Multi-drone mapping for construction planning

GPS SUL Agrimensura, a Brazilian service provider, was commissioned to survey a coastal area of 676 ha / 1,670 ac and gather insights for construction planning.

The goal of the Municipality was to check the industrial development potential and to have enough data for the preparatory and exploration construction phase.

Although the mission seemed simple, the area presented strong and constant winds during the day, so the flight window was 2 hours per day.

GPS Sul Agrimensura team selected the eBee Geo fixed-wing drone because of its great performance even in windy conditions. The reduced flight window per day made them decide to fly multi-drone and collect all the data in just 2 hours.

Results:

• Costs reduced by 50% – Pilots, fuel and hotel expenses
• No need to have a second team in the field
• Image acquisition capacity doubled
• Number of flights reduced by 50%
