UDM Group specialise in low level, high accuracy, high-resolution imagery suitable for engineering design, volumetric computations and orthometric imagery to assist in exploration, flood studies and general project planning. 

Through the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), we offer the latest technology and efficient, responsive solutions regardless of the geographical location or terrain. This provides our clients with a cost-effective mapping solution and/or aerial inspections, particularly where safety or cultural sensitivities mean access to the site is limited. 

Along with our two multi-rotor systems we use for aerial imagery and inspections, UDM Group have recently taken delivery of the first VTOL (Vertical take-off/landing) drone in Tasmania. The Foxtech Nimbus VTOL V2 fixed wing plane can take off, hover and land vertically like a multi-rotor system which enables ease of access. Along with this function is has a single flight time of over 90 minutes and a range of 10km if required. Perfect for Pipeline and road corridor mapping.

Benefits of Using UAVs

There are significant advantages for using UAVs including:

  • Cost effective alternative to traditional aerial photography

  • Higher resolution alternative to satellite imagery

  • Fast deployment for on-demand data collection and inspection

  • Accurate measurement of stockpiles, waste and subsidence

  • Safe collection of data/images of inaccessible infrastructure

  • No personnel are placed in hazardous areas
