Harrier Aerial Surveys
A fully licensed commercial unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing service provider
With our expertise in high-precision surveying, GIS, and remote sensing we offer accurate aerial imagery, digital elevation models and 3D measurements and calculations. Easily mobilized, data capture is performed quickly, accurately and at close proximity to the target while keeping operators and personnel out of harm’s way.
What We Do
Aerial Imagery
Harrier Aerial Surveys specializes in aerial imagery taken from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) commonly called drones.
High-resolution ortho-mosaics and oblique imagery lend a new perspective to your operation.
Nadir or straight down photographs allow us to stitch multiple images together to form one high-resolution ortho-mosaic of the target.
We capture oblique imagery when clients need visual inspections or vertical surface construction.
Mapping/GIS
Harrier Aerial Surveys has experience working with both GIS specialists needing raw data and industry professionals needing full geospatial solutions.
We provide the end results you need without the intermediate processing. We output prints, digital assets and a 3D data viewer.
We also perform geometric calculations including volume calculations, linear distancing, area calculations, change detections and topographic analytics.
Inspections
Harrier Aerial Surveys uses our multi-rotor UAV to get much closer to targets that are difficult or unsafe to get to in person.
Our Multi-rotor aircraft offers a stable platform for first person view of the object being inspected. This offers the best vantage point for visual inspections of hard to reach places.
Setup time is faster than traditional methods and inspections can be completed without the need for costly operation shut downs.
Our Difference
When one of the largest and most modern single line kraft pulp mills in North America needed more accurate volume calculations, they chose Harrier Aerial Surveys.
We were able to drastically improve the accuracy of inventory calculations while also improving safety and efficiency. Call us today to see what we can do for your business.
Our Difference
Harrier Aerial Surveys is fully covered with liability insurance and is certified by Transport Canada.
