Ayres Professional Land Surveyor
Consider a project involving a topographic survey of 200 acres of land . As land surveyor Joey Fuller explains ,
“ You have the ability to provide a traditional ‘ boots on the ground ’ survey , which may take weeks to perform based on terrain , or you can approach the same project with a UAS platform and gather field evidence much more quickly but take longer on the back end to process the data and quality-control it . We have the equipment to execute the work both ways , but what ’ s most important is that we have the experience and personnel to know when to use one approach over another .”
“ A lot of the people relying on our survey work don ’ t necessarily care about the technology of it so , for us , it ’ s about being able to identify the clients ’ needs and giving them the right product to get them where they need to be ,” Fuller said . “ Client satisfaction is our ultimate goal .”
