Forestry

Our advanced UAV technology allows us to capture imagery from various angles and heights. This allows us to determine if a block has reached free growing status. We can survey free to grow areas, which can be dangerous due to dense brush, steep ground, and decaying slash. Our services are not only safer but cost less and more are more time efficient. We also specialize in burn severity surveys. We can help map forestry cut blocks determining the burn severity to help plan for reforestation. Our surveys will assist in on the ground stocking and soil conditions. Our products are used for documenting post wild fire conditions. Our surveys are efficient and can cover hundreds of hectacres per day. Other forestry services are forest mapping, biodiversity mapping and precision forestry management, measuring canopy gaps and measuring forest stockpiles. UAV surveys are more accurate, cheaper and safer than traditional surveying techniques!

Mapping and 3D Modeling

Using advanced photogrammetry software and hundreds of UAV based photos we create high resolution maps and corresponding 3D models of what clients are interested in. Whether that is a construction project, vineyard, agricultural field, forestry plantation, landslide, incident area or real estate our models will help clients manage their business. UAVs enabled targeted mapping projects at affordable prices.

Construction Management and Monitoring

UAVs provide construction managers with an accurate status of a construction project. Inspection services include building surveys that can identify and locate imperfections or damage to a structure. Roof inspections can include high-resolution images that reveal defects to gutters, parapets, and skylights. Aerial inspection of builds and roofs are quicker and safer. Real-time detailed photos and videos allow instant detailed investigation of identified issues without having additional personnel or equipment being brought in. Infrared photography can help identify costly heating and cooling leaks.

Drone aerial photography and video is also available for the inspection of bridges and other infrastructure. Drone inspections save time, are safer and cut costs. Drones also enable access to the most difficult to reach infrastructure with little to no preparation or notice in advance required.

Real Estate Services

Our UAV services are available for real estate marketing. Our UAVs create high-resolution aerial photos and videos from a perspective not possible on the ground, drawing in perspective buyers. Real estate agents know the value of a unique and engaging video of real estate.

Environment

Landslides can be devastating to the environment and a safety hazard to people and property. UAVs can help us understand and evaluate this phenomenon. UAVs can determine the point of commencement and the scale and extent of the soil movement. Using mapping capabilities, the exact size of the disturbance can be determined. Determination of blocked roads, service roads and trails, debris fields impact on watersheds can all be determined from a safe distance. The maps and imagery are used for Geological Engineers to assess for safety and management options and forest professionals can determine re-forestation and salvage options. Environmental projects include fish stock counts, sedimentation tracking, nest monitoring, wildlife identification and habitat restoration, and estuary monitoring.

Precision Agriculture and Vineyards

Agriculture UAV precision including RGB, Thermal IR, and NDVI imaging. These technologies allow efficient and accurate monitoring of large crop fields and vineyards. The benefits include early identification of plant health as fungal and pest infestations, issues with irrigation coverage, locations of leaks, and accurate crop estimates. UAV imagery is also an indispensable tool to golf course grounds managers who are trying to efficiently mange turf conditions.

Electric Utility and Solar Panel Inspections

Our services include remote electric pole inspection and solar panel inspection. UAVs are ideal for ensuring that electric poles and infrastructure are in proper order. Using advanced imagery technology we can also determine if all cells in solar panels are functioning properly. We use thermal imagery, visible light imagery, and software to identify for any problems with each individual solar panel.

Incident Investigation

UAV imagery can be an excellent tool to help measure, evaluate, and understand an incident. In addition, photo, video, mapping and 3D modeling allows investigators to better understand an incident and gain greater insight.
