CUSTOM DRONE SOLUTIONS
RTK
(CIVIL & MINING INDUSTRIES)
Custom Drone Solutions offers high-precision RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) drone technology for the civil and mining industries, delivering superior accuracy and efficiency in surveying, mapping, and site analysis. RTK-enabled drones use real-time GPS correction data to achieve centimeter-level accuracy, making them ideal for applications such as land development, infrastructure planning, and mining exploration. Unlike traditional GPS systems, which can have positional errors of several meters, RTK technology ensures highly precise geospatial data, reducing the need for time-consuming ground control points.
In the civil industry, RTK drones streamline construction planning, site inspections, and progress tracking. Engineers and surveyors can capture real-time, high-resolution topographic data for roadworks, urban planning, and large-scale infrastructure projects. The ability to generate precise 3D models and contour maps enhances decision-making and minimises costly errors. By eliminating manual surveying methods, RTK drones significantly reduce labor costs and improve project efficiency, ensuring that developments stay on schedule.
For the mining sector, RTK drones provide critical data for resource estimation, stockpile volume calculations, and pit analysis. Mining companies can monitor excavation sites, track equipment movements, and ensure compliance with safety regulations through highly accurate aerial surveys. RTK technology allows for rapid, repeatable data collection, reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency. By integrating RTK drones into daily operations, mining companies gain real-time insights that improve resource management, optimise workflows, and enhance overall site safety.
EMBRACE THE FUTURE
Drones equipped with RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology outperform traditional surveying and mapping methods in the civil and mining industries due to their speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Traditional ground-based surveying requires extensive setup, manual data collection, and multiple site visits, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. In contrast, RTK drones can capture high-precision geospatial data in a fraction of the time, significantly reducing project timelines and costs.
The accuracy of RTK drones is another key advantage. While traditional GPS-based surveys can have positional errors of several meters, RTK drones provide centimeter-level accuracy in real time. This eliminates the need for extensive ground control points (GCPs), reducing manual work and ensuring consistent, reliable data. The ability to generate precise topographic maps, 3D models, and volumetric measurements makes RTK drones a superior choice for civil engineering, construction, and mining operations.
Drones also enhance safety and accessibility in hazardous environments. In mining sites, unstable terrain and steep slopes pose significant risks to ground survey teams. RTK drones can easily map these areas from above without endangering personnel. Additionally, in large-scale civil projects, drones can cover expansive areas quickly, providing real-time updates without disrupting ongoing work. By offering fast, accurate, and cost-effective solutions, RTK drones have become an essential tool for modern surveying and mapping.
