Imagine being able to get a bird’s-eye view of your entire project, in stark detail, with centimetre-level accuracy and high-resolution imagery captured in a matter of minutes.
Now, thanks to J Wyndham Prince, that power and control is within your reach.
Our world-class team has taken its already first class service offering and capabilities to new heights by purchasing a DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Series drone to carry out drone surveys and detailed photogrammetry for our clients.
Elevating Engineering Excellence
J Wyndham Prince has long been a leader in providing innovative civil engineering, planning, and project management services across Australia. With the integration of the cutting-edge DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drone into our operations, we are once again pushing the envelope in terms of technological capability and client service.
This state-of-the-art drone enables us to conduct faster, more accurate surveys, deliver rich visual data and make better-informed decisions for civil infrastructure, road design, stormwater systems and the ability to provide accurate earthworks information during construction .
Precision Mapping
One of the key advantages of our new drone is its built-in real-time kinematic (RTK) module. RTK technology enhances positional accuracy down to the centimetre, making it an ideal tool for detailed land surveys and mapping tasks that demand exact spatial data.
What this means for our clients is that even the most complex sites can be mapped with remarkable precision and a minimal margin of error. The improved accuracy reduces the need for traditional ground control points (GCPs), saving time and reducing manual setup requirements in the field.
Cover More Ground, Faster
With a flight time of up to 45 minutes and the ability to cover approximately 2 km2 in a single survey, our new Mavic drone transforms the way we are able to conduct large-area surveys. Projects that once took days of manual site inspection and detailed survey can now be completed within a few hours, streamlining timelines and cutting down on project overheads.
This efficiency is particularly beneficial in early planning and pre-construction phases, where fast, reliable site intelligence is key to shaping engineering and development decisions.
Exceptional Imaging Capability
The Mavic drone is equipped with a wide-angle 20-megapixel (MP) camera, which is built around a large 4/3 complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) sensor and a mechanical shutter. This setup not only ensures crisp image quality but also eliminates motion blur, making it ideal for photogrammetric tasks where image clarity directly influences mapping accuracy.
The drone can shoot at 0.7-second intervals, allowing for swift image capture during flight. This results in seamless, high-resolution orthomosaic maps and 3D models that are essential for design development , earthworks planning and environmental assessments.
Additionally, the camera’s large 3.3 μm pixels and intelligent low-light mode ensure strong performance in shaded or dim environments, which is perfect for overcast days or sites surrounded by dense vegetation or structures.
Zoom In ForThe Details
In addition to its wide camera, the drone also carries a 12 MP zoom lens that supports up to 56x hybrid zoom. This allows engineers and project managers to observe hard-to-reach locations from a safe distance, whether it’s checking structural integrity on culvert crossing , monitoring road conditions during traffic, or scanning flood-prone areas without stepping into dangerous terrain.
This capability also supports public consultation and stakeholder presentations by offering highly detailed visual documentation for your project
Empowering Our Teams
From civil design and traffic infrastructure to stormwater engineering and construction contract administration, the Mavic 3 Enterprise Series drone integrates seamlessly into J Wyndham Prince’s core service areas. It adds value at every stage, from early feasibility studies and planning through to construction oversight and asset management.
Investing in this technology means that we can now improve the precision and scope of our technical capabilities while also reinforcing our commitment to delivering smarter, faster and safer engineering outcomes for our clients.
