We were thrilled to play a key part in this project, responsible for getting all the required geospatial data. We achieved this well within tolerance, using a combination of multi-sensor approaches and various survey methods to ensure pinpoint accuracy. This precise data was absolutely crucial for the seamless design and integration of the new gantry system.

🔧 Ongoing Works at the Trafford Centre 🔧 🦒 We're currently on site installing a replacement gantry system across the iconic dome at the Trafford Centre, Manchester. A complex and carefully engineered solution to maintain safe access across this high-profile structure. More to come once ...

Conducting a detailed survey of the viaduct today to assess its condition and inform crucial next steps. Our top-mounted gimbal is proving invaluable for capturing those hard-to-reach angles! The data collected will allow us to create a comprehensive digital twin, providing the client and stakeholders with a powerful tool for future planning and decision-making.

Another day, another fascinating project for the Sky Scan Surveys team! 🚁 We're currently on-site at Heysham Docks, conducting a detailed aerial survey of key installations.

Our drone technology allows us to capture data quickly and efficiently, providing comprehensive insights for infrastructure management and planning. From precise measurements and detailed visualisations to the creation of survey-grade point clouds, we're helping ensure the smooth operation and future development of this vital port.
