Case  Study  Stratus  Imaging  –  Servicing  WA  Stratus  Imaging  can  provide  this  service  throughout  Western  Australia.  We  are  insured,  hold  a  CASA  operating  certificate  and  use  certified  drone  pilots.    We  have  the  capability  to  mobilise  within  a  week  (weather  depending)    

 Drone  Delivers  Quick  Results  for  Construction  Bid    Construction   sites   around   the   globe   are   discovering   the   rapid   insight   and  efficiency   that   drone   imagery   provides,   and   are   using   drones   for  monitoring  construction  progress,  keeping  track  of  equipment,  3D  modeling  and  stockpile  measurement  and  more.  

 Surveying  a  Proposed  Stadium  Site  A   construction   client   required   an   aerial   survey   of   a   potential   site   for   a   new  major   sporting   facility   that   would   be   used   in   the   construction   bid   and   site  selection  process.    In   addition   to   capturing   images   to   use   in   the   sales   models,   the   client   also  wanted   to   investigate   two   key   issues   with   the   potential   site.   There   were  hazardous   materials   on   site   and   in   order   to   estimate   costs,   they   wanted   to  calculate  the  volume  of  materials  that  would  need  to  be  removed.  Grading  was  also   a   potential   problem.   With   the   whole   area   below   drainage   level,   they  needed  to  know  how  much  material  would  need  to  be  brought  in  to  bring  the  site  up  to  grade.  

 Thoughtful  Preparation  Leads  to  a  Seamless  Workflow  On  the  day  of  the  project,  flight-­‐planning  information  was  programmed  into  the  UAV  including  altitude  and  overlaps.    Covering   the   78   acres   took   about   1   hour   and   15   minutes   and   required   two  battery  swaps.  The  Drone  flew  at  150  feet  and  captured  997  images.  In  order  to  ensure  accuracy  in  the  volume  measurements  of  the  piles,  the  Drone  used  80%  side  overlap  and  75%  front  overlap,  slightly  higher  than  usual.  

 Fast,  Efficient  Results  An   orthomosaic  map,   elevation  map,   3D  model   and   point   cloud   to   the   client  within  a  couple  of  days  representing  a  significant  cost  and  time  savings  for  the  client.
