Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our African 3D scanning and drone services.
What countries in Africa do you serve?
We provide comprehensive 3D scanning and drone services across Africa, with established operations in South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, and Nigeria. Our teams can mobilize to other African countries with proper coordination, permits, and logistics planning.
How much do 3D scanning and drone services cost in Africa?
Pricing varies by country, location, and project scope. Standard 3D scanning projects typically range from $2,500-6,000 USD, while drone photogrammetry and LiDAR surveying range from $4,000-20,000+ for larger sites. Pricing accounts for local conditions, equipment logistics, and travel requirements. Contact us at +1-347-998-1464 for customized estimates.
What is your response time for African projects?
We maintain 24-hour response time for inquiries and consultations across all African markets. Project mobilization timelines vary by country and permit requirements, typically 5-14 business days. For South Africa and major markets, we can often deploy faster through established local partnerships.
Are your drone pilots certified for African operations?
Yes, we work with locally certified drone operators in each country who meet all regulatory requirements. This includes SACAA certification in South Africa, ECAA approval in Egypt, and equivalent certifications across all markets. We handle all local permits and airspace authorizations.
What scanning equipment do you use in Africa?
We deploy industry-leading equipment including Trimble X12 and NavVis VLX3 terrestrial scanners achieving ±2-4mm accuracy, Matterport Pro3 for virtual tours, and DJI Matrice 400 RTK and Skydio X10 drones for aerial work. Equipment selection depends on project requirements and local logistics.
Can you handle projects in remote African locations?
Yes, we specialize in challenging logistics. Our teams have experience with mining sites, pipeline corridors, and remote infrastructure projects across Africa. We coordinate all transportation, power requirements, and safety protocols for remote operations.
What industries do you primarily serve in Africa?
Our major African sectors include mining operations across southern and western Africa, oil and gas infrastructure in Nigeria and North Africa, construction and real estate development, historic preservation and cultural heritage documentation, and infrastructure projects for growing urban centers.
What file formats and deliverables do you provide?
We deliver point clouds in E57, LAS, and RCP formats, BIM models in Revit, 2D CAD in AutoCAD DWG, orthophotos and DEMs in GeoTIFF, virtual tours via Matterport, and PDF documentation. All deliverables meet international standards used by multinational clients operating in Africa.
Do you offer emergency or rush services in Africa?
Yes, we provide expedited services for urgent projects with additional rush fees. Emergency response availability varies by location, with fastest deployment possible in South Africa and major urban centers. Contact us directly to discuss urgent project requirements.
