The Brief

The client was looking at a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods of forestry spraying prior to planting.

Planning

The target area was pre-mapped, with all landing and take-off zones clearly designated. Flight routes were digitally optimised with real-time kinematic (RTK) drone mapping to ensure maximum precision and efficiency, allowing for seamless operations on the days of application. Supported by a continuous water supply and well-trained staff, the project was executed with zero downtime.

Execution

Thorough planning and a skilled team resulted in a seamless, timely operation with excellent outcomes. Our proactive pre-planning effectively mitigated any challenges posed by the steep terrain and limited site access.
