Pipeline ROW surveillance, roof inspections, solar thermal scanning, tower climbs replaced by flights. DJI Matrice 350 RTK with dual thermal and visual cameras, GPS-tagged imagery, and PHMSA-compliant deliverables — at 50-70% less than helicopter.
Right-of-way surveillance for gathering systems, transmission lines, and tank batteries. Identify encroachments, erosion, third-party damage, and vegetation overgrowth. PHMSA compliant reporting with GPS-tagged anomalies.
Residential and commercial roof inspection without ladders or foot traffic. High-resolution visual imagery plus thermal scanning to detect moisture intrusion, insulation gaps, and structural anomalies. Insurance-quality documentation.
Thermal scanning detects hot spots, cell defects, bypass diode failures, and connection issues in solar arrays. Non-contact, non-invasive, completed during peak production hours for maximum diagnostic value.
Telecom tower and powerline inspection without climbing. Close-range visual documentation of antennas, connections, insulators, and structural members. Eliminates the cost and risk of tower crews for routine inspections.
Scheduled flyovers for construction documentation. Compare current state to design plans, track earthwork volumes, and build visual timelines for stakeholder reporting. Pairs with drone mapping for volumetric data.
Enterprise inspection platform with dual-sensor payload, RTK positioning, and 55-minute flight time. Full specs at DJI Matrice 350 RTK.
Thermal (640×512) and visual (48MP) cameras on a single gimbal. Switch between sensors mid-flight for comprehensive documentation.
Centimeter-level GPS accuracy. Every image is precisely geotagged for repeatable inspection corridors and accurate anomaly mapping.
Extended endurance for long pipeline runs and large commercial roofs. Hot-swap batteries for continuous operations without downtime.
Operates in light rain and high winds. North Louisiana weather doesn't ground us for most conditions.
Every photo GPS-tagged with lat/long, altitude, and timestamp. Import directly into GIS software, Google Earth, or your asset management platform.
Heat maps with flagged anomalies, temperature readings, and severity classification. Pipeline hot spots, roof moisture intrusion, solar cell defects — quantified and located.
For recurring inspections: side-by-side comparison of current vs. previous imagery. Track vegetation encroachment, erosion progression, or construction progress with visual evidence.
Pricing depends on asset type, size, and deliverable requirements. These ranges cover most jobs.
Visual + thermal scan. Includes georeferenced imagery and written condition report. Most homes completed in 15-30 minutes.
Larger footprint, detailed thermal analysis, and insurance-grade reporting. Schools, warehouses, churches, retail.
Pipeline ROW inspection priced per-mile. Significantly cheaper than rotary-wing with higher-resolution data. Contact for project quote.
Priced by asset count and complexity. Tower inspections, solar arrays, and construction monitoring quoted per project.
Drone pipeline ROW inspection runs 50-70% less than helicopter inspection. Exact pricing is per-mile and depends on pipeline length, terrain, access conditions, and reporting requirements. For Haynesville Shale gathering systems, call (318) 245-4047 for a project-specific quote. We cover the full scope: visual anomalies, thermal scans, encroachment documentation, and GPS-tagged deliverables.
Yes. Our drone pipeline inspections meet PHMSA requirements for right-of-way surveillance under 49 CFR 192 and 195. Deliverables include georeferenced imagery with GPS coordinates for every anomaly, encroachment, or condition noted. All flights comply with FAA Part 107 regulations.
Standard deliverables: high-resolution georeferenced imagery (GPS-tagged, timestamped), thermal anomaly reports with heat maps and severity classification, and a written condition summary. For recurring inspections, we provide change-over-time analysis comparing current to previous flights. All data exports in standard formats compatible with GIS platforms, Google Earth, and common asset management systems.
We need either the homeowner or an authorized representative present during the flight for safety coordination and property access. The inspection itself is quick — 15-30 minutes for most residential roofs. No interior access needed; we operate entirely from the exterior and airspace above your property.
Cost: 50-70% less. Resolution: drones fly lower (200-400 ft AGL vs 500+ for helicopters), capturing higher-detail imagery. Flexibility: drones hover and re-fly anomalies in real time. Mobilization: we deploy from a truck in under an hour, no helipad required. The trade-off is speed on long-distance runs — helicopters cover more miles per hour. But per-mile data quality from drones is substantially higher.
