Drone Surveys & Inspection Macclesfield
Drone Surveys Macclesfield
Here at Drone Site Surveys, we enable the construction industry to work smarter by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/Drones). We allow you to inspect, measure and map areas without the need for time-consuming and expensive equipment hire. By having a drone survey across Macclesfield, 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 Macclesfield and the wider Cheshire 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.

Macclesfield
Macclesfield is a market town in the county of Cheshire, situated on the River Bollin, south of Manchester.
Macclesfield itself is situated in a Class D control zone which is due to its proximity to Manchester International Airport. There is a train line that runs through Macclesfield which can cause limitations with the flight of a drone. With Network rail, drones are permitted to be within 50 meters of either side of train lines, without special permitted consent. As Macclesfield is a relatively highly populated town, there are multiple areas of concern to be considered when piloting a drone in the area. Such as schools. While not in the Peak District, the town lies near the edge and the drone rules of the Peak District must be considered.
Drone flights require planning to ensure all permissions required are applied for and secured. Our experienced pilots and admin teams work together to secure the correct permissions for each flight carried out. Whether it be an airport, sports venue, prison, hospital, National Rail exclusion zone, or any other stakeholder that requires permission to be obtained from, our backroom team can secure it.
Drone Inspections Macclesfield
If you don’t require a report you may just wish to inspect your site in Macclesfield. 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 Macclesfield
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 onto 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.
