Dioptra is proud to begin offering aerial mapping and topographic mapping services through the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems, or UAS (commonly known as drones). UAS is perfectly suited for topographic mapping for pre-engineering design, volumetric calculations in construction, land planning, GIS base mapping and data acquisition, mining and pit operations, and any other discipline requiring survey-grade mapping. We utilize a professional grade UAS platform to perform data acquisition. UAS has many advantages over traditional surveying methods including its safety and efficiency. Remote operation of UAS eliminates the need for a field crew to be put in potentially dangerous situations around busy roads, steep slopes, or heavy equipment. Dioptra’s UAS operators are FAA Part 107 compliant and certified and adhere to FAA regulations for safe UAS operations. Dioptra’ s Adam Thayer, LSI is a Part 107 Certified UAS pilot and will lead our UAS operations. “I am excited to implement the UAS technology into our current workflows, while providing our clients with the same commitment to quality as our other surveys,” said Thayer.
