Drone Use for Surveyors
Survey-Grade Accuracy, From the Air
RTK/PPK-precision photogrammetry and LiDAR data that drops straight into your existing survey workflow — covering more ground, in less time, without sacrificing accuracy.
Your Crew Can't Be Everywhere at Once
Large parcels, hard-to-access terrain, and tight deadlines put pressure on every field day. Traditional total-station and GPS-only workflows mean more time on site and fewer jobs completed per week.
A Second Crew in the Sky
Nine Ten Drones pairs RTK/PPK-enabled platforms with LiDAR and high-resolution photogrammetry payloads to capture dense, accurate point clouds and orthomosaics — output formatted for the CAD and survey software your team already uses.
Drone Applications for Survey Teams
Topographic Surveys
Dense point clouds and contour-ready elevation data across large or difficult-access parcels.
Boundary & ALTA Support
High-resolution orthomosaics to support boundary documentation and ALTA/NSPS deliverables.
Volumetric & Stockpile Measurement
Accurate cut/fill and stockpile volume calculations without a crew walking the pile.
Construction Staking Support
Fast as-built capture to verify grading and staking accuracy against design.
Utility Corridor Mapping
LiDAR-based corridor mapping for easements, ROW documentation, and utility coordination.
As-Built Documentation
Rapid site documentation for permitting, close-out packages, and change-order support.
Why Survey Teams Work With Nine Ten Drones
RTK/PPK-Precision Hardware
Platforms and payloads like the Zenmuse L2 and Freefly Flux O1 built for survey-grade accuracy, not just aerial photography.
LiDAR & Photogrammetry, From One Provider
Point clouds, orthomosaics, and DEMs delivered in the formats your CAD and survey software already read.
Licensed, Insured Pilots
Part 107-certified operators who understand survey deliverables, not just flight operations.
Training Available
Want to fly it in-house? Our training programs cover mapping and photogrammetry workflows end to end.
