Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Marseille
Shoreline, port structures, land reclaimed from the Mediterranean: in Marseille, drone photogrammetry delivers georeferenced orthophotos and 3D models, even over areas hard to survey on foot. From Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Marseille and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
On the demand side, France's second city is exceptional ground: progress monitoring on the Euroméditerranée development sites, inspections of residential blocks and port structures, imagery for seafront hotels and real estate, sports shoots around the Orange Vélodrome and film productions drawn by the Provençal light. Marseille stacks up airspace constraints: the Marseille-Provence airport CTR to the north-west, very busy hospital helipads (La Timone, Hôpital Nord), sensitive commercial port areas and, to the south, the Calanques national park where recreational drone flight is banned and professional flights tightly regulated.
