​​General Questions

Q: What industries can benefit from drone services?
A: Our drone services cater to a variety of industries, including:

• Quarry & Mining – Stockpile measurement, erosion monitoring, and compliance tracking.

• Construction – Progress monitoring, site planning, and safety inspections.

• Real Estate – Aerial photography and videography for property marketing.

• Agriculture – Crop health analysis, field mapping, and irrigation planning.

• Infrastructure & Utilities – Bridge, powerline, and pipeline inspections.

• Environmental & Land Management – Erosion control, land surveys, and reclamation tracking.

Q: How accurate is drone mapping compared to traditional survey methods?
A: Drone photogrammetry provides accuracy within 1-3 cm, making it comparable to traditional ground surveys—but at a fraction of the time and cost.

Q: Do I need a special permit to use drone services?
A: No, we handle all necessary regulatory approvals and ensure compliance with aviation authorities, such as Transport Canada or the FAA.

Q: How long does it take to complete a drone survey?
A: The duration depends on the project size, but most drone surveys can be completed within a few hours, with processed data available within 24-48 hours.

 

Quarry & Mining

Q: How do drones improve quarry efficiency?
A: Drones help quarry operators:

• Measure stockpiles accurately for better inventory control.

• Monitor erosion, drainage, and land changes.

• Improve blast planning with 3D topographical models.

Q: How often should drone mapping be used in a quarry?
A: Many quarries schedule monthly or quarterly drone flights for inventory tracking and compliance reporting.

 

Construction & Infrastructure

Q: How can drones help with construction site monitoring?
A: Drones offer real-time progress tracking, safety inspections, and topographic mapping to keep projects on schedule and within budget.

Q: Can drones replace traditional construction surveys?
A: While drones complement traditional surveying, they reduce the need for frequent manual measurements and provide faster, more cost-effective site data.

Q: Can drones be used for infrastructure inspections?
A: Yes! Drones safely inspect bridges, rooftops, pipelines, cell towers, and powerlines, detecting structural issues without putting workers at risk.

 

Real Estate & Property Inspections

Q: How do drones enhance real estate marketing?
A: Aerial photography and video provide stunning perspectives that make listings stand out, increasing engagement and property value.

Q: Can drones be used for roof inspections?
A: Yes! Drones capture detailed roof images to assess damage, identify leaks, and reduce the need for dangerous manual inspections.

Q: Do you offer thermal imaging for property inspections?
A: Absolutely! Thermal drone scans detect heat loss, insulation issues, and water damage, making them ideal for home inspections and commercial properties.

 

Mapping & Land Surveys

Q: How accurate is drone-based mapping?
A: Our drones produce high-resolution 3D maps with centimeter-level accuracy, making them perfect for topographic surveys, boundary mapping, and site planning.

Q: Can drones be used for large-scale land development?
A: Yes! Whether for urban planning, forestry, or agriculture, drone mapping provides detailed terrain models that aid in decision-making.

Q: Do you provide post-processing services?
A: Yes, we offer 3D modeling, orthomosaic mapping, volume calculations, and geospatial analysis for all drone survey projects.

 

Regulatory & Technical Questions

Q: Are your drone pilots certified?
A: Yes! All our drone pilots are licensed and certified under aviation regulations to ensure safe and legal operations.

Q: What type of drones do you use?
A: We use high-end commercial drones equipped with 4K cameras, LiDAR, thermal imaging, and multispectral sensors based on the project’s needs.

Q: What file formats do you provide for deliverables?
A: We deliver data in GeoTIFF, LAS, KML, DXF, and other industry-standard formats, depending on your project requirements.
