Affordable Housing Drone Mapping — Konza & Mbotela

Konza1.6890° S 37.1850° E
Mbotela, Nairobi1.2910° S 36.8460° E (approx.)

High-accuracy drone mapping surveys for Affordable Housing developments in Konza and Mbotela, Kenya. The objective was to produce accurate geospatial datasets to support planning, design, and construction activities within the housing developments.

Objectives

Capture accurate aerial imagery of the project sites.
Establish survey-grade ground control using static GNSS observations.
Produce high-resolution topographic mapping for engineering and planning.
Deliver accurate geospatial products for design and construction teams.

Scope of work

01

Established static GNSS control points before each drone mission.

02

Conducted UAV flight operations to capture high-resolution aerial imagery across the project sites.

03

Logged static GNSS observations throughout the drone flight to ensure accurate georeferencing.

04

Processed GNSS and UAV datasets to achieve survey-grade positional accuracy.

05

Generated topographic survey deliverables from the processed data.
