Specialist Divisions

Five Disciplines. One Subsurface-to-Sky Survey Chain.

Every division runs the same instrumentation standard, the same flight-safety governance and the same GIS-ready data handover — so multi-discipline schemes stay coordinate-consistent from first flight to final deliverable.

Featured Case Studies

Evidence From Live Corridors and Remote Terrain

Case 01 · United Kingdom Aerial view of peat moorland crossed by a transmission line corridor

Peat Depth & Utility Corridor Survey

Fifty kilometres of drone-mounted ground penetrating radar measured peat depth over bedrock along an active transmission route — quantifying peat volume, locating the utility corridor and confirming competent strata for pylon foundation design, while producing the baseline used to guide restoration works.

Landscape-Scale Spatial Mapping

More than two thousand hectares of LiDAR, RGB and thermal imaging flown over exposed, wind-limited terrain — delivering a single co-registered spatial baseline for habitat condition, hydrology and asset clearance across a remote northern site.

Research & Collaboration

In Partnership With the University of Bristol

A formal memorandum of understanding puts advanced academic payloads into operational flight: Bristol provides the specialised drone-mounted radiological sensor programme, StrataVance operates the missions, and academic analysis validates every reading before it reaches a client.

Academic research partnership

“Enterprise geospatial delivery backed by academic data validation — so Tier-1 clients receive interpretation they can defend in front of a regulator.”
