DRONE INSPECTIONS
Our team of UAV Inspection Professionals are highly efficient and detail oriented. Our drones are adept at gathering the necessary data, regardless of the location—be it indoors or outdoors, high up or at ground level, in open or confined spaces. We collaborate with you to select the ideal drone, mapping technology, and software to meet your specific needs.
Through our extensive drone inspection services, we've helped companies reduce their conventional inspection expenses by up to tenfold. Our drones provide a wide viewing range and detailed images, effectively conveying the information you need. This approach also eliminates the risks and hassles associated with using ladders, scaffolding, walking on roofs, and navigating tight, dimly lit areas inside buildings.
Facade, Historical Landmarks
It’s faster, safer to personnel, and highly cost-effective.
Our UAV inspection services employ state-of-the-art LiDAR, imaging, and thermography to conduct non-destructive evaluations of various infrastructures, such as highway tunnels, utility lines, and more. Utilizing drone-based, geospatial data collection, we deliver prompt and detailed insights, aiding in the identification and visualization of diverse anomalies. This technology is particularly adept at quickly accessing remote and hard-to-reach areas.
We specialize in collaborating with architecture, engineering, construction, and building management firms, harnessing the benefits of professional drone-based inspections for a multitude of applications. Our extensive portfolio encompasses a range of projects, from building repair and renovation to extensive surveys of telecommunications towers, electric power lines, and pipelines for routine maintenance and problem diagnosis.
For architecture and engineering firms, our drone reconnaissance surveys are invaluable. They facilitate the identification of structural concerns through various outputs including high-resolution imaging, 4K video, live streaming, and 3D modeling. These tools provide stakeholders with an efficient means to evaluate the condition of materials and surrounding components, enhancing the overall decision-making process.
Facade
Our experienced team of FAA Certified Drone Pilots will safely and skillfully satisfy routine facade inspection requirements; even in dense urban environments. Our inspections include full data organization, analytics, anomaly detection, and in-depth reporting.
Solar
Blackbird Engineering is equipped to inspect everything from small Solar Photovoltaic Systems (SVS), to full scale Concentrated Solar Panel Plants (CSP). Our crews, software, analytics, and equipment are fully scalable to meet short deadlines and large inspection areas.
Roofing
Roofing contractors rely on the versatility and reliability of aerial imagery and video. Our same day imagery and analysis services provide valuable information such as edge measurements, surface area, slope, and pitch. Allowing for tighter budgets and estimates to their clients
Structural
For structures with more detail and layers, such as bridges and towers, our crews are equipped with multiple size drones and scanners. In addition to thermal and high resolution cameras. our handheld and mobile LiDAR mapping solutions provide valuable data in even the hardest to reach places.
