Technology 

Danny has been working with high accuracy RTK GPS combined with commercial drones to produce 3D models of dam sites, mine sites, tailing ponds and aggregate sites for volume calculations. We utilize several types of drones including two aerial platforms;  fixed wing, rotary wing machines and a small catamaran boat with a high accuracy depth finder for bathymetric surveys. We combine our RTK GPS into our drone surveys to create high accuracy 3D models, digital elevation models and contour maps.
