Challenge 6: Pre-Construction Survey for Legal & Design Verification

Rekon’s drone helped DirtPro protect itself from future disputes by performing a pre-construction drone survey to capture accurate topography. It gave them legal footing and aligned all stakeholders before site work began.

The Problem

Before beginning site work, the client needed a highly accurate snapshot of the topography to protect against litigation and validate construction progress. Without this baseline, they risked disputes over design changes and liability during multi-entity projects.

The Rekon Solution

We deployed drone-based photogrammetry to capture a detailed, pre-construction model of the site. By combining ground control with high-resolution aerial imagery, we created a clear topographic record. We, then, delivered it in multiple formats for easy access, measurement, and 3D viewing.

Understanding the Site First

The site was open and clear of dense vegetation, making it well-suited for photogrammetry. We confirmed the conditions were ideal for visual capture and accurate surface modeling.

Fast and Reliable Field Execution

  • Conducted a detailed ground control survey
  • Planned and flew a high-resolution photogrammetry mission
  • Captured full-site surface data before construction began
  • Processed deliverables with design alignment in mind

Deliverables That Protected the Project

  • Raw data (LAZ, DEM, DSM, contours, orthophotos)
  • Online Propeller access for visual comparison
  • Baseline data usable by in-house surveyor and ops team

The Long-Term Impact

  • [✓] Protected client from scope creep disputes
  • [✓] Enabled proof of work aligned with design drawings
  • [✓] Streamlined survey process for in-house team
  • [✓] Reduced software and hardware dependency with online tools
  • [✓] Received strong feedback from in-house surveyor on accuracy and usability
