Top Drone Survey in Bangladesh – 5 Key Insights from Alokito Project
Client: Amin Mohammad Lands Development Ltd.
Project: Drone-Based Topographic Survey
Location: Kabirpur, Shimulia, Savar, Dhaka
Project Area: 5.00 SQKM
Drone Survey in Bangladesh – Project Overview
Sthapati Associates Ltd. completed a high-precision drone survey in Bangladesh for the Alokito Bangladesh project in Savar. The objective was to collect detailed topographic data over 5.00 SQKM of land to support planning and infrastructure design for a major land development project. Using DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drones with RTK support and GNSS receivers, we delivered orthophotos, digital elevation models, and GIS-ready data in a remarkably short time.
Why Drone Surveying in Bangladesh Is the Future
Traditional land surveys can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive. With modern drone surveying technology, you can save time, cut costs, and increase accuracy. Our drone survey in Bangladesh services provide real estate developers, architects, engineers, and planners with up-to-date, georeferenced data needed for smart decision-making.
- ✅ Speed: Cover vast areas in a few flight sessions
- ✅ Precision: Centimeter-level accuracy with RTK & GCPs
- ✅ 3D Visuals: Generate 3D models and contours instantly
- ✅ Eco-Friendly: Minimal environmental impact
- ✅ Integrated Output: Works with AutoCAD, GIS, BIM software
Scope of Drone Surveying for Alokito Bangladesh
1. TBM Setup & GPS Static Observations
Our team began by installing multiple Temporary Benchmarks (TBMs) using high-grade GNSS equipment. The base and rover stations — CSC iBase and CSC i89 — were used for static observations and GCP alignment to build a reliable geodetic framework for mapping.
2. Aerial Mapping Using DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise
We deployed the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, a powerful RTK-enabled drone capable of capturing ultra-sharp images with high frequency and geo-tags. The drone covered the entire 5.00 SQKM site with overlapping image grids, ensuring complete topographic coverage.
3. Ground Control Points for Accuracy
To ensure survey-grade outputs, we marked and measured Ground Control Points across the entire site. These GCPs were used to correct drone image alignment during post-processing, reducing errors and increasing spatial fidelity.
4. Data Processing Using DJI Terra
The captured imagery and GPS logs were processed using DJI Terra, resulting in:
- 📍 Georeferenced Orthomosaics (GeoTIFF)
- 📍 Digital Surface Models (DSM)
- 📍 3D Terrain Visualizations
- 📍 Contour Maps at 1m Interval
- 📍 DWG, DXF, SHP Outputs
Final Deliverables
- ✅ Full-color orthophotos with sub-decimeter resolution
- ✅ GIS shapefiles for drainage and layout planning
- ✅ DWG files for integration into civil drawings
- ✅ 3D models for terrain analysis and cut-fill calculations
