🗺️ SURVEYING & PHOTOGRAMMETRY · NANTERRE (92) · €800–3,000 PER DAY
Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Nanterre
In Nanterre, drone surveys support projects along the Seine: banks, flood zones, bridges and land awaiting development. Centimetre-grade orthophotos replace days of ground survey work. From Préfecture des Hauts-de-Seine, le « paquebot » to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Nanterre and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Nanterre falls within the Paris conurbation's low-altitude no-fly zone: police prefecture authorisation is mandatory for every mission, compounded by the immediate proximity of the La Défense towers — Europe's largest business district, full of sensitive sites — and Mont Valérien, a military site whose overflight is prohibited. Major roads (A14, A86) and the Seine complete the vigilance map. The market is dense: permanent construction at Les Groues and the university, the RER E (Eole) extension whose surface works are documented by drone, façade inspections of high-rises and of the ocean-liner prefecture building, corporate imagery for headquarters between the Seine and the Grande Arche, and coverage of the Terrasses along La Défense's historic axis.

Flight rules in Nanterre
A photogrammetric survey in Nanterre covers the site in parallel flight lines: inside the restricted perimeter (Zone interdite basse altitude de l'agglomération parisienne), the authorisation must describe that grid precisely — a technical file we prepare as standard.
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 →

What accuracy can a drone survey achieve in Nanterre?
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 Île-de-France.
What accuracy can a drone survey guarantee?
With an RTK drone and ground control points, we guarantee 2 to 5 cm XYZ accuracy, verified against independent checkpoints whose residuals are documented in the processing report.
