Selected work

Runways, rail corridors, reservoirs, ports and parks

Eight projects flown for enterprise and government clients across India. Each entry names the client, the site and what was actually handed over.

In short

These are named projects, not stock examples. Flying Pixel has flown survey and progress work for L&T at Navi Mumbai Airport, NHSRCL on the bullet train terminal, Central Railway across two ghat corridors, EDF Energy at the Sawale hydro project, Adani Ports at Dighi, Aditya Birla Renewables in Kutch, Sterlite Power along a 200 km transmission corridor, and NHAI on highway works.

NHSRCL

Bullet train terminal construction survey

Aerial construction-progress survey of the high-speed rail terminal, with orthomosaics tied to the project grid so quantities and setting-out can be checked against design.

Thermal and LiDAR survey across two ghat corridors

Aerial thermal and LiDAR survey through steep forested ghat sections. LiDAR reads ground level under canopy where photogrammetry alone cannot see the formation.

Sawale hydro project LiDAR survey

Aerial LiDAR survey across reservoir and slope terrain, classified to bare earth and delivered as a terrain model for penstock and access road design.

Utility-scale solar park topography survey

Aerial topography survey across flat salt-crusted terrain where small level changes drive the grading design and the module table layout.

Dighi Port haul road setting-out survey

Topography survey to set out the haul road running to the stone-crusher plant, capturing existing ground for the cut and fill design before earthwork started.

Transmission line survey along a 200 km corridor

Corridor survey along 200 km of transmission alignment in a single mobilisation, mapping the right of way and ground profile that tower spotting depends on.

FAQ

Questions about the work

If your question is not here, ask it in the enquiry form and a surveyor will answer it.

  • Are these real projects with real clients?

    Yes. Every project listed names the client, the site and what was handed over, and the client names are published with permission. We do not use stock imagery in place of work we have done. If you want to verify a particular engagement before appointing us, ask and we will arrange it.

  • Can you share a sample deliverable before we appoint you?

    Yes. We can share a representative deliverable set and, more usefully, the control and checkpoint report that sits behind it, which is what tells you whether the accuracy claim holds. Project-specific data belongs to the client who paid for it, so samples are shared with that in mind.

  • What kind of sites have you flown?

    Highways, airports, ports, high-speed rail, conventional railway through forested ghat sections, hydro-electric reservoirs and slopes, utility-scale solar parks, transmission corridors and township construction. The common thread is infrastructure where the survey has to hold up when quantities are certified or a design is signed off.

  • What was involved in the Navi Mumbai Airport work?

    Monthly aerial videography and photography across the airport build, flown to a repeatable flight path so each month lines up against the last for review. Delivered for L&T. Repeating the same mission is what makes month two comparable with month one rather than simply another set of pictures.

  • What did the Central Railway ghat survey involve?

    Aerial thermal and LiDAR survey through steep forested ghat sections, across the Karjat to Talegaon and Kasara to Igatpuri corridors. LiDAR was the deciding factor: it reads ground level under canopy, where photogrammetry alone cannot see the formation at all. Delivered as classified point cloud, thermal imagery and terrain data.

  • How large an area can you cover in one mobilisation?

    Corridor work scales well. We surveyed 200 km of transmission alignment for Sterlite Power in a single mobilisation. Area sites depend more on the accuracy required, because a tighter ground sample distance means lower flight height and more passes. Scope the tolerance first and the coverage figure follows from it.

  • Do you work for government bodies as well as private clients?

    Yes. Work has been delivered for NHAI, NHSRCL, Central Railway and NHPC alongside private clients including L&T, Adani Ports, Tata Power, Sterlite Power, EDF Energy and Aditya Birla Renewables. Public work is documented work, so those deliverables ship with the control report and certification a tender review expects.

  • Can you repeat a survey on the same site later?

    Yes, and repeat capture is where aerial survey earns most of its value. Flying a saved mission again means the new dataset aligns with the previous one, so change can be measured rather than estimated. That applies to construction progress, stockpile movement, and any site where quantities shift over time.

  • What sensors do you fly?

    Photogrammetric cameras for true-colour measurable imagery, LiDAR for ground under vegetation, and thermal for defect detection on solar fields and electrical assets. Sensor choice is made from the site and the deliverable, not from what is convenient. Mixed sites are often flown with more than one and the results merged.

  • Can we speak to a past client as a reference?

    Yes, subject to that client agreeing. Reference conversations are arranged on request during procurement, which is the point at which they are actually useful. We would rather you spoke to someone who has certified quantities from our data than rely on a logo on a page.
