Stockpile volumes you can put in a report

Volumetric surveys across pits, stockpiles and haul roads, flown on a repeatable plan with ground control on every job. You get the orthomosaic, the surface model and a volume figure with the method and the check results stated alongside it — not a number with no working shown.

Flown to the same plan each visit, so this quarter is actually comparable to last quarter.

Progress documentation that settles the argument

Fixed flight paths on a set interval, so every pass lines up with the one before it. Your PM, your owner and your subs all end up looking at the same dated imagery instead of three different phone photos taken from three different corners of the site.

Same plan, same altitude, same overlap, every visit. Change you can measure instead of eyeball.

Roof and asset inspection without the lift

Close-range visual inspection of roofs, structures and fixed equipment — no scaffold, no boom lift, nobody in a harness. Findings come back tagged to their location on a site map, so a repair crew can be sent to the right spot the first time.

Flown as a multi-mission commercial roof inspection series in June 2026.

Ground control, verified datums, documented QC

Ground control points placed and shot on every mapping job, with checkpoints held back for independent verification. The QC record ships with the data. When your surveyor or a permitting authority asks how the numbers were produced, the answer is already in the file.

Processed to fit the workflow you already run, rather than forcing you onto ours.

Instrument-grade

A map you can build on — not just look at.

Ground control on every job, verified datums, and a QC record that holds up to a surveyor or a permitting authority. The pilot who scopes your job flies it, processes it, and stands behind the numbers — no handoffs.

Airspace reviewAuthorization clearedAirspace review

Airspace and access sorted before the date

Authorization, controlled-airspace coordination and site-specific safety paperwork handled in advance. You don't get a call the morning of the flight explaining why the aircraft can't go up.

Scheduled around your operation, not the other way around.

Cleared for sites most operators can't enter

Active mines, regulated facilities and job sites with real safety programs. OSHA, MSHA and RAD II Level 2 on file, airspace authorization handled before the date, and a pilot who worked construction and drilling long before he flew anything commercially.

The certifications aren't decoration. They're the reason you don't have to assign someone to escort me.

One pilot, start to finish

The person who scopes your job is the person who flies it, processes it and delivers it. No subcontracted pilot who has never seen the site, no processing queue in another time zone, no handoff where the context quietly goes missing.
