Drone Surveying Services in Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester’s fast-changing landscape from city-centre high-rises to former industrial sites and sprawling greenbelts demands modern, efficient, and highly accurate surveying methods. Our RTK drone surveying service supports construction, regeneration, environmental monitoring, and masterplanning across all boroughs of Greater Manchester.
​
Whether you’re designing a new development in Salford, conducting a land-use survey in Rochdale, or planning drainage in Stockport, our drone mapping service delivers centimetre-accurate data, fast. We remove the complexity and risk of manual surveys, replacing them with high-resolution, repeatable aerial datasets that integrate directly with your CAD, BIM, and GIS platforms.
Supporting Regeneration, Resilience, and Responsible Planning
With its complex mix of urban density, green infrastructure, and former mill towns, Greater Manchester is a region in constant evolution. RTK drone surveys allow us to track that change in real time offering precision data for smart city initiatives, nature recovery plans, and housing growth zones alike.
​
We’ve surveyed brownfield plots, green corridors, and transport-linked sites. Our services are especially useful for drainage planning, transport access modelling, solar feasibility assessments, and biodiversity baseline mapping. By flying the same coordinates multiple times, we enable change detection and ongoing project validation with zero disruption to site activity.
Case Study: Mixed-Use Redevelopment Feasibility
A property developer working on a 14-acre site required a full topographic and surface condition survey to evaluate feasibility for a mixed-use scheme combining residential and light commercial units. The plot featured old foundations, embankments, and existing access roads making manual surveying difficult and time-consuming.
​
Our drone captured the entire area in a single RTK-locked flight. Within 48 hours, we delivered an orthomosaic, DSM, and CAD-ready contours. These outputs allowed the client’s design team to explore multiple layout options and assess cut-and-fill requirements before proceeding to design stage, saving time and cost.
