Drones for inspections
“Inspection” is a loaded word. We deliver high-resolution, geotagged-ish visual records from safe standoffs. Structural sign-off stays with licensed professionals who touch the asset; we make their travel more targeted.
What cameras see well
Missing shingles, displaced flashing, obvious corrosion staining, guy-wire geometry, and debris fields are visible-light wins — especially with oblique angles that mimic how a roofer’s eye sweeps a slope. Pair with cost-aware triage when budgets are tight.
Repeatability matters
Progress and change detection lean on consistent altitude, heading, and sun angle where possible. That discipline connects to construction progress documentation and engineering workflows in engineering inspections.
Standards landscape (high level)
Industry groups publish guidance on UAS-assisted inspections in specific sectors; ASTM International hosts consensus work such as ASTM E2924 for certain industrial surface inspection contexts — always read standards in concert with your engineer’s specification.
Thermal and other sensors
When infrared is on the table, jump to thermal drone data when it helps — interpretation is its own skill.
