Aerial Surveying

Aorangi Aerials provides fast, accurate, and cost-effective aerial surveying solutions using the latest drone and geospatial technology. Whether you're planning earthworks, managing land development, or tracking environmental changes, we deliver precise data to support confident decision-making.

We operate both LiDAR and photogrammetry survey workflows - utilising the DJI Matrice 300 RTK with the Zenmuse L1 LiDAR module for high-precision 3D mapping, and the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK for rapid and efficient orthomosaic generation. Our survey operations are enhanced by access to local RTK correction services and validated by ground control checkpoints measured with our fleet of EMLID RS2 GNSS rovers and base stations.

Key Equipment:
