Making The Most Of Garden FeaturesMaking the Most of Garden Features

The surveying of riparian land presents a host of challenges. Not only are some boundaries difficult to define, but the nearby body of water may also cause accuracy, safety and efficiency to become harder to achieve. However, many landowners near riparian areas would still wish to know their exact boundaries—information that can only be provided through an accurate and reliable land surveying process.

As opposed to using manual techniques, drones allow land surveyors to deliver quality information regarding the area in question. If you own riparian land, here are 4 benefits of hiring a land surveyor who uses drones for such projects.

1. Increase safety on the work site

Drones are automated aerial vehicles that can be programmed to collect data even on potentially dangerous sites. If your land sits next to a deep body of water, a drone comes in handy to get the job done with minimal risks. Drones can be used to map out target areas during the survey. These machines can also take high-quality images, record coordinates and compare different measurements on and off the property in question.

All this data can be gathered without exposing a single surveyor to the boundaries of strong water currents.

2. More efficient transmission of data

The surveying of riparian land doesn't stop with data collection. This data also needs to be transmitted to different collection points in a timely manner. In fact, the faster such data can be relayed, the more efficient the surveying process will be. Drones make data transmission easier, and transmission can even be done in real time.

As opposed to having the surveying team collect data, store it and transfer it once they get back to their offices, drones allow for the almost immediate transmission of data as soon as it's recorded. This results in a faster surveying process and cost savings on your end.

3. Increased accessibility

When surveying riparian land, the challenge of accessibility already exists. This challenge is further amplified when the land has undergone flooding or is experiencing strong currents and inclement weather. Drones are capable of accessing previously unreachable areas and collecting data in a timely manner.

4. Higher resolution images of the area being surveyed

Another unique benefit of drone surveying is that the machine can take high-resolution images of the area in question. Drones are capable of flying very close to the ground and capturing quality images that are also highly accurate. This data can then be used to resolve disputed boundaries and to plan for accurate construction projects.
