LiDAR technology, known for its high precision in distance measurement and 3D mapping, has undergone significant transformations since its inception. Traditionally, LiDAR systems relied on various platforms such as handheld sensors, aircraft-mounted sensors, and satellite-based systems.

Recent advancements in digital photography, software, and drones have revolutionised the field of photogrammetry, enabling high-precision surveys at relatively low costs across various scales. Photogrammetry drones are now widely used in diverse fields such as archaeology, heritage architecture, structural inspections, and emergency surveys.

Team UAV prides itself on pioneering advanced surveying technologies. Recently, we undertook a project to map one of Europe's most famous gravity-oriented bike parks—Revolution Bike Park. Revs is a substantial 120-130-acre bike park, which means traditional surveying techniques would not be appropriate.

Team UAV were commissioned to execute a comprehensive project involving photogrammetry data collection of 14 water treatment works.

This ambitious project aimed to capture high-resolution images for detailed photogrammetry processing, with the goal of achieving an accurate reconstruction to 25mm and a resolution of under 1 cm per pixel.

Team UAV embarked on a pioneering project for the Environment Agency, utilising drones to conduct comprehensive inspections of water culverts. Concealed by years of urban development, these structures posed significant challenges for maintenance and safety assessments. This case study explores the innovative approach adopted by Team UAV, demonstrating the capabilities of modern drone technology in overcoming traditional inspection hurdles, enhancing safety, and providing unprecedented insights into infrastructure health.

In a world where technology continually reshapes how we conduct business, drone inspections have emerged as a vital tool in maintaining the integrity and safety of workplace buildings.From car dealerships and fast-food restaurants to supermarkets and sports arenas, structural soundness and aesthetic appeal of buildings play a significant role in business operations.

Innovations within the drone sector have continued to help increase productivity, safety and data capture. In the realm of industrial inspections, particularly in confined spaces, the introduction of cutting-edge technologies has revolutionised the way we ensure safety, efficiency, and accuracy, but why should you opt for this type of inspection?

The essence of safety in industrial and construction realms rests on a comprehensive understanding of confined spaces before any inspection is carried out. As industries evolve and technological advancements like drone inspections become integral, the foundational knowledge about confined spaces becomes even more critical.

In the vast expanse of wind energy, a subtle yet powerful transformation is unfolding as drones soar to the forefront, reshaping the dynamics of wind turbine inspections. This shift towards unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) marks a significant leap in efficiency, precision, and cost-effectiveness, redefining the landscape of wind turbine maintenance.

In recent times, the solar energy industry has experienced a remarkable transformation in how they inspect and maintain solar installations. Drones have stealthily taken center stage, reshaping the landscape of solar panel inspections with their efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and precision. Let's delve into the silent but powerful revolution that drones are bringing to the realm of monitoring and optimizing solar farms.

Team UAV undertook a groundbreaking project in Scotland, focused on inspecting and creating digital twin models of water towers using photogrammetry.

In the realm of infrastructure maintenance and safety, the innovative application of drone technology has brought transformative changes. This case study delves into Team UAV’s
