This service offers terrain studies or monitoring of transitory phenomena on demand.

It has a software license and qualified personnel to generate derived products such as:

  • Photogrametric studies,
  • Recording with multispectral cameras,
  • Editing and video editing, and
  • Large-area studies (fixed-wing drone)

Available provisions

Description

The STA/SORT (Aerial Work Service/Remote Earth Observation Service) offers drone/RPA/UAV flights by geologists and technicians specialized in earth sciences, to obtain various products such as:

  • Aerial photography
  • Photogrammetry
  • RGB and thermal video
  • Taking of control points on the ground
  •  Inspection and sampling (liquid) in areas of complex access.
  • Photography and filming of video documentation of different processes.

We prepare flights and generate flight plans (including permits), post-processing of collected information (obtaining 3D models, GIS treatment, point clouds, etc.), video and photo editing, generation of GIS with the information collected in the field, publication and dissemination in networks, etc.

Conditions of service

Different templates have been generated with different options for the development of the work. The factors that will determine the final cost are:

  • Personnel: defined by the hours necessary for the complete development of the work. The work will be carried out by a senior and/or mid-level technician or by a researcher, in terms of flight preparation and permit application (depending on the complexity of the flight, plus the preparation of a flight plan of the flight area and its restrictions, the times vary between 4 and 20 hours, estimating an average of 6 hours). Field work hours are also considered, generally two people (exceptionally only one person), a pilot and a ground support personnel. Finally, post-processing time is computed, which can be between 2 and 20 hours depending on the product to be obtained and its level of processing (image orthomosaics, GIS, point cloud processing, video and photo editing, etc.), with an estimated average of 8 hours.
  • Equipment used: Both the different RPAs and the RTK GPS for taking ground control points, work stations, etc. involve cost variations, due to their technical characteristics and sensors, normally associated with their acquisition price and therefore their amortization.
  •  Travel: cost depending on travel, food and lodging.

A series of typical jobs have been designed, as they are the most demanded and common ones:
- Drone: DJI Mini2. Video, photogrammetry and / or photo
- Drone: eBeeX. Photogrammetry and/or photogrammetry

- Drone: DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Taking ground control points and photogrammetry, 2 field days, 1 person and total displacement over 1500 km.
- Drone: DJI Phantom 4 Pro. Taking of ground control points and photogrammetry, 2 field days, 2 people and total displacement over 1500 km.
- Drone: Mavic2E Advanced. Video, thermal photogrammetry and/or photogrammetry.
- Drone: Mavic2E Dual. Video, thermal photogrammetry and / or photo
- Drone: Mavic2 Pro. Taking ground control points, video, photogrammetry and/or photo.
- Drone: Mavic Air2. Realization of video, photogrammetry and/or photo.
