OPERATING AREA / 02

Regional Queensland, Northern NSW and major projects

Scheduled drone surveying, inspection and aerial filming brought to your site: the same survey-grade methodology as the Brisbane work, wherever the asset is.

REGIONAL WORK

Brought to site, wherever the asset is

Hover travels out to regional Queensland and Northern NSW for scheduled work, planned around your access window and delivered to the same standard as the metro capture. Distance changes the logistics, not the methodology: RTK capture against control, independent ground-control validation, and the same deliverables and reports.

The Burnett River rail bridge on this page is a good example: a weekend job booked around a scheduled rail track closure, with three days on site filming and running a live inspection of the bridge painting works. Regional infrastructure work usually turns on exactly that kind of access window, and the capture is planned to land inside it.

LOGISTICS

Planned like fieldwork, because it is

Regional jobs run on a scheduled window with weather contingency built in and site documentation issued ahead of arrival. Multi-day and access-restricted work (shutdowns, track closures, live works alongside other trades) is planned into the scope so the capture lands inside the window it has to. See photogrammetry and digital twins for the deliverable stack.

PROGRAM WORK

Major projects, Australia-wide

For infrastructure portfolios and linear assets beyond the south-east, Hover mobilises Australia-wide, capturing multi-site portfolios to one consistent method so the data stays comparable across states and years.

Programs are scoped as campaigns: sequenced sites, weather contingency, remote logistics and the compliance stack pre-cleared with each asset owner. Each site is quoted as a single fixed price, and the whole program is scoped in writing before anything mobilises.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Straight answers, before you ask

Q/01How does pricing work for regional and multi-site jobs?

Travel and time on site are scoped into the quote alongside the capture itself, as a single fixed price. That travel component is the main difference from a metro job, and multi-day work and access windows like a shutdown or track closure are planned into the scope, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Send the asset, its location and your access window, and the quote comes back within one business day.

Q/02Which regions do you cover?

Regional Queensland and Northern New South Wales, with greater Brisbane and SEQ as the home base. Multi-site and interstate work is covered here too, sequenced around each site’s access window.

Q/03Is the methodology the same as metro work?

Identical. What changes is the planning around it: travel, accommodation on multi-day work, and a wider weather contingency, because a re-fly out there means another trip rather than another morning.

Q/04How do multi-site national programs run?

Capture windows carry weather contingency, and documentation is cleared with each asset owner before mobilisation. Every site is flown to the same parameters, so the resulting dataset compares cleanly across the portfolio.
