Drones have changed how professionals collect topographic data.

Brenkert Drone Services uses GPS enabled drones to generate photogrammetric point clouds and terrain models. This 3D data can then be used for elevation mapping (Digital Surface Models and Digital Terrain Models), volumetric measuring, technical inspections, building information modeling (BIM), and more!

Point clouds with high resolution textures are also used to create realistic 3D models. Our 3D Models allow you to see an exact representation of your property, location of interest, building or other subject.

Save time and money with quick turn around times!

With 3D models, you can increase the prescision and control over your projects, visualize different scenarios and reduce the lead times on your projects!
