Proud moment: Andrew Scott used our aerial imagery of the completed Pontneddfechan Waterfalls Visitor Centre up on the big screens at their company forum — months after we delivered it. That's the real test of a good dataset: is it still good enough to put in front of the whole team later? 📸

Last week we took a trip to Midwich's HQ getting the full run-through of what's new from DJI Enterprise, as one of their approved drone distribution partners.

It's a good reminder of something we say to a lot of civil engineering and groundworks clients: buying a DJI Enterprise drone and actually getting usable survey or inspection data out of it are two different problems. We supply the full DJI Enterprise range, and just as importantly, GVC/A2 CofC/ bespoke training and workflow know-how to get the accuracy and reporting your project actually needs from it.

That's why buying from us is a good choice. Give us a call or drop us a message, we're happy to chat through what kit and training would work best for you.

You're doing brilliant construction work. But you're busy, and perhaps don't have the time or expertise to get good progress videos and images so you can show it off.

That's where we come in. For this project, we were getting drones to places that the other companies don’t reach...in north Cardiff documenting the new swimming pool build at Pentwyn Leisure Centre for our friends at Andrew Scott. The pool is now open, and our completion video is in the comments for you to see.

If we can help you with gathering imagery, whether at the start, end or all the way along a project, get in touch. We love what we do!

A too-flat or too-dark image can genuinely hide the thing someone's trying to assess.

That's why every image we send out gets checked and corrected before it reaches a client — accuracy first, not just polish.

Three metres underground, no GPS, a corridor barely wider than the drone itself — this week's tricky-places-to-fly moment. It's part of an interactive 360° condition survey that turns into a navigable inspection portal, so nobody has to squeeze down there twice.

28/08/2026

Some restoration projects need more than a good eye — they need a full 3D dataset architects can actually design around. At the Lower Swansea Valley Copperworks, Andrew Scott is restoring chimneys among the last of their kind still standing (the Musgrave Engine House on site is genuinely one-of-a-kind — BBC covered it).

The remains are significant enough they've shaped the whole redevelopment's design. Physical access to structures like this is tightly restricted, so we captured a full 3D survey of the chimneys and handed it straight to the restoration team — a model they could measure, section and plan repairs from without a single scaffold going up.

With a reputation for reliability, precision, and creativity, we ensure your project is presented at its absolute best. Whether you need regular updates or a one-off showcase, our team goes above and beyond to exceed expectations.
