You fly the drone. We report the findings.

Field Drainage & Waterlogging

Failed drains, compaction and persistent wet zones show as thermal and visual patterns — mapped and reported to target remediation before yield suffers.

THERMAL + RGB

What we check for

  • Persistent wet zones and their extent
  • Patterns consistent with failed or blocked land drains
  • Compaction-related waterlogging (headlands, gateways, tramlines)
  • Drainage outfalls and ditch condition where visible
  • Zones worth targeting for mole-draining or remediation, prioritised by extent

An example of what you get back

Every finding in every report follows the same structure — location, frame reference, affected area, confidence, probable cause and recommended action, rated Red / Amber / Green. Here's a worked (illustrative) example from this survey type.

Finding 1: Linear Wet Zone Tracking Historic Drain Line

LocationField 11, running north–south through field centre
Frame referenceThermal + RGB pair, 0088
Estimated affected areaApprox. 180m linear feature
ConfidenceModerate–High
Severity rating (RAG)AMBER

Observation: A linear cool/wet thermal signature runs the length of the field in a pattern consistent with a mapped historic drain line, with visible surface wetness in the corresponding RGB image.

Probable cause: On balance of probability, consistent with a failed or collapsed section of the historic drain.

Recommended action: Recommend a drainage contractor investigate this run before the next wet season.

How the RAG rating works

Every finding on every survey type is rated against the same published definitions, so a Red on one job means the same thing as a Red on the next.

● RedA live risk of water ingress, structural risk, or a safety hazard — flagged for prompt action.
● AmberLikely to progress to failure if left unaddressed, but not currently causing a problem.
● GreenCosmetic or early-stage — worth recording, not urgent.
