Elevating Precision: Aerial Insights’ Drone Survey at Taunton School

At Aerial Insights, we’re committed to delivering cutting-edge aerial data solutions to our clients, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in every project. Recently, we had the opportunity to work with Taunton School, providing a comprehensive drone survey that helped streamline their development process.

Project Overview

Taunton School, a leading and prestige school in Somerset, was planning its maintenance and renovations schedule and required detailed information to enable key decisions to be made. They needed a solution that would not only capture the layout of the expansive grounds but also ensure minimal disruption to ongoing school activities.
That’s where Aerial Insights came in. Our drone technology and information processes allowed us to capture high-resolution imagery and accurate data without interfering with the school’s daily operations.

‘Taunton School engaged Aerial Insights to provide imagery of several buildings on the campus, ahead of planned works to roofs and other high level elements.

The service was excellent, with detailed, easy to follow communications from initial engagement, agreement of the brief through to delivery and demonstration of the results. The images generated will prove invaluable in planning and scoping these and future works and we will definitely be using this service again on future projects.’

The Drone Survey Process

Using our state-of-the-art drones equipped with high-definition cameras and LiDAR technology, we were able to survey the required building and infrastructure efficiently. Our team mapped out key areas of interest, providing Taunton School with detailed aerial views and more importantly the ability to examine their own site in a 3D ‘digital twin’ and make their own measurements i.e. lengths, heights, widths, surface area, cut and fill volumes. Traditional surveying methods would have taken far longer to achieve and would not have been able to capture the full details of those areas with no access.

The benefit of using drones was twofold: we were able to cover large areas quickly while delivering precise data that allowed for better decision-making throughout the renovation project. Moreover, our non-invasive methods ensured that school activities remained uninterrupted, and health and safety was maintained throughout the process.
