Integrated Geology, Mapping & Aerial Surveying Solutions
🚫The Challenge
Mapping extensive terrains and analyzing complex geological formations requires precision, efficiency, and safe access to remote or hard-to-reach areas. Traditional methods are often slow, costly, and potentially risky for field personnel.
✅ Our Integrated Solution
At Dronícola, we combine drones, photogrammetry, and high-resolution 3D modeling to deliver fast, accurate solutions:
✔ Detailed analysis of geological formations for exploration, environmental monitoring, and risk assessment.
✔ Aerial photogrammetry: Rapid and precise mapping of large areas.
✔ Safety and accessibility: Capable of accessing rugged terrains and hard-to-reach locations.
✔ Cost optimization: Fewer resources compared to traditional methods.
✔ GIS and CAD integration: Data ready for engineering, urban planning, and mining.
Specific Applications
Our geological digital twins are key for:
-
Mining, Oil & Gas: Optimizing operations and reducing risks.
-
Construction & Environment: Terrain monitoring and natural risk assessment.
-
Education & Research: Accessible geological analysis for academia and science.
-
Mountaineering & Climbing: Detailed models for planning and safety.
-
Virtual Production: Video games, XR experiences, and cinematic visual effects (VFX).
Success Stories
📽️ Las Cárcavas del Pontón de la Oliva Animation
A 3D animation showcasing this popular digital twin—a striking, hellish-looking rocky formation located between Madrid and Guadalajara, near Patones de Arriba.
🧗♂️ Iconic Limestone Climbing Area
Another 3D animation features one of Spain's most renowned climbing areas, located near Las Cárcavas del Pontón de la Oliva. Its 200+ climbing routes are set on limestone rock offering excellent friction and diverse features such as pockets, vertical walls, and overhangs. Suitable for climbers from beginners to experts, with routes graded from 4 to 8c on the French climbing scale.
🗺️ Aerial Mapping of Nearly 200 Hectares
Dronícola conducted a topographic survey of 200 hectares using aerial photogrammetry, generating precise models in less time and at a lower cost compared to traditional methods.
