Drone Aerial Photography and Video for Municipal Properties, North Georgia

Drone Utilities Inspections of Electric Transmission and Distribution

Depending on the size of the local power grid, it can easily take a year or more to cover manual inspection of transmission and distribution lines and equipment, plus scheduling of tree-trimming, using slow, high-risk methods of scaffolding, harnesses and rope. Even at that, some inspection is by binocular, and use of a helicopter is thousands of dollars per day. Drone inspection has changed everything for electric utilities, allowing a higher frequency of inspections with closer access, higher quality and reliability of imagery, thermal mapping, and with virtually no risk of injuries and fatalities. North Georgia Drone can employ a variety of tools and technology to schedule inspection of power grid equipment, from LiDAR thermal imagery of substations and switchgear and power lines, to gauging distance of foliage for tree trimming, and confirmation of outages. We look forward to partnering in the assurance of power grid integrity and reliability, and we welcome the opportunity to quote various levels of scheduled maintenance or outage-responsive photography and video. 

Drone Aerial Photography and Video for Public Golf Courses and Parks

The birds-eye view flyover of a golf course has become the expected virtual experience for golfers and media. Municipal public golf courses have kept up with the new standards, using the drone-aerial video as well as tiled-mosaic photography to provide that virtual experience at the highest level of quality and resolution. These videos and photos are fast becoming expected in golf course websites, so golfers can literally plan their club selection and strategic approach, prior to arriving in person. Drone video, photography, thermal imaging and topographical mapping with LiDAR technology is beneficial to course management as well, scheduled to show seasonal changes in grass condition and any erosion or drainage issues. All other public recreational properties have many of the same needs and benefits from drone aerial photography and video, from scheduled maintenance and evaluation to promotional video for increased appeal, admissions, donations, revenue and community appreciation.

Drone Aerial Inspection of Bridges, Towers, Road Construction, Solar Panels and Other Municipal Property 

The advancement and availability of drone-aerial photography and thermal imaging has been a game-changer for civil engineers, particularly in the inspection of bridges, towers and other vertical structures as well as ground-level and rooftop monitoring and inspection of road construction and solar panel projects. LiDAR heat mapping and high-definition photography can be accomplished without the risk of manual labor for those jobs, and the versatility of the drone provides even better views of tight joints at high altitudes where structural integrity is critical. North Georgia Drone Imaging enjoys being the reliable resource for scheduling regular bridge inspection, providing baseline imagery studies, and simply being part of reassuring structural integrity for public security.
