Calculate your cut and fill ratios in half the time and at half the cost with new drone technology

At Aptella, we make calculating your cut and fill volumes and ratios easier and more cost-effective with our line of innovative drones and drone technology. This new extensive range of drone technology is aimed at making site surveying easier and more cost-effective. By increasing the survey accuracy and utilising the high quality, durable and innovative drone and software programs, large site areas can be surveyed in half the time. By utilising remote flight technology, this cuts the number of boots on the ground required which is generally what increases surveying costs. What was once a 2-3 day job requiring sometimes up to 10 employees or surveyors has now turned into a half-day job needing only the aircraft pilot,
