Mapping · Inspection · Volumetrics

Aerial data, flown to spec.

Orthomosaics, surface models, earthwork quantities, and close-range inspection imagery — PPK-corrected, projected to your coordinate system, and delivered in the formats your software already opens. Flown on a repeatable plan so this month's capture compares cleanly against last month's, and flown so nobody has to climb anything to get it.

What we fly.

Tell us the site and the deliverable. One mission or a standing monthly capture — the workflow is the same either way, and the basis of every number we hand back is stated in writing.

Deliverables

Accuracy you can state, not just claim

Every capture leaves here with its numbers attached: the ground sample distance it was flown at, the positioning method behind it, the control used to check it, and the coordinate system and vertical datum it sits in. If a deliverable needs a tighter tolerance than a flight can honestly hold, you hear that before the quote, not after the data lands.

Then it arrives usable. GeoTIFF, LAS or LAZ, DXF, TIN, PDF — whatever your engineering and project management tools open natively — organized so a project engineer can find the right file without calling us first.

Repeatability

Same lines, same altitude, same overlap

A progress capture is only worth something if it compares to the one before it. Flights fly a saved plan — identical lines, altitude, overlap, and camera settings — so the difference between two datasets is the site changing, not the flight changing.

That makes the monthly record do real work: earthwork moved between captures, a slab poured on the date it was poured, a condition documented before it became a dispute. Six months in, you have a timeline nobody has to reconstruct from phone photos.

Who's flying it

Flown by someone who teaches this, on sites we already know

The missions are flown by the same person who trains other companies' pilots and writes the procedures they operate under. That is an unusual way around, and it shows up in the small decisions: the preflight that catches the problem on the ground, the call to stop when the wind or the airspace says stop, the capture flown right the first time because a reflight costs you a week.

The background is electrical engineering, and the work has been on construction sites, energy and utility assets, and public infrastructure. We know what we're imaging and what your engineers need to see in the result — a different job than producing something that looks good in a presentation.

Also available

We also build drone programs.

Some companies would rather fly this work themselves. For them we build the capability in-house instead of selling them flights: the business case, the equipment specification, the written procedures, the risk and safety case, Part 107 training on their own site, and the recurrent support that keeps it current as the regulations move.

It's the second line of business, not the first — but it's the reason the procedures behind our own flights hold up.

Who we fly for

Construction

Monthly progress captures, earthwork quantities for pay applications, and a site record that holds up when a schedule claim shows up.

Energy & Utilities

Transmission, substations, solar, and wind — asset imagery captured without sending a crew near an energized component or scheduling an outage.

Infrastructure

Bridges, corridors, and roadway assets documented at close range, with condition imagery tied to location for the inspection record.

Public Agencies

Cities, counties, and districts — planning base maps, stockpile and landfill volumes, and capital project documentation on a public-record trail.

Send us the site and the deliverable.

A location, what you need out of it, and the format it has to land in. You'll get a scope, a price, and an honest read on what a flight can and can't hold — usually within one business day.
