01 / 04 · Height
Up to antenna height.
We fly to each antenna height on the structure and capture a full sphere. This one was taken at 24 m.
Telecoms panoramic surveys
The view fromevery antenna.
Full spheres at each antenna height, with bearings marked and north shown, so planners can see exactly what each sector looks at. We have done this for the telecoms industry since 2002, for every UK mobile operator.

Building Elevation Survey
Every face,segment by segment.
Roofs, chimneys, faces and gutters, photographed close up and mapped to exactly where each frame sits on the building. Visual documentation only, not a structural assessment.
01 / 03
Photograph the whole face.
Every elevation is flown end to end and kept as real frames. Nothing is stitched or redrawn.

02 / 03
Trace it and number it.
We trace the elevation and split it into numbered segments, alternating teal and green, so every photo has an address.

03 / 03
Pick out the features.
Chimneys, flues and other details are outlined in yellow and matched to their own sets of photos.

About us
Surveyingsince 1992.
Formed in 1992 and incorporated in 1994, ATS Group Ltd has built its name on elevated photography, telecoms panoramic surveys and building elevation surveys, for clients across Swindon, Wiltshire and the wider UK.
We started out building drones and specialist kit, and that engineering habit shows in the work. Every survey is real photography, captured on site, then processed so you know exactly where each frame was taken: a bearing on a panorama, or a numbered segment on an elevation.
Our speciality is a bespoke service. We are always glad to talk through unusual or difficult sites.
Trading name
Aerial Survey Co is the name we use for survey work. The legal company remains ATS Group Ltd (Aerial Target Systems Ltd). Nothing about the business, CAA registration, insurance or client contracts changes; it is a trading name used publicly for surveys.
The parent site
Bespoke builds, CNC machining and prototyping live on the ATS Group site, a separate live site under the same company.
