Drone

Drone photogrammetry is a mapping method that uses camera-equipped drones to capture aerial photos with overlapping coverage, which are then processed into maps or 3D models. With many overlapping photos, software can calculate the position and elevation of objects on the earth's surface and produce detailed mapping data.

This method is highly efficient for large areas or hard-to-reach land, as aerial data capture is much faster than direct ground measurement. In addition, the results are clear visual images, so site conditions are easy for all parties to understand.

Drone photogrammetry is well suited for:

  • Mapping large areas for housing, industrial estates, plantations, and mines
  • Creating base maps and contour maps for planning
  • Monitoring construction progress over time
  • Volume calculations, such as material stockpiles or cut and fill
  • Documenting site conditions and the surrounding project environment
  • Creating 3D models of buildings or sites

Accuracy is improved by installing ground control points measured with geodetic GPS, so the map's positions and elevations are tied to a coordinate system.

Scope of Work & Work Stages

  1. Consultation & Mission PlanningWe define the area, the required output resolution, and the type of final deliverables, then prepare a flight plan.
  2. Site Survey & Condition CheckThe team checks site conditions, the flight area, weather factors, and applicable drone flight regulations.
  3. Control Point Installation & MeasurementGround control points are installed and their coordinates measured to ensure accurate map results.
  4. Aerial PhotographyThe drone flies along the planned route and captures photos with the appropriate degree of overlap.
  5. Photo ProcessingThe photos are processed to produce an orthophoto map, surface models, and a point cloud.
  6. Map Product GenerationFrom the processed data, contour maps, elevation models, and 3D models are produced as needed.
  7. Quality Check & ReportingThe results are checked against the control points and compiled into a report.

What You Get

  • Aerial orthophoto map of the survey area
  • Digital surface and terrain models (DSM and DTM)
  • Contour map
  • 3D model of the site or building
  • Volume calculations when required
  • Control point data and mapping results report
  • Output files in ready-to-use formats for planning and documentation

Integrated with Other CRN Services

PT Cipta Reka Nusantara handles surveys, design, engineering, and permitting within a single team. Data from this service is used directly in subsequent work, so there is no need for re-measurement and every project stage uses the same reference.

  • Measurable accuracy: ground control points are measured with GPS Geodetic so the orthophoto and elevation models are tied to the correct coordinates.
  • A basis for planning: orthophotos, contour maps, and 3D models make site planning easier for Architectural Design and Detail Engineering Design (DED), especially for large sites.
  • Project monitoring: periodic mapping records construction progress as well as cut and fill volumes over time.
  • Condition documentation: aerial photos and 3D models of buildings or towers serve as supporting visual data Factory & Warehouse Structural Audit and Tower Strengthening.

Why choose PT Cipta Reka Nusantara for topographic surveys?

  • Complete methods, from terrestrial surveying to drone, LiDAR, and georadar
  • Methods selected to suit project needs, accuracy, and budget
  • Data directly connected to our architectural design, DED, and soil survey services
  • Well-tied control points and coordinates, so results can be verified
