Drone Surveys & Aerial Mapping in Alberta
From farm fields near Barrhead to energy, construction, and development sites around Westlock, Whitecourt, and Athabasca, we turn aerial imagery into measurable, decision-ready data: topographic maps, 3D models, stockpile volumes, orthomosaics, and multispectral crop-health analysis you can act on.
Drone Survey Services & Deliverables
We serve agriculture, energy and oil & gas, construction, and environmental clients across central and northern Alberta. Our core drone survey services and deliverables include:
Topography surveys: Don Wilson Surveys Ltd. utilizes drones with high-resolution cameras and LiDAR sensors to capture detailed topographic data. These surveys provide accurate elevation models, contour maps, and 3D terrain representations crucial for various projects, from urban planning to land development.
Volume surveys: Drones swiftly calculate stockpile volumes with unparalleled accuracy, optimizing resource management in the mining, construction, and agriculture sectors. We employ advanced software to analyze drone-captured data, delivering precise volume measurements for informed decision-making.
Water boundary surveys: With drones, we outline water boundaries with exceptional detail, crucial for environmental monitoring, shoreline management, and regulatory compliance. High-resolution imagery enables precise mapping of water bodies, empowering stakeholders with accurate spatial data.
Facility inspection surveys: Drones navigate hard-to-reach areas, conducting comprehensive inspections of industrial facilities, pipelines, and infrastructure. We ensure structural integrity assessments, detect defects, and facilitate preventive maintenance, enhancing operational safety and efficiency.
Aerial photography: Stunning aerial imagery captured by drones offers unparalleled perspectives for marketing, real estate, and environmental monitoring purposes. Don Wilson Surveys Ltd. delivers captivating visuals showcasing landscapes, properties, and construction progress, leveraging drone technology for impactful storytelling.
Crop health analysis surveys (generating prescription maps): By integrating multispectral sensors, drones assess crop health and detect anomalies invisible to the naked eye. We provide farmers with actionable insights, generating prescription maps for targeted interventions and optimizing yield and resource utilization.
