Aerial Mapping: The process of capturing overhead images and data to create detailed orthomosaics (2D maps) of land, construction sites, or even exterior facades of buildings using drones.

​

Asset Management: Monitoring and maintaining valuable equipment or infrastructure, such as solar panels or buildings, using aerial data.

​

Drone (UAS): An Unmanned Aerial System, commonly known as a drone, is a remotely piloted aircraft used for capturing images, videos, and data.

​

FAA Part 107: The Federal Aviation Administration regulation that governs commercial drone operations in the United States, requiring pilots to be certified.

​

Georeferenced Map: A map where every pixel or data point is tied to a specific geographic coordinate, allowing for precise measurements and overlays.

​

Infrared (IR) Thermography: The use of infrared cameras to detect heat patterns and anomalies, useful for identifying issues in roofs, solar panels, and electrical systems.

​

MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing): A collective term used in construction and building design to refer to the three major technical systems: mechanical (HVAC and ventilation), electrical (power and lighting), and plumbing (water supply and drainage). MEP systems are essential for the functionality, safety, and comfort of buildings, and are often coordinated in design and installation to ensure efficiency and code compliance.

​

Orthomosaic: A high-resolution, geometrically corrected aerial image composed of many individual photos stitched together, used for accurate mapping.

​

Photogrammetry: The science of making measurements from photographs, especially for creating maps, 3D models, or surveys from aerial images.

​

Progress Monitoring: Regularly tracking and documenting the status of a construction project or asset using aerial imagery and data.

​

PV (Photovoltaic) Solar Inspection: The process of using drones and thermal cameras to inspect solar panels for defects, inefficiencies, or damage.

​

Real-Time Data: Information captured and delivered almost instantly, enabling immediate decision-making and action.

 

Remote Sensing: Collecting data about an area or object from a distance, typically using drones, satellites, or aircraft.

 

Site Survey: A comprehensive assessment and mapping of a location, often used for planning construction or infrastructure projects. (Work is performed in coordination/validation with a licensed surveyor.)

​

Thermal Imaging: The use of cameras that detect infrared radiation (heat) to visualize temperature differences and identify problems invisible to the naked eye.

​

UAS Pilot: A certified operator of an Unmanned Aerial System (drone).

​

Wildlife Herd Analysis: The use of drones to count, track, and monitor animal populations for management or conservation purposes.
