Oil & Gas Intelligence

RESIDENTIAL/COMMERICAL REAL ESTATE

Make your listings stand out with high-resolution, aerial images or ultra high-definition video (according to MLS statistics, homes with aerial images sell 68 percent faster).
Wow clients with 3D site & structure modeling.
Use geo-referenced, annotated maps to show potential buyers nearby features & amenities.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

Construction

More affordable than aerial images from full-sized aircraft.
Safer/more efficient than using ground personnel for surveys/inspections/reports.
More frequent, complete and up-to-date data for project management/progress reports.
Generate architectural overlays, 3D site & structure modeling.
Volumetric measurements (useful for monitoring stockpiles of costly resources like gravel and sand).
4K ultra high-definition cameras provide more precise details (i.e. cracks/corrosion) from above.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

Surveying and Aerial Mapping

Right-of-way/dike surveys.
Fully automated, safer, cost-effective inspections of pipelines, flare stacks, topside, under deck, splash zones, etc. (and no down-time/shut-down).
Oil spill measurements.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

Insurance & Claims

Economical and safe way to do costly inspections for claims and risk evaluation.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

Agriculture / Ranching / Environmental

Cut costs, increase yields with more precise, timely data via aerial mapping.
More accurately assess crop health/damage (near-infrared/NDVI).
Plan irrigation & drainage repair.
Monitor livestock/wildlife.
Crop scout to detect parasites, fungus.
Compile plant counts/analyze plant establishments.
Generate better variable rate prescriptions.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

Utilities

Right-of-way surveys.
Safer, quicker, automated field inspections.
More precise, cost-effective assessment of maintenance needs.
LiDAR-generated topographic point cloud surveys for mapping out power lines.
High-resolution aerial imaging capturing the smallest risks in grid components.
Quick assessment of storm/disaster damage.
Thermal imaging detection of loose connections.
3D maps of nearby vegetation.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

Telecom

Tower inspections (LiDAR/topographic point clouds).
Radio planning.
Line-of-sight testing.
Network optimization ahead of large-scale events.

Oil & Gas Intelligence

Military / Law Enforcements / First Responser

Search & rescue (thermal imaging).
