Aerial topographic surveys
Aerial topographic surveys can offer immediate cost and time savings in pre-development surveys in Fiji, Solomon Islands & the Pacific Islands.
When beginning any land development project, development professionals turn to publicly available land and spatial information to begin pre development planning and due diligence.
In Fiji, the Solomon Islands and most other the Pacific Islands there is a significant gap in publicly available land and spatial information compared to what our neighbours enjoy in Australia and New Zealand.
The Problem
Out of date surveys and GIS Information on site
Many of the datasets that are available are often old and outdated, this includes aerial imagery, topographical maps and other GIS information that enable thorough pre development planning.
The initial lack of data can lead engineering consulting firms into making costly assumptions. This often results in firms engaging in costly and time consuming land terrestrial surveys for preliminary design work and feasibility studies.
Kahuto Pacific have been supporting architects, engineers, surveyors and other land development professionals in Fiji, the Solomon Islands and the Pacific Islands by providing fast and cost effective aerial topographic surveys.
The Solution
Aerial topographic surveys
With a professional, commercial drone, it is possible to carry out aerial topographic surveys of the same quality as the highly accurate measurements collected by traditional survey methods, but in a fraction of the time.
This substantially reduces the cost of a site survey and the workload of specialists in the field.
Our GIS technicians can extract features from the aerial images such as signs, curbs, road markers, man hole covers and drains reducing the time spent by technicians in the field.
After post-processing with a photogrammetry software, these same images can produce very detailed elevation models, contour lines and break-lines, as well as 3D reconstruction of land sites or buildings.
