As the name suggests, UAV technology enables us to fly an unmanned aircraft (or drone) to photograph and survey large areas of land. This is useful for clients who want to quickly and accurately conduct crop yield assessments, plan drainage systems and undertake bulk earthwork surveys.

\n\n
\n\nQuickly gather photographic and topographical information
\n\tPhotograph up to 1,000 ha in a single 40-minute flight
\n\tCapacity to conduct monthly flights to accurately monitor crop heath
\n\tCreate high resolution maps
\n\tIdentify sections of crops that need treatment or closer examination
\n\t\n\n
Precision agriculture allows us to create effective crop management plans which save on input costs and maximise yearly outputs. Our clients typically use this data for:
\n\nDisease assessment and control
\n\tIdentify sections of crops that need treatment or closer examination
\n\tLand development
\n\tPest detection
\n\tPrecision variable spraying
\n\tWater and drainage systems
\n\tYield assessments
\n\tUAV technology is a cornerstone of our precision agriculture services. Clients regularly use our UAV services when making critical decisions during a crop’s lifecycle.
\n\nUAV technology enables farmers to achieve a real-time detailed analysis of their crops. Our drones are especially designed for agricultural applications and use state of the art technology to capture agriculturally significant images and data. When combined with in-field sampling, this can provide farmers with accurate yield assessments through which input vs output costs can be clearly assessed.

CAF's structural team pride themselves on being:
\n\n
\n\nInnovative - We offer our clients the latest and most up-to-date analysis techniques and processes to provide modern and inventive structural solutions without sacrificing practicality. We use new ideas to improve construction speed and reduce costs. To deliver the most appropriate project specific solution we will continually investigate new & alternative methods of construction, materials, and thinking.
\n\n
\n\nAccurate – We know that even the very best designs can only ever be as good as the quality of documentation which describes them and that this is ultimately how the market place will judge us. As such all of our documentation is produced to a high quality to ensure clear, concise, and co-ordinated documents.
