Drone mapping and surveying in Castellón
Drone surveying, photogrammetry, LiDAR and thermography across the province of Castellón: the ceramics industry estates of La Plana, the coastal citrus groves, the mountainous interior and the wind farms of El Maestrat and Els Ports.
Topographic surveys in Castellón: terrain and sectors
La Plana Alta and La Plana Baixa are home to the ceramic and tile industry: large industrial estates, warehouses, raw material stockpiles and ponds that are mapped and measured for volume with a drone.
The coast and La Plana are also citrus groves and market gardens: farm orthophotos, multispectral analysis and DTMs for irrigation and drainage.
The interior (Alto Palancia, Alto Mijares, Alcalatén, Els Ports and El Maestrat) is mountainous and vegetated: LiDAR terrain, where photogrammetry cannot reach the ground.
The wind farms of El Maestrat and Els Ports need DTMs on rugged terrain, access roads, platforms and construction monitoring.
The Mediterranean rail corridor, the AP-7, the N-340 and the power lines connecting with Catalonia and Aragon cross the province from north to south.
Drone mapping in Castellón from Xàtiva
Castellón is the province furthest from our base in Xàtiva. Castelló de la Plana is an hour and a half away by motorway; the north of the province, just over two hours.
We organise the work in full days to make the most of the journey: several plots, several sections or several warehouses on the same trip.
The equipment is the same as in Valencia and Alicante: a DJI Matrice 400 drone with DJI Zenmuse L3 LiDAR, a metric RGB camera, a multispectral camera, a DJI Zenmuse H30T radiometric thermal camera, GNSS RTK and a total station.
We deliver in official ETRS89 coordinates (UTM, in the appropriate zone), or in the system the project requires.
Surveying and drone services in the province of Castellón
Services are chosen according to the terrain: photogrammetry on industrial estates and farms, LiDAR in the interior and in corridors, thermography on solar PV plants and industrial roofs.
- Drone surveying of industrial estates, plots and residential developments
- Drone LiDAR in the mountainous interior and in linear corridors
- Drone photogrammetry: orthophotos, DSMs and 3D models
- Construction monitoring and stockpile volumes in the ceramics industry
- Thermography of solar PV plants and industrial roofs
- Inspection of power lines and wind farms
Lead times and flight areas in Castellón
The flight is scheduled within a few days depending on the weather. Deliverables arrive, as a guide, 3 to 10 working days later; somewhat longer for LiDAR surveys with classification.
The area around Castellón airport, the natural parks (Penyagolosa, Desert de les Palmes, Prat de Cabanes, Serra d'Irta, Tinença de Benifassà) and town centres require prior coordination or authorisation, which is part of the planning.
Questions about work in Castellón
Do you charge for travel to Castellón?
Travel is included in the quote. As it is the province furthest from Xàtiva, we try to group jobs into full days so that it weighs as little as possible.
How long does it take to deliver a survey in Castellón?
As a guide, 3 to 10 working days from the flight for orthophoto, DTM and contour lines, and somewhat longer for LiDAR with classification. The flight is scheduled within a few days.
Which areas of Castellón do you cover?
The whole province: La Plana, the coast, Alto Palancia and Alto Mijares, Alcalatén, El Maestrat and Els Ports. In the interior, LiDAR is the usual technique.
Do you work in the mountainous interior?
Yes. That is where drone LiDAR adds the most and avoids days of fieldwork on difficult terrain. Multiple returns help record the ground through gaps in the vegetation. We classify the ground points, check the coverage obtained and plan the flight according to the relief and access.
