What to know locally in Roodepoort
Paid drone work in Roodepoort centres on property and land. Estates in Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Radiokop use aerial photos to show the view from the ridges, while developers ask for topographic surveys of old mine ground around Florida and Maraisburg before building. Shopping centre and factory owners order roof inspections. Ask a surveyor which accuracy they work to, whether ground control points are included, and to see the RPL and ROC.
Roodepoort from the air
Roodepoort is ridge country, and the rocky Witwatersrand outcrops give drone pilots height and wind in equal measure. The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden, with its waterfall and nesting eagles, and Kloofendal Nature Reserve are protected areas where flying needs permission from the managers. Elsewhere the work is practical: estates in Ruimsig and Wilgeheuwel marketed from the air, old mine land around Florida and Maraisburg surveyed for redevelopment, and shopping centres inspected on their large roofs. Lanseria Airport is close to the north. Strong gusts come off the ridges ahead of summer storms, and winter brings cold, still mornings that suit careful mapping flights.
The requests we see from Roodepoort usually come from:
- Estate agents and developers: site plans and 3D models for developers before design and during marketing
- Builders, engineers and installers: cut and fill, earthworks volumes and monthly progress maps on building sites
- Hobbyists and families: a measured aerial map of a smallholding before building, fencing or subdividing
