What people fly for in Secunda
Secunda grew up around one of the largest fuel-from-coal plants in the world, and that plant still shapes everything, including where drones may go. It is a high-security site, so flying near it without permission is out of the question. Most drone work in the area comes from the collieries around Secunda, Evander and Kinross, contractors serving the plant, and grain farmers on the open land toward Bethal and Leandra. Gold mining history around Evander adds tailings dams that need inspection. Highveld winters are dry, with smog and haze hanging over the industrial area, while summer afternoons bring thunderstorms, lightning and hail. Secunda also has its own airfield, which adds another check.
Typical commercial drones requests in the area come from:
- Mines, plants and utilities: stockpile volumes, pit surveys and lidar scans of power lines and plants
- Builders, engineers and installers: RTK progress maps, earthworks volumes and as-built surveys on large sites
- Farmers and growers: fixed-wing mapping of large farms, timber blocks and irrigation schemes
