by lunch.

Drodig flies your site, processes the imagery, and hands back a survey-grade terrain model, orthomosaic, and cut/fill volumes. No rover, no crew standing around.

SITES SURVEYED

The flight day

Four steps between takeoff and a signed volume report.

01 — 06:00

Ground control goes down

Our pilot sets five RTK-tagged checkpoints around your active area. These are what your engineer will audit the model against.

02 — 06:12

Autonomous grid flight

A pre-planned double-grid at 80 m with 75% overlap. Machines keep working — we fly above the exclusion zone, not through it.

03 — 07:30

Photogrammetry run

2,400 frames become a dense point cloud, a triangulated surface, and a 2 cm/px orthomosaic. Checkpoint residuals get reported, not hidden.

04 — 10:15

Volumes against design

We difference the new surface against your design or last month's flight and send cut/fill by stockpile and by zone.

Accuracy, stated plainly

Every model ships with its own error bars.

A drone survey is only worth what it can be checked against. We withhold two of the five ground checkpoints from processing and report the residuals on both — so the number you get is measured, not marketed.
