Aerial Intelligence for Real-World Projects
Professional aerial data acquisition, mapping, thermal imaging, inspection, and site documentation for construction, commercial property, infrastructure, and specialized operations.
More Than Aerial Photography
Aerial Insights uses commercial drone systems, RTK positioning, high-resolution imaging, thermal sensors, and photogrammetry workflows to capture useful information from above. Our focus is not simply creating images, but delivering repeatable data and documentation that helps clients understand site conditions, monitor progress, inspect assets, and maintain accurate project records.
Core Aerial Capabilities
These services form the foundation of our commercial aerial operations and can be delivered individually or combined into recurring project workflows.
Construction Documentation
Repeatable aerial documentation gives project teams a clear visual record of site conditions and progress throughout construction.
- Recurring progress photography
- Orthomosaic site maps
- 360° aerial panoramas
- Progress video
- 3D site models
- Preconstruction conditions
- Earthwork and site-change documentation
Mapping & Site Intelligence
RTK-enabled aerial mapping creates detailed spatial records for planning, measurements, terrain analysis, site monitoring, and technical documentation.
- RTK orthomosaic mapping
- 3D models and point clouds
- Digital surface models
- Digital terrain models
- Terrain classification
- Contours and breaklines
- Stockpile and volumetric measurement
Thermal Inspections
Radiometric thermal imaging helps identify temperature anomalies that may indicate moisture intrusion, insulation deficiencies, electrical issues, or solar module faults.
- Commercial thermal roof inspections
- Building envelope thermal inspections
- Solar thermal inspections
- Radiometric thermal imagery
- RGB reference imagery
- Thermal anomaly documentation
Additional Aerial Services
Aerial platforms provide safe, efficient access to areas that are difficult, expensive, or time-consuming to document from the ground.
Roof & Building Inspections
Detailed visual inspection imagery for residential and commercial buildings without requiring routine access to elevated or difficult-to-reach areas.
- Residential roof inspections
- Commercial roof documentation
- Façade and exterior wall inspection
- Flashing and penetrations
- Storm and damage documentation
- High-resolution detail imagery
Commercial Property & Facility Documentation
Comprehensive aerial records for commercial properties, facilities, development sites, and real-estate assets.
- Property overview imagery
- Roof and exterior documentation
- Parking and pavement conditions
- Development site mapping
- Existing-condition records
- 3D property models
Specialized Aerial Data Acquisition
Custom aerial capture workflows for engineering teams, technology platforms, contractors, and third-party data providers requiring consistent field acquisition.
- RGB imagery
- RTK mapping imagery
- Thermal imagery
- Nadir and oblique capture
- 360° panoramas
- Orbit video and photography
- Third-party and DSP capture missions
Search & Thermal Detection
Thermal aerial systems can assist with locating animals, identifying heat signatures, and supporting search operations over large or difficult terrain.
- Lost pet thermal search
- Deer recovery
- Search and rescue support
- Large-area reconnaissance
- Night and low-light operations
Technical Capabilities
RTK Positioning
High-accuracy positioning for repeatable mapping, spatial documentation, and site data collection.
Photogrammetry
Orthomosaics, point clouds, 3D models, DSMs, DTMs, contours, and volumetric outputs.
Radiometric Thermal
Temperature-measurable thermal imagery for inspection, analysis, and anomaly documentation.
Repeatable Capture
Consistent flight plans and recurring data collection for progress monitoring and long-term project records.
Need More Than the Aerial View?
Aerial data can be combined with ground-based reality capture to document interiors, exterior spaces, construction areas, and site conditions that cannot be fully captured from above. Together, aerial and ground documentation create a more complete record of a property or project.
Capture the Data Your Project Actually Needs
Aerial Insights can build a capture workflow around a single inspection, mapping project, or recurring documentation program using the aerial data products that best fit your project.
