Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Bastia

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Bastia

Shoreline, port structures, land reclaimed from the Mediterranean: in Bastia, drone photogrammetry delivers georeferenced orthophotos and 3D models, even over areas hard to survey on foot. From Vieux-Port de Bastia to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Bastia and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

Bastia's economy rests on the port (France's leading international passenger port, serving Italy and the mainland), commerce, the Haute-Corse administration and food production (clementines, nearby Patrimonio wines). Typical drone missions: tourism imagery of Cap Corse and hilltop villages, real estate, port and urban construction monitoring, events. Corsica's leading port and the island's gateway, Bastia squeezes its amphitheatre-shaped old harbour between the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church and the Genoese citadel of Terra Nova; Saint-Nicolas square, the rooftops of Terra Vecchia and the Cap Corse road make up the rest of the scenery.

Flight rules in Bastia

Photogrammetric flight plans in Bastia are set within the controlled airspace ceilings (CTR de l'aéroport de Bastia-Poretta (LFKB) au sud): ground resolution is guaranteed by adapting height and overlap, with the protocol cleared before the mission.

Photogrammetric surveys fly in the open category over controlled sites, on automated grids below 120 m; urban footprints or sites crossed by third parties move to the specific category with a declaration. Full regulations and rates: surveying & photogrammetry across France →

Frequently asked questions

Surveying & photogrammetry in Bastia: what budget should you plan?

Allow €800–3,000 per day — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Bastia, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.

What accuracy can a drone survey achieve in Bastia?

With GNSS-measured ground control points, the orthophoto and point cloud reach 2–5 cm planimetric accuracy — enough for a preliminary design survey. For legally binding documents we work under a partner chartered surveyor covering Corse.

Does vegetation interfere with photogrammetric surveys?

Yes: photogrammetry measures the visible surface, so the canopy rather than the ground beneath. For wooded areas, we offer drone LiDAR, which penetrates vegetation and reconstructs the bare terrain.
