Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Nîmes

Free quote — surveying & photogrammetry in Nîmes

Around Nîmes, large footprints are measured fast and well by drone: development zones, logistics platforms, farms and quarries across Occitanie. A one-hour flight yields an orthophoto, contour lines and a georeferenced point cloud. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Nîmes and its department (30) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

Outlets are varied: showcasing exceptional Roman heritage (the arena, the UNESCO-listed Maison Carrée, the Magne tower), real estate and hotels in a gateway city to the Camargue and Cévennes, Costières de Nîmes vineyards, and monitoring of flood-defence works against Cévenol storms, a recurring issue that drones document effectively. Nîmes' particularity: Nîmes-Garons airport to the south hosts the French civil-security air fleet (Canadair water bombers, Dash aircraft), whose activity intensifies sharply in fire season — its CTR and the bombers' low trajectories demand serious coordination in summer.
