Mapping and Inspections

Challenges We Help Address

Many sites and structures are difficult, time-consuming, or unsafe to assess from the ground alone. Aerial mapping and inspection provide a safer, more efficient way to understand conditions and monitor change over time.

Common challenges we help support include:

  • Evaluating large or complex sites efficiently

  • Inspecting roofs, structures, or elevated features without climbing

  • Documenting construction or development progress

  • Gaining a clear overview of facilities or infrastructure

  • Creating visual records for inventorying, planning, reporting, or assessment

By capturing high-resolution aerial data from above, we help clients gain a clear understanding of site conditions, structures, and infrastructure without placing personnel at risk.

Our mapping and inspection services focus on accuracy, safety, and clarity—delivering visuals and data that support informed decisions across construction, utilities, land management, and infrastructure projects.

Our Mapping & Inspection Services

Each mapping or inspection mission is planned around the site, scope, and purpose of the project. Services may include:

  • Orthomosaic mapping for land, sites, and facilities
    High-resolution, measurable aerial maps that provide an accurate overview of site layout and features.

  • Construction and development documentation
    Capturing consistent aerial imagery to track progress, site changes, stock, and overall development conditions.

  • Roof and structure inspections
    Visual assessment of roofs and elevated structures without the need for ladders or lifts.

  • Infrastructure and utility inspection workflows
    Supporting visual inspection of facilities, access areas, and infrastructure components.

  • Site condition imagery for planning and evaluation
    Providing clear visuals to support maintenance planning, assessments, and decision-making.

How the Process Works

Our mapping and inspection workflow is straightforward and safety-focused:

  1. Initial discussion to understand site conditions and project goals

  2. Site review, airspace evaluation, and flight planning

  3. Aerial data collection conducted under appropriate conditions

  4. Data processing and quality review

  5. Delivery of clear visuals and organized outputs to support decision-making

Why Use Aerial Mapping & Inspection?

Aerial mapping and inspection allow for safer site assessment, improved visibility, and efficient documentation. By reducing the need for physical access to difficult or elevated areas, aerial data helps minimize risk while providing a broader, more complete perspective of site conditions.

This approach supports better planning, monitoring, and communication across projects.
