Aerial Inspections

“Able to leap tall buildings” is rarely a job requirement, but being able to identify issues at the top, bottom, or sides of a structure is very common. Buildings and land are assets that require regular care, and of course condition documentation. Sky Photos Aerial inspection services can help to ensure the smooth operation and maintenance of any commercial site. 

Inspection basics

Commercial sites usually need a significant amount of documentation to be prepared for either the expected maintenance or the unexpected incident. Photography (visual or thermal) can provide current condition documentation or create a basis for add on 3d modeling. 

Inspection documentation also provides mission critical documentation for incident response. This creates situations that can help mitigate risk. 

The biggest way that aerial inspection by drones saves you money and time is by mitigating risk. Instead of sending a person up a ladder or on to a roof, sending a remote sensor into the situation is a well known and acceptable mitigation risk. All of you who speak in OSHA language know of what I speak.

Conversely, having outdated site imagery can cost you money, identifying outdated equipment or labeling on your site.
