Drone mapping for construction and civil projects in South Carolina
Drone mapping produces a georeferenced orthomosaic: a scaled, accurate overhead map built from hundreds of overlapping photos taken at consistent altitude. From the same flight dataset you can extract 3D surface models, elevation contours, and volume calculations.
A 100-acre site can typically be mapped in one flight session. Output files are compatible with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and most construction management platforms.
What you can get from a mapping flight
- Georeferenced orthomosaic (GeoTIFF)
- 3D point cloud and surface model
- Elevation contours
- Cut/fill volume calculations
- KML/KMZ for Google Earth overlay
Ground control points available for survey-grade accuracy requirements.
Who uses this
Civil engineers use orthomosaics for site design and grading plan development. Developers use volume calculations to track earthwork progress against the plan. Surveyors use aerial imagery to support field documentation. Land planners use accurate overheads for permit applications and site analysis.
