Surveying & Mapping Services Market Trend- Companies in the surveying and mapping services industry are using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones for faster and cost-efficient surveying. Instead of theodolites, infrared reflectors, and GPS, surveyors can now use drones that autonomously pilot with the push of a button. UAVs are an affordable alternative to field survey personnel, allowing companies to complete projects at a lower cost and with fewer staff. It also helps in capturing data that is more complete over the majority of a site thereby allowing onsite staff to focus on specific areas which may require on-the-ground detail acquisition. For instance, Meridian Surveying Engineering Inc., uses a drone which is managed by a certified pilot to quickly collect accurate site data.
