About Us

Welcome to Kapcher, data acquisition specialists at the forefront of information collection and analysis. We provide tailored solutions for asset management in industries like infrastructure, building and facility management, road and rail. Our focus is to bring your physical assets into the digital world using cutting-edge technology. We aim to capture and provide accurate data to help you gain a better understanding of your physical assets condition.

Kapcher is an established name in asset inspection, data collection, laser scanning and 3D modelling. Our expertise results in better performance from your assets, reduced maintenance costs and an increased lifespan. You can forget about paper reports and reactive maintenance. Whether it’s from drones, helicopters, ground base imagery or laser scanning, we’ll design methods to collect information and provide the most accurate representation of your asset, saving you time and helping you make informed decisions around their maintenance.

Whether it’s by land, sea or air, we create a customised asset inspection service to give you a complete picture of your property’s condition.

Kapcher is trusted by organisations across different industries to make informed choices about the management of their assets.

How Can Kapcher Help You?

Companies We Work With

How Are We Different?

What sets Kapcher apart is that we are not limited to a single method of asset inspection and data collection. We use a combination of aerial imagery via helicopters and drones, and 3D laser scanning surveys to generate models that present a precise, holistic view of your assets.

In addition to 3D surveys and data acquisition services, we will provide you with the information you need to effectively manage your assets and increase their lifespan.

The data Kapcher will collect can be seamlessly integrated with your existing asset management software. No need to worry about replacing or reconfiguring your current facility management system. Kapcher allows you to import reports required for decision-making into GIS, Trendspec or any other platform.

At Kapcher, we think outside the box to provide our clients with tailor-made solutions. We’re more than a drone company or an inspection crew. We provide end-to-end solutions for asset inspection and management.

Why Choose Kapcher?

How We Do It

3D Modelling

Our 3D modelling services contribute to more effective asset performance monitoring. We achieve this by incorporating 3D laser scanning and technologies like Photogrammetry and LIDAR.

Photogrammetry

We use this method to collect data about the object remotely using a series of images taken from different angles. Photogrammetry essentially turns a collection of 2D images of an asset into a textured 3D model.

LiDAR

Light Detection and Ranging is technology that enables us to generate 3D renders of objects using laser beams. The device projects a laser light signal to the object and measures the time taken for the signal to bounce back. LiDAR can generate a highly accurate model that is vital to an asset condition assessment.

Industries We Serve

Infrastructure

Whether it’s a road or rail audit, or multiple bridge inspections, we provide comprehensive data to assist with maintenance decision-making. We use our technology to provide forensic engineering on large scale infrastructure projects. Using a combination of 3D laser mapping and aerial surveys, we provide an in depth condition assessment.

Construction

Your contractors and engineers don’t have to be on the ground for you to walk them through the site they will be working on. Our 3D model site inductions provide an interactive and cost effective method of inducting new staff and contractors into your facility.

Building audits

Internal and external building surveys are crucial to making informed decisions on property monitoring and asset management. 3D modelling makes it easy to identify defects in your roof, facade or internal structure such as damaged roofs, rust spots, leakages, debris and broken windows. Kapcher’s accurate defect identification can help reduce maintenance costs by up to 30%.

Bespoke solutions

Kapcher’s 3D modelling technology lends itself to other industries outside the construction and infrastructure space. Whether you’re looking to create a promotional video, a 3D model to go with your sales pitch or provide a virtual tour, our services can be customised to offer a point of difference for your business.

Why Choose Kapcher's Asset Inspection Services?

Without quality data, management won’t have the tools to make asset maintenance calls that are efficient and cost effective. Asset and building inspection offers you an opportunity to better understand the condition of your assets and make strategic decisions about their maintenance.

Kapcher offers a cost-effective, timely way of keeping tabs on those critical assets. Relying on technicians to physically check on assets is time-consuming and inaccurate due to human error. The exercise can also expose technicians to high risk scenarios.

We use a combination of remote photography and laser scanning to create a much more accurate picture of your assets and buildings than a physical inspection could produce. Rather than relying on just a sample of data captured from the site, Kapcher will provide you with precise information to give you a holistic view of your asset portfolio.

We have the technology to accurately collect data about your building’s roof, facade and interior, and integrate this into any facility management system.

Land Survey Data and Terrain Mapping

We have used our cutting-edge technology to do large-scale suburban mapping. Using mobile mapping including photogrammetry, we can map previously uncharted terrain without needing boots on the ground. This allows us to obtain an accurate 3D rendering of the area, capturing information about any aspect of the environment. Our data acquisition services can be achieved at a significantly lower cost.

When it comes to asset performance monitoring, Kapcher is your go-to land based and aerial survey company. Leaning on our experience in road surveys, highway surveying, aerial topography monitoring and aerial survey services, we have the experience and technology to help you make informed decisions around the condition of your assets.

Why should we digitise our assets?

Digital representations of assets provides you with a reliable, accurate and risk-free means of assessing their condition. You will be able to quickly pinpoint faults in the asset that need repairs without having to pore over piles of photographs. A 3D model of the asset will enable you to work collaboratively with colleagues remotely, removing the need to coordinate a physical site visit. Furthermore, you will have a handy archive of the data whenever it’s needed.

Is your solution a more expensive option?

o. In fact, we will help you get your asset management done in a much more cost-effective way than traditional inspections.

What industries do you service?

Our services are available to organisations in any industry that require aerial survey services or roofs and facade inspection for their buildings. We serve clients in infrastructure planning, contractors in the construction space as well as large scale property owners.

Can we integrate your data into our existing workflow or asset management software?

Yes, the output from Kapcher’s system can be readily imported into Trendspec, GIS and any other facility management platform.

What is LiDAR?

Short for Light Detection and Ranging, this is a method of remote collection of data and imaging. It produces a digital representation of a section of the Earth by bouncing laser light off its surface from different angles. Millions of laser beams are projected in a pulsed form from an airborne device and the reflected signal scanned by a GPS receiver. The ‘ranging’ in the name refers to how the device measures variable distances. LiDAR is used to provide accurate mapping both on dry land and underwater.

What is Photogrammetry?

This is a digital imaging technique that is used to create orthomosaics and digital terrain models among other types of graphical representations of real world objects. It works by analysing the change in position of an object from two or more images using specialised processing software to create a 3D model. The images are usually photographs taken aerially from a helicopter or drone.
