Drone Surveying and Mapping in Centurion

Local teams know the terrain, the bush cover and the airspace limits near airports, and many work with land surveyors in Gauteng, so ask for quotes from mapping operators who regularly fly here.

The main drone surveying and mapping page explains the types, the licences and the costs in more detail.

Drone services in Centurion: local notes

Centurion's construction pipeline keeps survey and video operators busy, with estates, schools and warehouses going up around Olievenhoutbosch, Monavoni and Midstream. Inspections of roofs, solar arrays and gutters are common in older complexes in Lyttelton and Eldoraigne. Estate security teams sometimes ask about drone patrols, which must be run by a licensed operator. Because both air force bases are close, ask each company how long airspace approval usually takes for your site.

Centurion from the air

Centurion sits between two air force bases, Swartkop to the west and Waterkloof to the east, so it is one of the more awkward places in Gauteng to fly casually. Paid work goes on regardless. Developers want progress video of new estates in Midstream and Olievenhoutbosch, body corporates want roof and gutter checks, and office parks along the N1 order photos for leasing. Irene's farmland and the Rietvlei area add open space and a rural look. Summer brings late afternoon thunderstorms that arrive fast over the open grassland, while winter brings clear, cold mornings that suit mapping. Most estates also set their own drone rules.
