Deibel’s goal is to set a realistic time frame for project completion with unforeseen events factored in. Field work is completed within this time frame. Our “Complete Project” price is NEVER exceeded unless extra work is requested and approved by our client.

Servicing our industry requires that Survey Crews can be marshaled to the job site with short notice. Versatility with instrumentation and manpower allows Deibel Surveying to place one-man, two-men or three-men crews on the job quickly. Varying the size of the field crew to meet the task also increases availability. Deliverables may be delayed due to challenges that arise on…

Some elements of surveying are technology based, making it a science, and some are related to history, law, evidence and interpretation, making it an art.

Surveyors in particular have come to understand that they can do more with less by using drones, but doing so is dependent on being able to efficiently process the data being gathered. After all, gathering all the necessary data might take a single drone flight, but processing that data to create actionable information is a much different endeavor. “Who should process your UAV mapping data?” is a question that many are asking, and the Aerotas team has put together a…
