Drone Services for Environmental Projects

Part 107 workflows for compliance, inspections, volumetrics, mine planning, reclamation, wetlands, and thermal screening.

Upcoming service offering

Drone services are launching soon

We’re currently finalizing equipment selection and compliance workflows. In the meantime, we can scope your project, estimate deliverables, and schedule field work once equipment is confirmed.
WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW
Pre-scope your project
Share site location, objectives (volumes, SWPPP, reclamation), and desired outputs (PDF/GeoTIFF/DXF).
WHAT WE’RE FINALIZING
Aircraft & sensor selection
We’re evaluating options to balance cost, reliability, and compliance risk before purchase.
TIMING
Pilot projects available
If you have a near-term need, contact us—we may be able to support via partner flights or scheduled availability.
Note Services shown below reflect our planned offerings and workflow design; availability depends on equipment confirmation.

We deliver survey-grade outputs with compliance-grade documentation: plan → fly → process → publish. You get maps that stand up in reviews.

Field Capture & Flight Ops

Part 107 compliant flight planning with site safety, airspace checks, and repeatable capture that supports change detection.

  • Preflight: objectives, airspace, hazards, communications
  • Capture: RGB/thermal (as applicable), consistent flight lines
  • Ground truth: optional GCPs/checkpoints for accuracy
  • Documentation: flight log, conditions, equipment notes
Processing & Deliverables

Clean, usable outputs: orthos, DSMs, contours, and annotated PDFs—plus the data exports your engineers and regulators expect.

  • Outputs: Ortho, DSM/DTM (when possible), contours, 3D
  • Exports: GeoTIFF, DXF, SHP/GeoJSON, PDF map books
  • Change tracking: before/after overlays, volume deltas
  • File-ready: named layers, legends, scale bars
Finish-line workflow

Plan → Fly → Process → Publish

Send the site location, objective (volume, SWPPP, reclamation, plan set), and desired outputs (PDF/GeoTIFF/DXF). We’ll respond with a tight scope + timeline.
1Plan
Objective, airspace, hazards, control points, and flight lines.
2Fly
Repeatable capture (RGB/thermal) with field logs and QA notes.
3Process
Photogrammetry/thermal review, mosaics, surfaces, and checks.
4Publish
PDF map set + GIS/CAD exports + retention-ready deliverables.
Tip For compliance work, repeat flights (same lines, same points) make your change detection and corrective action proof much stronger.
Thermal Screening (Air & Refrigerants)

Thermal imaging to help flag air emission plumes, hot spots, and potential refrigerant leaks (site- & weather-dependent).

Pond Stratification & Wastewater

Surface temperature differentials and inflow/outfall mapping to manage stratification and reduce thermal pollution risk.

Mine Planning, Reclamation & Wetlands

High-resolution mapping for planning, reclamation progress, wetlands context, and agency-ready exhibits.

Stockpiles & Construction Monitoring

Volumetrics, cut/fill, haul-road and staging updates to keep projects aligned with design and budgets.

Stormwater Inspections

Outfalls, BMPs, sediment accumulation, and post-storm condition checks—photologs that feed your SWPPP.

Stormwater & SPCC Site Plans

Orthos, DSMs, and markups for SWPPP/SPCC: flow paths, secondary containment, access, and emergency layout.
