CAD Linework from Drone Data: Supporting Hydrological Assessment in Remote Quebec
One of our standout projects demonstrating the value of CAD linework from drone data took place at a remote site in Quebec. We were hired by an engineering consulting firm conducting a hydrological assessment for a potential hydroelectric development.
Recon Aerial was tasked with mapping approximately 111 acres of untouched forest to capture site extents, elevation changes, and topographical features—key data needed to assess the site’s viability.
To meet the challenge, we deployed the DJI Matrice 300 paired with the P1 sensor, capturing over 2,000 high-resolution images in under two hours of flight time. The data was processed using advanced photogrammetry software, and the results were converted into accurate, georeferenced CAD linework.
Our final deliverables included:
A detailed .DWG file with clean linework showing site boundaries, contours, and elevation profiles
A high-quality site profile drawing to support the engineering team’s analysis
This project is a perfect example of how CAD linework from drone data delivers fast, dependable, and highly accurate outputs—even in challenging or remote locations.

CAD Linework from Drone Data for Engineering and Civil Projects: As Built Drawings
Recon Aerial was tasked with conducting a drone flight operation to create a layered as-built drawing for an urban site.
The drawing was included a standard set of site features including, spot elevations, curbs, sidewalks, roads, paths, curbs, buildings, building heights, sewer grates, utility manholes, and more.
The mission was planned in autonomous software to fly 10 acres at 400 feet to capture the site. The team undertook the flight operation in approximately 30 minutes producing 155 images. While onsite the team took both base station data and ground control points to be used in data processing to correct the geo-referenced orthomosaic. The total time on site was approximately 1.5 hrs.
Following site activities, the data was processed producing a highly accurate layered AutoCAD .dwg file, assets, and a .pdf file for delivery to the client. The project from beginning to end was undertaken in about 7 days. If you would like a copy of sample .dwg files please get in touch, happy to provide!

CAD Linework from Drone Data: Residential Contruction
Recon Aerial conducted a drone mapping and surveying mission to assist an architectural firm in placing a home on a 10 acre, waterfront lot. Recon flew 3 flight missions at 170, 220, and 250 feet over 2.0 hrs taking approximately 800 images at various GSDs.
Traditionally, the architect/planner may need to visit the building site several times to ensure the proper placement of the dwelling in relation to setbacks, the elevation profile, property lines, sight-lines, access to the waterfront, and various other sites features, not so in this case.
Recon Aerial flew the property and provided our standard photogrammetric data package. The linework from drone data was used to create plan views and even section profiles to assist site development and planning.
The drone data was pivotal. It allowed the architect to fully understand the site details, place the home correctly in relation to the natural site features and meet their clients’ constraints in relation to the build and to the covenants held with the condominium purchase agreement. In fact, additional planning in relation to a road was required given the substantial elevation changes discovered via the aerial drone survey.
