Drone & Aerial Mapping
High-resolution maps and models of your site, captured from the air and tied to survey-grade ground control — so the orthomosaic, terrain model, or volume you receive is something you can measure against and build on.
From flight to measurable map
We plan each flight around the deliverable you need and the realities of the site — terrain, canopy, airspace, and Hawaiʻi's fast-changing trade-wind weather. With ground control placed and documented, the resulting orthomosaic and 3D model aren't just pretty pictures; they're a measurable record you can return to for design, permitting, monitoring, and dispute resolution.
Topography, volumes & change over time
Need contours for a grading plan, stockpile and earthwork volumes, or a before-and-after of a site? We produce topographic surveys, digital surface and terrain models, and repeat-flight change detection, delivered in the formats your engineers and GIS staff already work in.
What we deliver
- High-resolution orthomosaics and 3D models / meshes
- Topographic surveys and contours at your interval
- Digital surface (DSM) and terrain (DTM) models
- Earthwork and stockpile volumetrics
- Ground-control and accuracy reporting
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an orthomosaic and a 3D model?
An orthomosaic is a single, distortion-corrected aerial map you can measure on; a 3D model captures the site’s shape and volume. Most projects use both.
How accurate are your maps?
We tie every flight to documented ground control, so deliverables are measurable and survey-grade where the project calls for it, with an accuracy report included.
Can you calculate stockpile or earthwork volumes?
Yes. From the surface model we compute cut/fill and stockpile volumes, and we can repeat flights to track change over time.
Which islands do you fly?
Every Hawaiian island. We are based in Hilo and mobilize statewide.
