While ground-level land surveying is still a valuable part of construction planning, modern managers will be interested in acquiring all of the information they can about a job site in less time. This has been made significantly easier with the introduction of drones and their accompanying technology. If you are planning a construction project, consider these three reasons drone mapping services help construction managers with land surveying. 

Benefits of Drone Mapping 

1. Explore the Profile of the Land

Because drones can hover high above a job site, they give construction managers a better view of the profile of the land, making it easier to plan the best approach for the project. Additionally, images can be captured, recorded, and viewed later, making it easier to explain the reasons for making specific choices to clients. Another significant benefit of this land surveying process is the fact that drone mapping takes a fraction of the time traditional surveying takes, helping your project to stay on schedule. 

2. Determine Water Routes 

Aerial drone mapping is also critical for preventing flooding since it can help you better evaluate the natural path water may take. By assessing the peaks and valleys of a piece of land, you can determine water routes, helping you to better plan the location of catchment tanks and other water-related equipment. 

3. Improve Safety

Being able to see the land from an aerial view also makes it easier to improve safety, since you can determine where equipment should be brought in, which parts of the property contain slippery aggregates, and mark spots that might be hard to reach. Careful project planning helps ground teams to assess potential dangers more accurately, preventing incidents and costly delays.
