Aerial intelligence for
critical infrastructure

Drone inspections without the shutdown. We capture photos, thermal data and 3D models from the air and turn them into reports your team can act on.

Core services

8 ways we put a sensor where people should not have to go

Every job starts with one question: what do you need to see? We plan the flight around the answer.

Drone view of a new bridge being built across a river, with cranes and steel girders on the deck 01

Construction progress monitoring

Regular flights give owners, contractors and lenders a consistent record of the site. Measure earthwork, verify progress and compare against the schedule.

  • Weekly or monthly capture cadence
  • Orthomosaic, point cloud and site model
  • Progress documentation for claims and disputes

Industrial inspections

Stacks, tanks, flares and process structures inspected while the plant keeps running. Find corrosion, leaks and heat anomalies without scaffolding or a shutdown.

  • Confined and elevated asset coverage
  • Radiometric thermal for hot spot detection
  • Fewer permits, less time at height
Drone view looking down on a lattice cell tower rising from a ring of autumn trees in a green field 03

Cell tower inspections

Structural and equipment capture on monopoles, self-supports, guyed and rooftop sites, delivered as the photo sets carriers expect for audits and close-outs.

  • Structural, equipment and mount photo sets
  • Azimuth, tilt and RAD center documentation
  • Pre-climb assessment that keeps crews grounded
Drone view of a large commercial roof covered in solar panels 04

Commercial roof inspections

Membranes, flashing, ponding and storm damage surveyed in a fraction of the time a walk takes. Thermal scans find trapped moisture so repairs go where they are needed.

  • High-resolution condition survey and roof map
  • Thermal moisture scan of the assembly
  • Insurance and warranty claim documentation

Utility inspections

Lines, poles, substations, solar and wind. Zoom and thermal imaging catch failing connections, damage and vegetation encroachment before they cause outages.

  • Corridor and right-of-way patrol
  • Thermal fault detection on connections and cells
  • Vegetation management support
Aerial view of a concrete hydroelectric dam holding back a large reservoir 06

Infrastructure inspections

Bridges, dams, culverts, roads and rail. Reach spans and embankments without lane closures or access equipment, and build a repeatable baseline.

  • Structural condition capture and defect mapping
  • Repeatable baselines for trend analysis
  • Fewer closures, less traffic control

Public safety support

Live aerial video for agencies and event operators: crowds, perimeters and search areas, working within your command structure.

  • Live downlink to incident command
  • Event, crowd and perimeter overwatch
  • Search support and scene documentation
Drone view of a river that has burst its banks and flooded the surrounding fields 08

Emergency response support

Fast deployment for floods, storms, fires and collapses, with usable imagery while the response is still underway.

  • Rapid deployment for active incidents
  • Damage assessment and extent mapping
  • Thermal scanning for hot spots and persons

The aircraft

One flight, three kinds of evidence

Our Matrice 30T class platform carries thermal, wide and zoom cameras and a laser rangefinder on one gimbal. One pass captures images, temperature and measurements together.

  • Radiometric thermal imaging
  • Wide and high-zoom optical cameras
  • Laser rangefinder for distance and position
  • Obstacle sensing around the aircraft
  • Weather-sealed for rain, wind and cold
  • Folds down for rapid redeploy between sites

How an engagement runs

Planned like an operation, not a photo shoot

1

Scope and airspace

We agree on assets, sensors and deliverables, then handle airspace approvals and the safety plan.

2

Flight operations

A certified pilot flies the mission. Automated flight paths keep repeat visits consistent.

3

Processing and analysis

Raw data becomes maps, models and thermal imagery, with findings located and prioritized.

4

Delivery and follow-up

You get a clear report plus the data. Repeat visits compare against the last one.

What you receive

Data that survives review

Everything we deliver is geolocated, timestamped and repeatable, ready for engineering reviews and claims.

Discuss a scope
  • High-resolution stillsClose-up detail of components and defects.
  • Radiometric thermalMoisture, faults and hot spots.
  • Orthomosaic mapsMeasurable, survey-grade site maps.
  • 3D models and point cloudsVolumes, distances and as-built checks.
  • Condition reportsPrioritized findings, ready to act on.
  • Video and live downlinkRecorded footage or a real-time feed.

Safety and compliance

The part that keeps your risk team comfortable

Advanced Operations certified

Flights operate under a Transport Canada Advanced Operations certificate, covering controlled airspace and work near people and structures.

Insured operations

Commercial liability coverage, with certificates available for your project on request.

Airspace discipline

NAV CANADA authorization where required. Airspace and site conditions checked before every flight.

Site integration

We brief your team, follow your site rules and keep the flight area clear.
