Drone Services

Kūmānu has recently invested in the utilisation of drone technology and is currently operating a DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone platform fitted with a Zenmuse P1, 35mm, 45 mega pixel camera. We believe this combination will offer clients a higher level of professional services and creates exciting opportunities for our business going forward. 

We are Part 101 certified with the Civil Aviation Authority and have capacity to operate under 102 certifications where required for special operations. This allows us to work with air traffic control to operate legally and safely around, controlled air space near airports, unmanned aerodromes and other restricted flight zones if required. We can work in both remote locations and urban areas safely and with a high level of accuracy. 

We have experience with survey/mapping operations, gravel extraction volume quantifying and landscape architecture 3D rendering.  In combination with our ecology, restoration planting, biosecurity and GIS analysis services we are able to deliver an end-to-end product.
