Client Testimonials 3D LiDAR and Drone Surveys Through the utilisation of LiDAR technology, our clients have experienced precision and accuracy in their scanning projects. By harnessing the power of laser pulses, we capture high-resolution, three-dimensional data clouds with remarkable detail and resolution. This enables our clients to visualise and analyse their environments with clarity. This in turn helps them to make informed decisions to drive their projects forward with confidence. Testimonials from our clients "Commendium has shown adaptability, innovation, determination and skill in order to deliver our surveys on time and to budget."WARDELL ARMSTRONG - Technical Director “Commendium was able to address many issues for us during the installation of Pooley Bridge, which led to significant time saving and reduced cost.”ERIC WRIGHT CONSTRUCTION - Project Manager "Commendium's commitment and the quality of their models has contributed overwhelmingly to the success of our TV productions."UNDERWORLD - Series Producer "Commendium has taken sonar data and produced 3D models which have enabled our client to design remedial works to fix failing flood management systems and thereby save millions"THE WATER SERVICES GROUP - CEO “The blend of LiDAR surveys of underground pipes and GPR which Commendium provides, has enabled us to plan building works and mitigate risk with great precision, saving both costand time.”JOHNSON CONSTRUCTION - Managing Director We have worked with a myriad of industry-leading companies: NETWORK RAIL LiDAR scanning to conduct comprehensive surveys and assessments of railway viaducts, to capture intricate details and facilitate structural analysis.

Tag: Drone Survey
Commendium are currently partnering with Wardell Armstrong in providing detailed archaeological recording using drones for certain archaeological sites along the route of the proposed HS2 High-Speed railway. We have developed a process that allows us to capture not only video and photography for each of the sites but also elevation maps, orthomosaic maps, and 3D photogrammetric models. The data we are collecting is invaluable in determining if further investigation is needed in the areas but also allow for archaeologists to find new and hidden features. On a recent survey, we were asked to assist the BBC in filming for a new documentary using our drone. This was because the permissions to fly over the sites is so tightly restricted that we were the only company with authority to perform this. As these are active working sites, Commendiums surveyors have successfully applied for CSCS cards and qualifications to become authorised for construction site work. This has opened up a new avenue of work for Commendium and we are currently testing how to use photogrammetry within the construction industry. Our photogrammetric and LiDAR services are able to quantify the mass of excavations, provide detailed location data for constructions and accurately measure buildings, rivers, ditches and more. Aligned to the drone technology, we are able to carry out this work much quicker than traditional methods and much more accurately. More archaeological recording using drones surveying for the HS2 project is coming in and we expect our involvement to continue over the next few years. The project does present some challenges for us, but our team of specialist are able to overcome this by providing a completely bespoke service. In this project, the flight plans are generally pre-determined, but room is left for changes when on site. An example of this is a recent site that had a number of red kites within the boundaries of the surveying area. An ecologist was on hand to check the nests and to advise our drone operator of any potential issues. In fact, during one of our flights, we can see one of the red kites fly within about 20 feet, but the bird of prey completely disregards our drone.
