A selection of completed work with the actual capture numbers attached. Named references are provided during scoping, so you can speak directly to a client who has run this kind of work.

Featured case studies

01 / Alberta corridors / Pavement measurement

Ring road pavement measurement

A paving contractor needed measured quantities across a live ring road corridor. Approximately 250,000 m² of pavement across four corridors was captured and reconciled into a multi tab comparison workbook with a PDF scan report showing every polygon over the orthomosaic. Flight authorization was coordinated through the neighbouring military airspace before the window opened.

02 / Central Alberta / Terrain mapping

Aggregate pit terrain capture

An environmental engineering client required real world coordinates for pit volumes. The capture used NTRIP absolute positioning, producing 1,000 aligned frames at 2.51 cm/px with 0.01 m RMSE. RTK tagged source imagery was delivered alongside processed outputs so the client's own photogrammetry software could reprocess independently.

03 / Spruce Grove area / Thermal inspection

Landfill thermal hot spot program

Subsurface hot spot detection across an active landfill, flown pre dawn with a radiometric thermal payload at 100 m AGL for a 13 cm/px thermal ground sample distance with 90 percent front and 85 percent side overlap. Findings were issued as a print ready field data sheet with the thermal orthomosaic.

04 / Southern Alberta / Asset inspection

Wind farm asset position program

An 83 turbine site required a verified position file before any aircraft mobilised. Positions were built from the national turbine dataset, cross checked against client records and delivered as a KMZ, with image licensing and usage rights issued as a standalone document alongside the services agreement.

05 / Edmonton / Terrain mapping

Golf course terrain model

A club needed accurate terrain for course planning without the cost and mobilisation of a lidar payload. RTK photogrammetry processed through WebODM Lightning, produced the terrain model and contour set, with a separate menu of visual assets available for club marketing use.

06 / Edmonton / Construction documentation

Institutional build and opening day

Construction documented through the build, then live coverage on opening day with outdoor flight held at roughly 30 m standoff from the gathering and a separate interior flight of the empty building with no occupants present. Delivered as a 90 second edited film with one revision round.
