Forestry maintenance and inspection

"After storm Arwen hit the Scottish borders, and caused sever wind blow damage to our forestry blocks we contacted Iprosurv to gather the data required for felling permissions and re planting plans, as well as the need to reduce the risk to personnel from falling trees. We planned a date for the information to be gathered on 80 hectares of wind blown forestry the data was delivered within 48 hrs and compatible with GIS software, we will definitely be using Iprosurv in the future and also in other areas of our business as well as wind blow damage where consultation with Iprosurv highlighted other areas where drone technology would bring huge benefits,, we never realised drones could gather so much data." – Estates Manger

Forestry is big businesses in the UK, with it becoming increasingly important in the reduction of carbon emissions forestry blocks need to be maintained and monitored to ensure maximum health and growth.

Managing these forestry blocks can be a time consuming task needing to access each block to measure growth and health of the trees, drone technology has become ever more popular due to sensor technology and software integration, taken properly the data can be integrated into most GIS platforms and also bespoke management software such as Senteras range of sensors and software, produce accurate data on demand.

Monitoring Forestry

Using state of the art drone sensors with RGB and NDVI technology we are able to set up a management plan from planting, to constant monitoring firstly with drone technology and then as the crop develops with satellite imagery which can be accessed by the client whenever they require data.

Save Time, Cost and Increase Safety

One part of the process where costs and timescales can be significantly reduced is in the inspection and survey of the forestry blocks drones can cover an estimated 30 hectares in approximately 15 minutes, delivering high definition images and video.

Drones offer reductions in health and safety issues especially in wind blow situations where forests become extremely unstable and dangerous, personnel are able to utilise drone data to formulate access plans and clearance prior to attendance.

Our Technology Can:

Monitor forestry health and help with management
Save Time, Cost and Increase Safety
Produce vital data after wind blow events to ensure clearance plans can be implemented quickly
Produce Simple and Repeatable Results
Share One Data Set with Multiple Stakeholders
Inspect and report on wind blow events with results integrated into GIS software or Iprosurv's proprietary system.
