Aerial Mapping & Orthomosaics
We produce current georeferenced plan-view mapping that gives the project team a measurable visual record of the site.
A current measurable plan view of the site
We process overlapping aerial imagery into a georeferenced orthomosaic covering the mapped project area.
The result provides current plan-view site context for project review, records, measurements and use alongside compatible survey, CAD and GIS information.
Aerial Mapping & Orthomosaics is the output-led mapping service. Broader aerial survey commissions requiring terrain, quantities, point clouds or multiple survey outputs sit within Drone Surveying & Mapping.

Aerial Mapping & Orthomosaics FAQ
What is an orthomosaic?
An orthomosaic is a georeferenced image created from many overlapping aerial photographs that have been processed into a consistent plan view.
Can aerial mapping be overlaid with CAD?
Yes. Where coordinate systems are compatible, georeferenced mapping can be viewed alongside survey and design drawings.
Is aerial mapping the same as a topographical survey?
No. Aerial mapping is an image-based spatial product. It can form part of a wider topographical survey where the brief requires interpreted survey features, levels, terrain data or other deliverables.
