Full List of Surveying & Technical

Drone surveying (UAV/UAS) has revolutionized data collection, providing high-resolution aerial imagery and LiDAR data. Because this technology operates in shared airspace and involves sophisticated hardware, Drone Surveying insurance is designed to address both professional data accuracy and aviation-specific liabilities, subject to the terms, conditions, exclusions, and limitations of the policy issued.

1. Professional Liability & Data Integrity

Coverage is structured to address claims arising from alleged errors in photogrammetry, point cloud generation, or volumetric calculations. If a client relies on inaccurate drone data for earthwork estimates or site planning, this coverage addresses the resulting financial losses.

2. Aviation & Third-Party Liability

Unlike traditional ground surveying, drone operations carry the risk of mid-air collisions or equipment failure leading to a "fly-away." This coverage addresses bodily injury or property damage caused by the drone hitting a person, vehicle, or structure.

3. Cyber & Privacy Liability

Aerial data collection often involves capturing images of private property or sensitive infrastructure. Policies may address claims related to invasion of privacy or data breaches occurring during the storage and transmission of high-resolution aerial files.

4. Hull & Equipment Coverage

High-end surveying drones and their sensors (LiDAR, thermal) are significant investments. Hull coverage protects the physical aircraft and its payload against accidental damage, "crashes," and theft, whether the unit is in flight or in transit.
