Our Services

From ground-truth site surveys to thermal roof inspections, every mission is executed with precision and delivered as engineer-ready data.

01

Construction Progress Tracking

Scheduled drone flights document site conditions across every phase — from grading and earthwork to structural framing. Deliver photo-accurate progress reports to owners and project managers with GPS-referenced orthomosaics and annotated overviews.

OrthomosaicSite OverviewsProgress ReportsAnnotation
02

Aerial Mapping & 3D Modeling

High-density photogrammetric mapping producing centimeter-accurate surface models. DTMs strip vegetation to expose true bare-earth terrain. DSMs capture every surface feature. 3D mesh models support visualization, volume calculations, and design review.

03

LiDAR Point Cloud Capture

The M350 RTK with Zenmuse L2 LiDAR delivers dense, GPS-accurate point clouds capable of penetrating canopy cover. Ideal for corridor surveys, drainage analysis, and any project where photogrammetry alone can't see the ground.

Thermal Roof & Infrastructure Inspections

Radiometric thermal imaging detects heat loss, moisture intrusion, insulation failures, and electrical anomalies that are invisible to the naked eye. Documented with georeferenced RGB+thermal side-by-side comparison reports.

Arlington 3D Terrain Visualization
3D Terrain Model
Site Grading & Drainage Analysis
Annotated 3D photogrammetric model showing drainage pit locations, stockpile volumes, berm structures, and slope transitions. Generated from oblique drone imagery — reveals site geometry impossible to interpret from standard nadir mapping alone.
Cell Tower Aerial Inspection
Infrastructure Inspection
Telecommunications Tower Inspection
Close-proximity aerial inspection of antenna array and tower structure. Drone inspection eliminates the need for tower climbers on routine documentation — delivering high-resolution imagery of equipment condition, mounting hardware, and structural elements safely and efficiently.
Publix LiDAR Point Cloud
Zenmuse L2 LiDAR M350 RTK · Crosshatch Mission
LiDAR Point Cloud — Elevation + Intensity
Crosshatch LiDAR mission over the Publix construction site using the Zenmuse L2 aboard the M350 RTK. Point cloud colorized by Z-elevation and enhanced with return intensity — revealing surface texture, drainage geometry, road structure, and vegetation height. Green = graded site · Blue = drainage low points · Orange/Red = tree canopy · Black = road surface.

Thermal Roof Inspection — Residential Sample
Thermal - Ridge Heat Loss Thermal
RGB - Ridge View RGB
Ridge Heat Signature
Thermal imaging reveals elevated heat along the ridge line — a clear indicator of insulation gaps or air infiltration at the peak. Invisible to standard inspection.
Thermal - Full Roof Overview Thermal
RGB - Full Roof Overview RGB
Full Roof Thermal Survey
Nadir overhead pass captures the complete roof envelope. Thermal variance across the field identifies inconsistent insulation coverage and potential moisture retention zones.
Thermal - Dormer Detail Thermal
RGB - Dormer Detail RGB
Dormer & Skylight Thermal Detail
Thermal detail at dormers and penetrations reveals heat loss pathways around framing and flashing — critical failure points that roofing contractors miss on visual-only inspections.

How It Works

From Mission to Deliverable

A straightforward process built around your project schedule and turnaround requirements.

01

Project Scoping

Share site location, deliverable needs, and timeline. We'll confirm scope, airspace, and provide a fixed-price quote — usually same day.

02

Flight Planning

We file required waivers, plan GCP placement, and coordinate site access. Mission parameters are optimized for your accuracy specification.

03

Data Capture

Autonomous crosshatch missions with RTK positioning. LiDAR, RGB, and thermal captured simultaneously where applicable.

04

Processing & QA

Pix4D, WebODM, and CloudCompare pipelines with accuracy checks against ground control. Every output reviewed before delivery.

05

Delivery — 48 Hours

Files delivered via secure download link in your requested formats. Follow-up support included at no charge.
