Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Évreux

Drone photogrammetry turns a few hundred aerial photos into precision survey products: georeferenced orthophotography at 1–3 cm/pixel, digital surface and terrain models, 3D point clouds, contour lines, stockpile and earthworks volume calculations. With an RTK/PPK drone and ground control points measured by centimetre-grade GNSS, accuracy reaches 2 to 5 cm both horizontally and vertically — sufficient for most development studies, at a fraction of the cost of an exhaustive ground survey.

We cover from 1 to several hundred hectares per day depending on the required resolution, including hard-to-access sites: working quarries, landfills, riverbanks, industrial wasteland. Deliverables come in your coordinate system (Lambert 93 / RGF93, conic conformal projections) and standard formats (GeoTIFF, LAS/LAZ, DXF, GIS formats). Chartered surveyors, civil engineering offices, quarry operators and local authorities are regular clients.

Common use cases

The local context in Évreux

Prefecture of the Eure, an hour from Paris, Évreux is organised around its Notre-Dame cathedral, famed for its 14th- to 16th-century stained glass, its 15th-century belfry and the arms of the Iton river crossing the post-1945 rebuilt centre. The dominant constraint for drone pilots is military: air base 105 Évreux-Fauville, home to tactical transport aircraft (the Franco-German C-130J fleet) and drone squadrons, borders the east of the city with extensive prohibited and restricted zones.

The local economy blends pharmaceuticals (GSK), defence electronics, logistics and administration. The proximity of the industrial Seine valley and tourist Normandy widens the playing field. Common missions: thermography and urban renewal, logistics construction monitoring, heritage, agriculture on the Eure's cereal plateaux — always working around the BA 105 airspace.

Applicable regulations

Survey flights mostly take place outside built-up areas, in open category A2 or A3 (photogrammetry drones weigh 900 g to 6 kg) flying automated grid patterns below the regulatory 120 m. Long corridors or populated sites fall under the specific category (STS-01/STS-02, or an operational authorisation for BVLOS on long corridors). The operator is registered on AlphaTango and checks regulated zones on Géoportail: quarries and industrial estates are often near airfields or under military low-altitude training routes (RTBA), requiring protocols or time slots. Legally binding georeferencing (enforceable boundary plans) remains the exclusive remit of chartered surveyors, with whom we work as subcontractors.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Does a drone survey replace a chartered surveyor?

No for legally binding documents (boundary demarcation, land division): that is the chartered surveyor's legal monopoly. Yes for technical studies: our deliverables feed directly into civil works design, volume calculations and environmental studies.

Does vegetation interfere with photogrammetric surveys?

Yes: photogrammetry measures the visible surface, so the canopy rather than the ground beneath. For wooded areas, we offer drone LiDAR, which penetrates vegetation and reconstructs the bare terrain.

Can this service be flown anywhere in Évreux?

Almost: Zones interdites et réglementées de la base aérienne 105 d'Évreux-Fauville; Trafic militaire basse hauteur (avions tactiques, drones). Depending on the exact location, the pilot picks the right framework (open or specific category) and files the required declarations — included in the quote.
