Survey Drafting

Using UAV Technology For Land Survey Projects

Using UAV Technology For Land Survey Projects

Land surveying and measurement gathering is the most basic, yet a crucial stage for any construction project. Over the period, the data collection methods have evolved significantly and now technology plays a vital role in execution. Traditionally, land surveyors would visit the site and collect measurements with survey instruments. But this method has always been problematic for multiple reasons such as inaccuracy of data, time and cost incurred and complexity in it. Moreover, sometimes project site could be difficult for humans to access. That’s where use of drones or UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or System) comes handy. Drone technology can scan potentially large landscapes or project sites and provide more accurate and elegant data compared to traditional methods. It collects data in the form of photogrammetric extraction (measurement with photographs), orthophotography and point clouds. Mostly the data collected through this process is huge in size, presenting micro details, at the same time its processing and output is reliable. In some cases, drone equipment itself could process the data up to certain extend. Applications of UAV Devices – Any size site mapping Volumetric measurements Change detection Inspections Construction site monitoring Damage assessment Automatic data processing (up to a certain limit) However, according to the survey requirements, drones of UAV’s can have customizable equipment’s which vary in resolution or data collection and processing capabilities. Following are the advantages of using drones as survey method. Advantages of UAV Accuracy in measurements Quickly acquired large scale data Dense coverage of large areas 2D & 3D measurements Flexible range Image interpretation capability (for object-based classification) Automatic data processing Recorded images lists the measuring process Cost and time saving method Operates in every terrain Work Flow – Like manned airborne platforms, VAS also collects imagery and produces the most accurate mapping output. Indovance has been using these advance technologies for all its survey drafting projects for years and has expertise in understanding the requirement and providing the most accurate solutions. If you are also looking for a partner who can work on your survey drafting projects, Indovance is the right partner for you.

CAD Drafting Services For A Large City. How We Did It?

Technological advancements in every sphere of design and drafting has opened the doors for new possibilities. One such area of engineering design is route survey design. Recent software advancements have empowered the industry with greater efficiency and improved accuracy in planning and execution of projects. Technologies like GIS (Geographic Information System) has undoubtedly proven to be a reliable tool for integrating different data sets in one single platform, helping surveyor to chalk out exact plan for route survey. 3D GIS can handle larger data sets effectively compared to traditional 2D static maps, a big thank you again to the technological development in design industry. Having said that, is the new software features and technology alone enough to deliver what we call Excellence? Every project is different, has different challenges, has different critical elements to it. And every time, as a project handler, you will need a different problem-solving approach. Yes, you will need technology as a critical resource in designing and drafting, but to strategies and execute, you need expertise and intelligence of highly skilled human resources. One such critical project on which we are working is about – Optical Fiber Cable Placement Route Survey drafting for one of the largest cities in USA. Here is what we did – The Route Survey Drafting Challenge –  Indovance Inc, got this opportunity to carry out the CAD drafting work for route survey of a large city for Optical fiber cable placement. No wonder, this would need a completely new approach as it covers enormously big area and will generate large sets of topographic survey data. Moreover, the timely delivery and quality of work is of paramount importance to us. Combining it all together and delivering complete 2D design of fiber cable placement network is a complex task. Indovance has a solution – This time around, up with new challenge in hand, Indovance team chalked out the critical elements in the survey and strategized to solve each challenge we have. We created view ports that will have all the important existing and proposed elements on cable placement network, and topographic data can be set with predefined positions. We divided the entire city into sections and completed the drafting for each section one by one. But dividing area alone is not the key, view ports were set in a way, that will keep the pre-identified critical elements constant and make sure, the quality standards are met, allowing to finish the project in time. This approach helped us deliver the project with great efficiency. Of course, usage of right software features and design tools helped but the problem-solving approach and expertise of highly skilled human resources over the software tools, yet again proved vital. Indovance Inc, is an expert in Engineering Drafting and Land Surveying works with experience of around one and half decade in engineering design domain. With advantages like highly skilled workforce, cost effective solutions & quick turnaround time (TAT), Indovance is first choice of many fortune 500 engineering and publishing giants. You can also set up your entire design and drafting team in India with our Virtual Office Model. For more information, reach us on +1 919-238-4044 or drop in a mail to us at Info@indovance.com.
