Survey-Grade Photogrammetry by SkyFleet Solutions

What Is Photogrammetry?

Photogrammetry is the process of using high-resolution aerial images taken from drones to create 3D models, topographic surfaces, and orthophotos. By capturing hundreds or thousands of overlapping photos and processing them with advanced software and ground control, photogrammetry turns imagery into survey-grade spatial data.

This allows entire sites to be measured, modeled, and mapped digitally often faster, safer, and more cost-effective than traditional field methods.

What Makes SkyFleet Different

Most drone companies deliver photos or basic point clouds. SkyFleet delivers engineered photogrammetry.

We operate with a dedicated photogrammetrist on our team who oversees every dataset from processing through final QA/QC. This ensures every surface, orthophoto, and 3D model meets the standards required for professional engineering and surveying use.

Every project is processed, reviewed, and refined not just run through software and exported.

Hundredth-Level Accuracy

SkyFleet uses survey-grade ground control, precise GNSS positioning, and strict quality control to produce photogrammetry accurate to the hundredths of a foot horizontally and vertically.

This level of accuracy allows:

• Reliable spot elevations

• True breaklines

• Accurate volumes and cut/fill

• Confident design and staking

Our models can be used the same way you would use traditional survey data without sending large crews into the field.

CAD-Ready, Manageable Surfaces

We deliver clean, manageable CAD surfaces that drop straight into:

• Civil 3D

• MicroStation

• OpenRoads

Instead of oversized point clouds, we provide:

• TIN surfaces

• Breaklines

• Contours

• Structured files ready for engineering use

We customize surfaces based on how your team designs, not just what software exports.

Aerial Imaging You Can Design On

SkyFleet’s orthophotos are processed and controlled to the same accuracy as the surfaces. The imagery is so precise that engineers can trace linework directly over the aerial inside CAD.

This allows teams to confidently map:

• Pavement edges

• Curbs

• Utilities

• Buildings

• Drainage features

All from a single, accurate aerial layer.

Custom Workflows & Deliverables

No two engineering firms work the same way. That’s why SkyFleet customizes every deliverable.

We tailor:

• File formats

• Coordinate systems

• Surfaces and layers

• Naming conventions

• CAD structure

to match how your team already works. This eliminates rework, speeds up production, and lets your designers start immediately.
