Drone Damage Assessment after Earthquakes, Floods, Wildfires and Landslides
In the first hours after a disaster, an accurate, up-to-date map is critical. We map the affected area quickly, identify damage through before/after comparison, and provide a base for reconstruction.
What we do
- Post-earthquake damage assessment
- Flood extent mapping
- Wildfire and burn scar analysis
- Landslide mapping and monitoring
- Before / after comparison
- Up-to-date base maps for reconstruction

GeoTIFF, SHP, PDFEarthworks & volumes
Cut and fill volumes from the difference between existing ground and the design surface, with cross-sections, schedules and a checked and approved report.
PDF report, DWG sections, XLSXTopographic survey

DWG, DXF, NCZFAQs
How are flight permissions obtained in a disaster zone?
Flights in disaster zones are carried out in coordination with, and with approval from, the competent authorities.
How quickly can damage be assessed?
The flight and a preliminary orthomosaic are turned around quickly; a full analysis depends on the size of the area and is agreed at the proposal stage.
Other industries
Construction
On site, decisions come down to quantities and programme. We document every stage with measurable data — from pre-construction existing conditions, through each valuation period, to post-construction checks.
Mining
In mining, production, inventory and safety all come down to the ground. By surveying pits, benches and stockpiles regularly, we reconcile production by volume and keep track of slope geometry.
Energy (solar, wind, power lines)
In energy assets, a small fault can mean a big loss in output. We support the whole asset life cycle with spatial data — from site selection to post-commissioning thermal inspection.
Agriculture
No field yields evenly. We map crop health with multispectral imagery, flag problem areas early, and help you put inputs where they’re actually needed.
Infrastructure and transport
Long linear assets take days to survey on foot. We map road, canal and utility corridors in a single pass and inspect hard-to-reach structures such as bridges and viaducts up close.
Urban and smart city
Running a city needs current, joined-up data. With up-to-date orthomosaics and a 3D city model, we build your building inventory and turn it into an urban GIS and digital twin platform.
Environment and forestry
Change in natural landscapes is slow but lasting. We monitor forest cover, erosion, water resources and land use with measurable data, giving environmental decisions a solid evidence base.
