Our Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) services cater to a wide range of industries, including construction, renewables, environmental sectors, commercial real estate, and the marine sector. Whether you’re looking for detailed mapping and surveys, infrastructure and asset inspections, or creative aerial photography and video, our solutions can be tailored to meet the unique needs of your project, enhancing efficiency and safety across the board.

Drone-based mapping, surveying, and inspection services offer several advantages over traditional methods. They can significantly reduce the time required to gather data, minimise safety risks associated with accessing difficult or hazardous terrain, and provide higher-resolution data for more accurate analysis. For example, aerial topographic surveys can be completed in approximately 1/10th the time it would take using ground-based survey methods, with the added benefit of comprehensive area coverage and minimal environmental impact.

All our pilots and operators are highly skilled professionals with a minimum of a General Visual Line-of-sight Certificate (GVC). Additionally, our team holds internationally recognised remote-piloted aircraft systems certifications, ensuring compliance with the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s regulations for commercial unmanned aircraft operations. Our ISO9001:2015 certification and memberships with esteemed organisations like Constructionline, ARPAS-UK, and the Guild of Television Camera Professionals further support our dedication to professionalism.

Yes, our Operational Authorisation allows us to operate all our UAS in congested areas as long as our aircraft don’t pose a risk to uninvolved people. We can overfly congested areas with our larger UA as long as it is above 50m and we minimise any overflight of uninvolved people. We use advanced safety features such as Flight Termination / Parachute Recovery (FTS / PRS) systems when operating our Matrice series UAS in congested areas, significantly reducing the risk to people and property. Our smaller UAS can operate in congested areas with very few restriction on proximity or overflight, ideal for infrastructure inspections in town centres.

With over 40 years of experience in RPAS systems and a background in professional photography, videography, and surveying, we offer an unmatched level of expertise and quality in our services. Our long-standing history as the most experienced commercial UA operators in Shetland, combined with our extensive range of certifications and accreditations, positions us as leaders in the industry. Additionally, our commitment to safety, reliability, and innovation is exemplified by our advanced aircraft systems, in-house post-production suite, and our ability to provide comprehensive, customised solutions for each client’s specific needs.
