Laytown R150 Upgrade
Drone-based construction progress monitoring across the R150 road upgrade in Laytown — orthomosaics, volumetric reports and visual progress records delivered through the build for the project team.
Monthly progress orthomosaics, RTK-grade topos, stockpile volumes the QS can audit, and thermal envelope checks before handover — one crew, one contract, 500+ Irish construction sites since 2016.
Drones give construction teams a faster, safer, and more accurate way to capture site data. From initial topographic surveys through to final as-built verification, aerial data integrates seamlessly into modern construction workflows.
Our construction drone services are designed to support project managers, quantity surveyors, and engineering teams with the data they need to keep projects on track and on budget.
Every service we offer is designed to deliver measurable value on construction projects of all sizes.
Monthly or fortnightly orthomosaics paired with a stacked timelapse — your PM report practically writes itself, and the same dataset backs up programme-delay claims if they surface later.
Learn MoreRTK flight + PPK post-processing against physical ground control, delivered as DWG, CSV points, and GeoTIFF in ETRS89 / ITM. Pre-enabling works usually land 48 hours after the flight.
Learn MoreExcel-ready per-pile report plus the GeoTIFF the volume was calculated from — so the QS can audit the number back to the raw surface if a subcontractor disputes it.
Learn MorePhotogrammetric mesh + LAS/LAZ point cloud for direct load into Revit, Navisworks, or Civil 3D. Georeferenced to ITM so it overlays the design model without a re-projection step.
Learn MoreRadiometric flights over completed roof envelopes flag underfloor heating faults, insulation gaps, and commissioning snags before handover sign-off — typically catches 3–4 issues per scheme.
Learn MoreSingle-visit aerial capture of the completed site for design-vs-actual verification, taking-in-charge applications, and handover documentation. ±5cm accuracy, ITM/Malin Head datum.
