Drone Survey & Digital Twin Consultancy

KA-ENGROUP now offers a suite of drone-based inspection and digital twin services, designed to complement our structural engineering expertise. Using high-resolution aerial photogrammetry, we capture accurate 3D data of buildings, towers, and historic structures — enabling faster, safer, and more detailed assessments than traditional inspection methods.

Our Services

Structural & Conditional Surveys

High-definition imagery for roofs, façades, towers, and hard-to-reach details. Rapid defect identification - missing tiles, cracked masonry, vegetation growth, corrosion.

Digital Twin Creation

Generation of accurate 3D models from drone photogrammetry to track weathering or structural movement — Ideal for churches, heritage sites, telecom towers, and bridges

Roof & Asset Mapping

High-quality orthomosaic mapping providing clear, accurate visuals for maintenance planning and area measurement, easily integrating with CAD or GIS data

Re-inspection & Change Detection

Repeatable flight paths to enable effective quantitative comparison of future surveys. Supports long-term asset management and insurance documentation.
