Pledex supplies visual site information to support planning. We do not provide engineering diagnoses or structural certification.
Progress & Condition Surveys
Repeat drone surveys used to document deterioration, repairs, construction activity and changes to sites or assets over time.
- Repeatable aerial surveys
- Before-and-after documentation
- Construction progress records
- Maintenance progress monitoring
- Condition comparisons
- Long-term visual site records
Measurements & Photogrammetry
Photogrammetric site capture that can assist with understanding distances, areas, heights and site layouts for planning, quotations and contractor discussions.
- Distance measurements
- Area measurements
- Height measurements
- Site layout information
- Photogrammetric models
- Useful for planning and maintenance discussions
- Useful for quotation and contractor conversations
Measurements are indicative visual site information derived from photogrammetric models. They are not land survey, cadastral or engineering-grade data.
Large-Site Surveys
Drone capture and mapping for larger commercial and industrial environments. Large areas can be captured efficiently and converted into useful visual records, maps and digital models.
Suitable for- Industrial facilities
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing sites
- Commercial estates
- Logistics facilities
- Yards
- Construction sites
- Infrastructure environments
- Quarries and similar large operational sites
Pledex Memorial MapPledex Memorial Map — cemetery mapping that finds, preserves and remembers.
The same aerial capture and digital mapping discipline we apply to commercial property, applied to burial grounds. A searchable digital map of a cemetery, with existing burial records linked to verified locations.
- Aerial cemetery mapping and an interactive grave finder
- Burial record digitisation and preservation
- Built for parish councils, churches and local authorities
Project Deliverables
Every project is tailored to the site and client requirements. Depending on the project, Pledex can provide a combination of the following digital outputs.
Interactive 3D Model
A detailed digital 3D representation of your property, site or asset that can be viewed from different angles and used to understand the site remotely.
- View the site remotely
- Understand buildings, land and surrounding areas
- Visualise the entire site in one place
- Useful for management, maintenance and planning
- Creates a lasting digital record
2D Orthomosaic Map
A high-resolution overhead map created from aerial imagery, providing a detailed visual overview of the captured site.
- Detailed overhead site view
- Understand layouts and boundaries visually
- View buildings, access routes and surrounding land
- Useful alongside the 3D model
- Creates a clear visual site record
Inspection Imagery
Detailed high-resolution photographs of specific buildings, roofs, façades, plant or other assets captured during the inspection.
- High-resolution inspection photographs
- Detailed views of difficult-to-access areas
- Images organised for easy review
- Useful for maintenance and contractor discussions
- Permanent visual evidence of site condition
Condition / Inspection Report
Where required, provide an organised visual report documenting the areas captured during the project.
- Selected inspection imagery
- Clearly identified areas of interest
- Visual site documentation
- Suitable for internal records
- Useful for maintenance and repair discussions
A Pledex report is a visual record of captured areas. It is not structural engineering certification or a professional building survey, unless separately commissioned and appropriately qualified.
Measurement Tools
Use the digital model to assist with understanding distances, areas and heights across the captured site.
- Distance measurements
- Area measurements
- Height measurements
- Useful for planning
- Useful for maintenance discussions
- Useful for site and contractor conversations
High-Resolution Aerial Imagery
Professional high-resolution aerial photographs captured during the project for documentation, management and appropriate marketing use.
- Professional aerial perspectives
- Detailed site documentation
- Asset and property imagery
- Useful for presentations
- Useful for marketing where required
- Creates a visual record of the property or site
