About the service
I fly compact inspection drones into the confined space beneath bridge decks to document structural condition without lane closures or scaffolding.
Years of practice threading a small quadcopter between girders, diaphragms, and bearing seats have taught me how to hold a stable hover eighteen inches from a web plate in gusty river-crossing wind while a gimbal camera captures sharp, well-lit stills of rivets, welds, and paint film.
Every flight follows a repeatable lane pattern so no bearing, expansion joint, or fascia girder gets skipped, and every frame is GPS-tagged and cross-referenced to a span-and-bay grid so a reviewer can find any defect again in seconds.
My deliverable is not a folder of raw photos: it is an annotated condition report with cropped close-ups of each crack, corrosion pit, and delamination, a severity call keyed to standard rating scales, and a plan-view map marking where each finding sits.
Clients get a portfolio of past bridge, overpass, and culvert jobs to review before hiring, plus a clear turnaround promise: raw imagery within 48 hours of the flight, the annotated report within five working days.
I carry my own liability coverage, work around traffic control provided by the client, and can shoot thermal passes on request to flag moisture intrusion behind fascia panels.
