Drone Survey & Aerial Mapping Services in the UAE
TerraMetrix provides professional drone survey and aerial mapping services in the UAE, delivering engineering-grade UAV land surveys for developers, consultants, contractors, and government entities. Using RTK/PPK-enabled drones, LiDAR, and photogrammetry, we capture high-accuracy geospatial data for land parcels, brownfield sites, infrastructure corridors, and complex terrain at scale.
Our drone surveys are designed to replace or augment traditional land surveying, providing faster coverage, full-surface data capture, and centimeter-level accuracy suitable for masterplanning, earthworks, infrastructure design, construction monitoring, and authority submissions. All deliverables are generated to align with consultant workflows, regulatory expectations, and professional engineering standards across the UAE.

What We Survey
TerraMetrix conducts drone land surveys and aerial mapping services across diverse terrain types:
Empty Land & Undeveloped Parcels
For feasibility, acquisition, and planning
Brownfield & Desert Land
Requiring terrain reconstruction or redevelopment
Masterplan Parcels
Large-scale development zones
Infrastructure Corridors
Roads, highways, rail alignments, and utility corridors
Industrial Sites
Logistics yards and quarry zones
Complex Terrain
Coastal areas, wadis, escarpments, and mountainous terrain
Residential Properties
Villas, residential compounds, and low-rise properties
Each survey is structured to match the intended downstream use, whether design, grading, compliance, or monitoring.

Accuracy, Technology, and Survey Standards
TerraMetrix drone surveys are executed using:
RTK/PPK GNSS Positioning
Real-time kinematic and post-processed kinematic positioning for maximum accuracy
Ground Control Points
GCPs deployed where required for enhanced precision
IMU-Stabilized Payloads
Inertial measurement units for stable data capture
LiDAR & Photogrammetry Fusion
Combined workflows for comprehensive terrain mapping
This ensures centimeter-level horizontal and vertical accuracy, suitable for engineering design, earthworks, and infrastructure planning.

Survey methodologies align with:
  • UAE municipal and planning authority expectations
  • Engineering consultant standards
  • Infrastructure and transportation project requirements
Drone Survey vs Traditional Land Surveying
Drone surveying provides measurable advantages over conventional ground methods:
Faster site coverage for large or remote areas
Reduced field time and manpower requirements
Safer data capture in hazardous or inaccessible terrain
Repeatable surveys for progress tracking and monitoring
Full-surface data capture rather than point-based sampling
For large parcels, corridors, and complex terrain, UAV surveying delivers higher value per square meter.
