////// 07 — ENGINEERING SURVEYING

Geomatics and engineering surveying

Dronemeters is as much a surveying practice as a technology company. We combine drone data with conventional GNSS and total station surveys to produce regulation-compliant engineering base maps for your projects.

What’s included

Topographic surveys
Setting out
Spot height plans
Existing conditions surveys
Cut and fill
Volume calculations
Construction surveys
As-built surveys
Road surveys
Corridor mapping
Utility and infrastructure surveys
Mine surveys
Technical data for cadastral work
Engineering base maps

Drone and ground survey, combined

Open ground is captured quickly by drone; areas under eaves and tree cover and critical details are picked up with GNSS and total station. You get the speed of aerial survey with engineering-grade accuracy.

As-built and construction

As-built surveys compare what’s been built against the design and report deviations in level and position. Cut-and-fill and volume calculations give dated, repeatable figures for interim valuations.

Corridors and mines

Long linear assets — roads, canals, pipelines — are mapped in one pass. In mines and quarries, slopes, benches and stockpile volumes are surveyed on a regular cycle.

Deliverables from this service

02 — TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY

Topographic survey

A layered, scaled digital survey to Turkish large-scale mapping standards, with spot heights, contours, buildings and site features.

DWG, DXF, NCZ

04 — EARTHWORKS & VOLUMES

Earthworks & 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, XLSX

01 — ORTHOPHOTO

Orthomosaic

A georeferenced, distortion-corrected aerial image mosaic you can measure directly from.

GeoTIFF, ECW, JPEG 2000

03 — 3D TERRAIN MODEL

3D terrain model

A 3D model of the ground and everything on it — surface model (DSM), bare-earth model (DTM), classified point cloud and textured mesh.

GeoTIFF (DSM/DTM), LAS/LAZ, OBJ, 3D Tiles

Industries we serve with it

CONSTRUCTION

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

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.

INFRASTRUCTURE

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.

FAQs

Can setting out and spot height plans be done by drone?

Spot height plans and topographic bases can be produced from drone data. Setting out — marking design points on the ground — is done on site with GNSS or a total station.

Which coordinate system do you use?

ITRF96 (TUREF) with the appropriate TM zone, the standard in Türkiye, is our default. Any other system your project requires can be set up.

Do you handle cadastral registration?

We produce the technical data and base maps for cadastral work. Official registration is carried out by the institutions and offices authorised by law.
