Drone Surveys & Inspection Lancaster
Drone Surveys Lancaster
Here at Drone Site Surveys, we enable the construction industry to work smarter by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/Drones) to inspect, measure and map areas without the need for time consuming and expensive equipment hire. By having a drone survey across Lancaster, you negate the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers or other ways of viewing your building or construction site at height.
As a CAA approved drone company and a Construction Line Gold accredited business, we have undertaken 1000s of drone surveys across the Lancaster and Lancashire region.
Using the most modern drone equipment we can provide images and video of your structures at incredible heights. All of our media is in super high resolution with images and video available up to 4K. We can then back these images with a report for you and your team to understand issues that require further invasive inspection.

Lancaster
Lancaster is a city in the North West of England and the county town of Lancashire. The City of Lancaster district has a population of 138,000, is located approximately 70 miles south of Carlisle and 21 miles north of Preston on the M6 corridor.
Airspace around Lancaster centre itself has no major restrictions but the usual considerations should be given to transport networks, congestion, etc. A Flight Restriction Zone sites above Heysham to the South West of Lancaster, covering the Nuclear Power Station and the surrounding area, with a flight restriction to the east of the city above HMP Lancaster Farms with Carnforth and Nether Kellet GVS (Gas Venting Station) being an area of increased risk for drone operations to the northeast.
While drone flights require greater planning and authorisation in and around restricted zones, this does not mean that we are unable to fly in these areas. Our trained pilots, alongside our experienced administrative team, will work together to gain the permissions to carry out work in the trickiest of locations!
Drone Inspections Lancaster
If you don’t require a report you may just wish to inspect your site in Lancaster. Our pilots can work with you or your surveyors to inspect the whole building or focus on sections most important to you. With our technology we have systems such as live streaming allowing viewing by wearing a virtual reality headset. Allowing you to attend the site and direct our pilots to inspect areas you wish. The remote streaming allows you and your team to watch the drone inspection take place. Having direct communication with the pilot you can again point us in the right direction or get a closer more detailed look at your assets.
With our drone inspections, we deliver all footage in high quality with resolutions up to 4K available. Inspecting your assets from the air using drones provides a cheaper, faster and more reliable way of inspection without the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers or other expensive equipment.

Drone Mapping Lancaster
Along with our surveys and inspection, we can provide in depth mapping for your site. Using high quality images, high precision GPS and photogrammetry, we can map your site so that you don’t need to visit.
This highly detailed map can help solve clarity issues along with being able to see contour lines, and accurate borders (accurate to 1cm). These can then be overlaid on to images to allow you to build up the ultimate picture of your construction site. You can even combine our drone mapping with construction site progress and time lapse video to provide you with an ultimate overview of your construction progress from start to finish.
