Expert Survey Solutions that deliver.
Angell Surveys provides high-accuracy aerial drone survey services for construction, infrastructure, land, agriculture, and environmental projects across the UK. Using the latest UAV photogrammetry and LiDAR technology, we capture precise aerial data processed into professional deliverables including orthomosaics, point clouds, digital terrain models (DTMs), and digital surface models (DSMs).
An aerial drone survey uses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with high-resolution cameras or LiDAR sensors to capture data across a site from above. Drone surveys deliver faster coverage, greater accuracy, and safer access to difficult terrain than traditional ground-based methods — and at significantly lower cost than manned aircraft surveys.
Our aerial drone surveys are used by engineers, planners, landowners, farmers, and contractors who need accurate, georeferenced data delivered quickly. Whether you require a one-off topographic survey or a regular monitoring programme, we tailor each project to your specific requirements.
Our drone survey fleet includes fixed-wing and multi-rotor UAVs equipped with Sony A7R Mk4 100MP sensors and DJI survey-grade platforms. For projects requiring the highest ground sample distance (GSD), we deploy precision GNSS-RTK systems to achieve sub-centimetre positional accuracy without the need for extensive ground control point networks.
Survey data is processed using industry-leading photogrammetry software including Bentley ContextCapture and Agisoft Metashape, ensuring all deliverables meet the strict accuracy requirements of engineering, construction, and planning applications.
We deliver aerial drone surveys across a broad range of industries and project types:
We supply a full range of survey outputs in formats compatible with AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, ArcGIS, and other industry platforms. Standard deliverables include georeferenced orthomosaics, classified point clouds, 3D mesh models, contour plans, cross-sections, volume calculations, and CAD drawings. Bespoke outputs are available on request.
Using RTK/PPK positioning, our drone surveys routinely achieve absolute horizontal accuracy of 1–3 cm and vertical accuracy of 2–5 cm. Accuracy is confirmed with independent check points and reported in the final deliverable. For engineering-grade applications, we establish a ground control network to meet the required specification.
Drone survey costs depend on site size, access, required accuracy, and deliverables. As a guide, a standard topographic drone survey of a 1–5 hectare site typically starts from £500–£1,200. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes for all projects — contact us to discuss your requirements.
