UK Quarry Surveys 2024: Drone Technology and Data Processing

Posted on June 24, 2024June 24, 2024 by mackasurveys

In the first quarter of 2024 we successfully surveyed 838 acres (339ha) of active quarry estates in the UK. That is equivalent to 524 football pitches!

Quarries in the winter months are notoriously hazardous to survey by conventional ground methods. The use of UAV technology, in this case a fixed wing RTK EbeeX drone by AgEagle, yielded an average ground resolution of 21mm.

The processed data allowed the production of 3D colour rendered point clouds, contouring, void volumes, isopachyte contours and ortho-rectified images of each quarry site.

Coastal Erosion Remediation Surveys with Laser Scanning | McKenzie Geospatial Surveys

Posted on June 20, 2024June 20, 2024 by mackasurveys

Infrastructure remediation design was required as a result of coastal erosion on this site located on the South coast of the UK. There was a limited window of time to conduct the measured survey at beach level during low tide, which was overcome by the use of laser scanning equipment. On this occasion a Trimble X7 scanner for speed and easy registration of multiple scans, along with the use of virtual reference station RTK GPS technology (Trimble VRS and an R12i receiver) . This enabled fast and accurate delivery of our clients requirements to provide 2D elevations and topographic survey plans. However the 3D colour point cloud deliverable offered potential for a vast number of dimensional and 3D vector information, directly into the hands of the design engineers in addition to the survey specification.

New improved GPS measurement

Posted on November 18, 2022November 24, 2022 by mackasurveys

Since adding the Trimble R12i GPS to our tool box in November 2021 we have seen an increased field work productivity with the benefit of improved survey accuracy for GPS class surveys to our customers. Measurement is computed at the detail pole tip and removes the need for bubble centring or a vertical pole.

NEW Trimble TIP Tilt Compensation Technology benefits:
IMU-based tilt compensation
Reach hard to access points
Stay out of harm’s way
Built-in automatic integrity monitoring
Watch the pole tip not the bubble.

UAV (drone) Survey Royal Montenegro Golf Course Construction

Posted on March 22, 2017November 7, 2024 by mackasurveys

McKenzie Geospatial Surveys first utilised Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology for mapping purposes in 2012. By 2013 we were conducting an aerial survey to assist the Boka Group with their golf course construction planning and visualisation needs for the Montenegrin royal family on the Balkan peninsula. An area of 270 hectares comprising of challenging terrain was mapped in the valley between Tivat international airport and a mountainous ridge adjacent to the picturesque resort of Kotor.
