OPERATING AREA / 02

Regional Queensland and Northern NSW

Scheduled drone surveying, inspection and aerial filming brought to your site — the same survey-grade methodology as the Brisbane work, wherever the asset is.

REGIONAL WORK

Brought to site, wherever the asset is

Hover travels out to regional Queensland and Northern NSW for scheduled work, planned around your access window and delivered to the same standard as the metro capture. Distance changes the logistics, not the methodology — RTK capture against control, independent ground-control validation, and the same deliverables and reports.

The Burnett River rail bridge on this page is a good example: a weekend job booked around a scheduled rail track closure — three days on site filming and running a live inspection of the bridge painting works. Regional infrastructure work usually turns on exactly that kind of access window, and the capture is planned to land inside it.

LOGISTICS

Planned like fieldwork, because it is

Regional jobs run on a scheduled window with weather contingency built in and site documentation issued ahead of arrival. Multi-day and access-restricted work — shutdowns, track closures, live works alongside other trades — is planned into the scope so the capture lands inside the window it has to. Asset owners receive the same validated deliverables and control reports as metropolitan work — see photogrammetry and digital twins for the deliverable stack.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers, before you ask

Q/01How does pricing work for regional jobs?

Travel and time on site are scoped into the quote alongside the capture itself, as a single fixed price. Send the asset, its location and your access window, and the quote comes back within one business day.

Q/02Which regions do you cover?

Regional Queensland and Northern New South Wales, with greater Brisbane and SEQ as the home base. For assets beyond these areas, see the nationwide major projects page.

Q/03Is the methodology the same as metro work?

Identical: RTK capture against control, independent GCP validation, and the same deliverable formats and reports. Distance changes the logistics, not the standard.

Q/04Does regional work cost more?

There is a travel component for regional assets — that is the main difference from a metro job. It is quoted up front inside a single fixed price, and multi-day jobs and access windows like a shutdown or track closure are planned into the scope, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
