Where we fly / Red Deer
Drone services in Red Deer and central Alberta
Red Deer sits about an hour and a half down the QEII from our base, close enough for a same day trip and halfway to Calgary, so it often rides along with work at either end.
Central Alberta work is mostly measurement. Aggregate pits along the Red Deer River and the gravel country around Innisfail and Penhold ask for terrain and volume figures on a repeating cycle, so the numbers can be compared between reporting periods. Pipeline corridors and processing sites east toward Joffre bring thermal and condition work.
The farmland around Lacombe, Ponoka and Sylvan Lake runs on the crop calendar. Multispectral flights are booked around the decision the map has to support, whether that is in season scouting, a spray plan or drainage after a wet spring.
Sites near Red Deer Regional Airport, south of the city, are checked against its airspace before we quote, and authorization is filed through NAV Drone when it applies.
If your timing is flexible by a week, say so. We regularly fold Red Deer work into a trip that already has sites in Edmonton or Calgary.

Questions from Red Deer clients
Is there a travel charge for Red Deer?
Travel is part of the project value and stated in the quote. Red Deer is a same day drive, and joining a trip that already has central Alberta sites keeps it low.
Do you measure gravel pits near Red Deer?
Yes. Pit terrain and stockpile volumes are the most common central Alberta request, flown the same way each time so period to period figures compare cleanly.
Nearby: Edmonton, Calgary, Leduc and Nisku. See everywhere we fly.
