UAV Surveys & Aerial Inspections
MK Surveys’ CAA certified pilots are able to rapidly record accurate survey data safely and professionally using various UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) platforms, producing engineering grade deliverables.
Safety whilst undertaking any survey is our top priority and all UAV surveys are only undertaken once all risks on site have been assessed and mitigated.
Survey control is established on site for all UAV surveys, by GNSS and total station. This not only increases the accuray of the captured UAV data but also allows for additional surveying mothodologies to be utilised to enhance the deliverable should it be required with all survey data captured through the life cycle of a project combined to provide one complete deliverable to the client.
All survey deliverables are processed in house by our experienced surveyors, and the aerial data captured by our advanced aerial systems can be used to produce 2D and 3D topographical surveys and DTMs (Digital Terrain Models), building elevations and roof plans, 3D building models, immersive VR environments and visualisations, BIM and much more.
MK Surveys are undertaking extensive Surveying works at Heythrop Park Resort
The survey works include full Topographical Surveys of the estate along with Measured Building Surveys of all buildings.
We are using a variety of technologies to undertake the survey works including Mobile Mapping in the form of both UAV Surveys (MK Surveys are CAA licenced) and the Leica Pegasus:Two, Static and hand held laser scanning as well as traditional total station and GNSS works.
Heythrop Park is a Grade II listed early 18th-century country house designed by the architect Thomas Archer in the Baroque style for Charles Talbot, 1st Duke of Shrewsbury.

MK Surveys offer a new detection service: Concrete and wall scanning for avoidance of hidden objects
Using the latest in GPR technology we can offer concrete scanning to provide information for coring, drilling, as-built verification and load bearing capacity. This can be in the form of on-site mark out and 2D / 3D CAD drawings.
For more informatin please see our new website page: Concrete Scanning
