Surveying & Construction

If you are involved in any type of land surveying using drone technology, there seems to be a good chance that you know about LiDAR drones and photogrammetry. But do you know what the differences, as well as what the similarities are, between these two technologies? In this blog, we cut through the confusion which often […]

Drones have the ability to transform a number of industries, but there is no better example of the benefits drones provide than the mapping and surveying industry. Today’s drones provide a cost-effective and time-efficient method for collecting accurate geomatics data. Whether this data is used to create topographic surveys or to carry out monitoring studies, […]

Drones have come a long way in the past five years or so. Once seen as a toy for the wealthy, today UAVs have the power to reinvent old businesses and create new ones. Whether it’s providing news coverage, helping the emergency services or inspecting sewage systems, drones are doing some pretty amazing things today. […]

Using drones to create 3D surveys of your land is an incredibly powerful tool to have. By simply flying your drone above the land, you are all of a sudden left with a highly in-depth 3D model of the terrain, allowing you to make incredibly accurate commercial decisions. Well, if you’re wondering how all of […]

Pix4D is the leading UAV photogrammetry software. It has been specifically designed for users who want to make 3D maps and point clouds from data captured from their drone. It’s one of the most popular software packages on the market, however, making full use of the platform is hard without a helping hand. That’s why […]

Construction is one of the sectors which has benefitted greatly from drone technology in recent years. Surveyors are able to get a birds-eye view of a site, feeding into construction planning, offering the opportunity to improve both accuracy and efficiency in the process. Inspections, health and safety, maintenance and marketing are other elements of construction […]

Drones are providing valuable work across many diverse industries today, with the aircraft found everywhere from the mine to the warehouse and even the battlefield. But one place where drones have proved to have the biggest impact is on the construction site. Drones have become as common on the construction site as the dump truck […]

Thinking of upgrading your current aircraft model to a WingtraOne Fixed Wing? Check out our Wingtra trade-in scheme and save up to £3,900 on a brand new drone. Murdoch University in Australia recently undertook a UAV solution evaluation due to their need to monitor endangered sea mammals. This evaluation led them to the WingtraOne VTOL. […]

COPTRZ recently had the opportunity to speak to Andrew Johnston, Director of Inspection at Innovair. Andrew has over 10 years of experience in the oil and gas industry and is a qualified UAV pilot. He specialises in advanced and remote inspection technology and programme & software development. Drones are becoming an increasingly popular tool used […]

As you might have already heard, COPTRZ is now proud to be partnering with LiDAR USA. They are one of the world’s premier LiDAR manufacturers and provide many of the leading sensors available for drones in 2018. So, if you’re looking to make use of the power of LiDAR drone sensors, then you’ve come to […]

The mining industry was one of the first industries to see the benefits of drone technology, with early UAVs being used to inspect hazardous conditions, reducing the risk of injury. But drone technology has moved on significantly over the past five years. Today’s drones are capable of much more than the simple collection of visual […]

This is the second part of a two-part series taking an in-depth look at the Matrice 200 Series. This part looks at a number of different payloads that can be used to enhance your data capturing capabilities. The series features the DJI Matrice 200, as well as the DJI Matrice 210 and M210 RTK. Described […]
