From surveying vast tracts of land for a new development to tracking environmental damage, few resources are more innovative or useful than aerial imaging. As the team at Mid-Penn Engineering in Lewisburg, PA, explains, this tool has many useful applications for modern land surveying.

Top 3 Reasons To Use Aerial Imaging

1. Site Pre-Planning

One of the most common applications of aerial imaging is in the planning phase of a major construction project. Regardless of whether you are building a commercial facility or a new real estate development, aerial imaging can capture a high-quality image of an entire site. This allows surveyors to identify potential problems that might not be as easily noticed at ground level. By seeing opportunities and challenges with aerial photography, it becomes significantly easier to make any necessary adaptations to a construction project and ensure a successful outcome.

2. Marketing

The increased use of drones and other aerial imaging technology has also made its impact felt in the world of marketing. This is particularly true in real estate, where aerial imagery gives potential buyers a more thorough view of a potential property. Many commercial developments also use aerial imaging to create maps and other useful materials for their customers.

3. Environmental Mapping

From crop failures to wildfires, the full impact of a natural or man-made disaster can sometimes be hard to gauge. Aerial imaging gives viewers a complete picture of the extent of the damage, enabling property owners to make a more accurate assessment of the damage and start creating effective plans to resolve the issue. This mapping can also help property owners identify potential problems before they get out of hand, allowing them to divert disaster.
