Are you looking for faster, safer and highly accurate site data without the need for extensive ground access?

Drone surveys can reduce time on site, minimise disruption and provide comprehensive coverage, but accuracy depends on the right equipment, control points and experienced processing.

At Merrett Survey, we use high-spec UAV systems to deliver precise aerial mapping, 3D models and topographical data - even in hard-to-reach or hazardous locations.

If your project demands reliable aerial data with efficiency and precision, our UAV survey team is ready to support you.

Flood risk is something no project manager can afford to overlook.

From planning applications to environmental assessments and flood defence design, having accurate floodplain and river survey data is essential. It helps engineers understand water flow, terrain levels and potential risk areas, before costly issues arise.

In our latest blog, we explain what floodplain and river surveys involve, the technology used (including LiDAR and GPS), and why detailed cross sections and terrain models are so important for modelling and mitigation planning.

If your project involves rivers, development near watercourses or flood risk assessments, this is a must-read.

BIM Modelling For Redruth Brewery 🏭

In order to aid in the restoration, Merrett Survey were commissioned to conduct a measured building survey on the brewery buildings and surrounding land and to provide a BIM model to aid with converting the building into an archive and history resource centre.

This project also required a vertical analysis of the historic chimneys and walls on the site. The BIM model was used to develop the redesign and retrofit work on the site and served as the basis for working drawings.
