Drone Survey & Digital Twin
KA Engineering Group 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.
Why Choose KA Engineering Group?
- Qualified engineers with CAA-recognised drone pilot training (A2 CofC / GVC).
- Enterprise-grade drone systems for survey accuracy
- Integrated engineering insight — interpretation by practising structural engineers, not just drone pilots.
- Safe, efficient, and fully insured operations under the UK CAA Operational Authorisation framework.
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.
