The biggest risk is what you can't see
The work is changing. Designs are more complex, tolerances tighter, and clients increasingly want hard evidence. At the same time margins are thin and skilled people are scarce. That makes one thing more important than ever: a current, objective picture of what is happening on your project.
Keeping the whole picture is hard
How much material is actually there, does what's built match the design, and are we still on schedule? On a busy site, keeping an objective answer to hand at all times is difficult.
Deviations show up too late
Margins in civils are thin. A level that is slightly out or a cross section that doesn't match can go unnoticed for weeks, and putting it right afterwards costs 5 to 10% of a project.
More detail, fewer people
Clients want precise work and detailed evidence while skilled staff are hard to find. Translating a complex design into the right result on the ground has to be right first time, and done efficiently.
Want to know what is happening on your project right now? That is exactly what AiroMap was built for.
One drone, one platform, your whole site in 3D
AiroMap is a complete survey system for civils and infrastructure: a drone that flies itself, paired with a straightforward online platform for accurate 3D measurement. The drone covers several hectares in ten minutes without a pilot. In the platform you then measure whatever you need, from levels and volumes to the cut and fill balance, and share it with your team through reports generated automatically.
Powered by the AiroMap platform
Lay your DXF design over what is actually built and see where it deviates.
What the platform gives you
Accurate 3D model with true levels
A complete 3D model on your national height datum, the basis for cut and fill, scheduling and setting out.
Straightforward online platform
Simple to use. Share the whole 3D project with a link, or generate a PDF or Excel report from it for colleagues and clients.
Advanced measurement tools
Cut and fill balance, stockpile volumes, cross sections, coordinates, DXF linework and more.
Exports into your workflow
Export as DXF, LandXML, GeoTIFF, LAS or CSV into Autodesk, QGIS and other packages, or send data straight to your 3D machine control.
From baseline survey to handover, on the same data
With AiroMap you have current 3D data at every stage of the job, from the baseline survey to handover. The result is a complete digital record of the whole project.
Baseline survey
Start with a 3D baseline survey of the site: levels on your height datum, relief and distances. The digital basis for everything that follows.
Design & setting out
Use the baseline survey in CAD and push the design out to your RTK rover or machine control. Everything ties together.
Progress & payment
Periodic flights show exactly how much has been built. Invoice on hard numbers and correct course early where it drifts.
Handover & as-built
Compare design against as-built in one click, hand over as-built data and give the client a complete digital archive.
From a current picture to healthier margins
A current picture of the job is not an end in itself. It translates directly into lower costs, faster payment and less risk.
Less rework, more margin
Errors and deviations surface during construction, so you correct them in time instead of paying for rework later.
Invoice on evidence
Bill on the quantities actually moved and the work actually done, backed by hard data. Paid faster, with no argument over quantities.
Stay on top of the job from the office
Regular flights show how much has been moved and how close you are to design. Office and site work from the same current picture.
Evidence and an archive for later
Hand over as-built proof that you delivered what was agreed. And years later the digital archive still settles it: how was that pipe actually laid?
A complete system that stays in your hands
AiroMap is not a drone on its own, and not a complicated software package. It is a complete system your own people use whenever it is needed. That is what makes the return add up.
No outside firm needed
You survey everything yourself, without commissioning an outside firm. That saves money on every job.
Easy to use
No survey background or drone experience needed. With on-site training, anyone on your team is surveying independently within half a day.
Fully automated
The drone does all the flying. After it lands, your 3D model appears in the platform on its own.
In your own time
Nobody else's calendar to work around. You survey the moment you need to.
Works alongside your RTK rover
AiroMap and your RTK GNSS rover work seamlessly together.
One platform, unlimited users
Everything in one online environment, with no complicated software or extra licences. Everyone on the team can view models, measure and produce reports.
One fixed monthly fee and unlimited surveying within your budget: the more often you fly, the lower the cost per survey.
Everything in one package, operational within half a day
One package gives you everything you need: drone, software, training and all the paperwork around it. The drone flies entirely on its own, and with our on-site training your team is surveying independently within four hours, with no survey background and no drone experience.
And the surveying itself is fully automated, in three steps:
Haru surveys weekly for volumes and progress
Haru, an earthworks and infrastructure contractor, runs AiroMap across its projects. What started as a trial is now something they wouldn't be without.
BelgiumHaru flies AiroMap over its earthworks projects every week. The drone covers the site on its own and calculates exactly how much material has been moved. That means Haru works from hard numbers instead of estimates and can follow progress on every job.
- Exact volumes as hard numbers, with no more arguments over quantities
- Weekly flights for a continuous view of progress
- A record of how the work was carried out, as evidence later on
“We started with the drone as a trial, and now we wouldn't be without it. With AiroMap's surveys we know exactly where we stand.”
