the environment)
  • Crop Damage Evaluation
  • Water elevations
  • Control/mangement of equipment during construction projects
  • Water flow mapping
  • Contour intervals for topographic maps
  • Cloud cover is not a limiting issue due to the altitude at which the drone typically flies
  • No hassle with manned aircraft services
  • Safety
  • Eliminate unnecessary potential for injury in dangerous terrains
  • Quick response time (time from assignment of project to delivery of data to client
