Commercial Drone Services
Welcome to Victorian UAS, your trusted partner for professional drone mapping, inspection, and water sampling services across Australia. Our expert team is dedicated to delivering high quality data, utilizing a variety of custom multi-rotor and powered lift platforms. Whether you need precise mapping or stunning aerial visuals, we tailor our services to your unique requirements. Experience the difference with Victorian UAS.
Drone Mapping
Mapping is Victorian UAS's bread and butter, we have a load of experience in various mapping outputs that compliment different goals and applications working in a variety of industries. For example, our Geo-referenced 3D digital terrain models can enable industries to view their operations as an entirety and implement planning and decision-making based around this model.
You can almost guarantee that the first question we'll ask is, what is your primary goal that we are trying to achieve? Everything we do is based around that goal, from there we can select an appropriate RPA platform, either multi-rotor or fixed-wing along with a suitable software application.
We are capable of mapping anything from a backyard sized area where generally a multi-rotor is better suited right up to 10 km2 (1000 hectares) per day with our Vert Powered Lift platform designed for large area mapping and surveying. Resolution can be tailored specifically to your requirements, however, we are capable of delivering sub-centimeter per-pixel resolution.
Below are some of our regular outputs for industry:
Digitial Surface Model (DSM)
3D model of the earths surface, which includes linear features of the surface such as trees, scrub and man-made structures.
Orthomosaic
Overlapped and stitched individual images to create one image that is geometrically corrected and provides an accurate representation of the Earth's surface.
Point Cloud
A number of tie points taken from a number of still images to form the basis of a 3 dimensional model. These are also used to generate orthromosaics, contour lines and triangular meshes.
Volumetrics
Through the creation of a DSM we can manipulate the data to provide accurate measurements of volumes. For example, to measure the volumes of stockpiles or landfill.
Digitial Terrain Model (DTM)
The same as a DSM although it normalises the surfaces and usually gives a smooth bare ground terrain model.
Contour Lines
A 3D model that also includes contours line which indicate elevation. The closer the lines the steeper the elevation (the contour line intervals can be set to various values ie. 5m).
Triangular Meshes
A type of polygon mesh where lines are draw between points within the point cloud to form 3 dimensional objects with smooth surfaces. These meshes are commonly used for 3D modelling, architectural concepts and virtual environment design along with generating DTM & DSM.
Drone Inspection
VUAS is your one stop shop for all your aerial inspection needs. We are fully certified, insured and prepared to mobilise quickly to undertake industrial grade inspections. Aerial drone inspections are not only lower cost & a safer approach to conventional methods of imaging but they also allow you to make periodic comparisons of asset and infrastructure condition over time.
We have previously inspected telecommunication towers, water tanks, flare stacks, quarries and solar panel inspection among others. Our dedicated multi-rotor inspection platform holds a compact 20 megapixel DLSR which is capable of 4K video capture and high resolution image capture that is able pick up small writing on the back of a light post.
We are commonly inspecting for rust, cracks or fractures, structural integrity and material condition. If it's in the air chances are we can inspect it for you. If you have specific questions regarding what you need inspected, get in contact with us, we'll be sure to help you out.
Drone Photography/Videography
At VUAS, we empower our clients to select what they need and, equally important, what they don’t. That's why we provide a foundational imagery service with a range of processing options that clients can customize to suit their requirements. You can choose to have a fully finished product managed by us from start to finish, or we can simply hand you the memory card at the end of the shoot, allowing you to edit your imagery with professionals of your choice.
Our diverse airborne platforms offer unparalleled flexibility and value compared to traditional boom cameras and operators. Capable of operating in various conditions with wind resistance of up 30 km per hour, our commercial platforms capture the shots you desire at the resolution you need.
Share your needs with us, and we’ll provide the solution!
Drone Water Sampling
Whether it's offshore or inland, Victorian UAS offer a full suite of water sampling services.
The advantage of water sampling from a UAV over traditional methods include:
-
An increase in safety, no need to put people at risk on rock ledges and in surf zones.
-
An increase in speed, collect a sample from up to 500m away in less than 10 minutes.
-
An increased ability to access previously non-accessible areas.
Accurate repeatability, because a drone can set a location outside of the tidal zone samples can be gathered repeatedly from the same GPS location +/- 5m making time series monitoring easier and more accurate.
Our custom built water sampling aircraft can sample in a broad range of conditions including swell heights of up to 3m and can operate up to 500m from the take-off point. In good conditions up to 30 samples can be collected in one day.
Our payload can sample up to 1000ml of water in a single dip satisfying the needs of most standard lab tests including, nutrient levels, PH, E. Coli and algae load.
The flexibility of this system makes it ideal for both routine compliance sampling and urgent one off sampling.
