Licensed RPAS inspections for bridges, highway lighting masts, water treatment facilities, and other assets where ground access is limited, costly, or hazardous.
Condition monitoring — repeat flights to document crack progression, corrosion, or settlement over time
Why use a remotely piloted aircraft (RPAS)?
Critical infrastructure often sits above traffic lanes, water, or restricted plant areas. An RPAS places a zoom-capable sensor at the asset while personnel remain in a safe standoff position.
Reduce lane closures and rigging. Many visual checks that would require under-bridge units or lane shifts can start with aerial imagery to scope the right access plan.
Reach undersides and elevations. Bridge soffits, mast heads, and tank roofs are captured without climbers or bucket trucks for an initial condition review.
Document before maintenance windows. Share imagery with engineers and contractors so the right crew and equipment mobilize on the first visit.
Repeatable monitoring. Return to the same vantage points to compare corrosion, cracking, or vegetation encroachment between inspection cycles.
High-resolution evidence. Dated photos support asset management files, insurance records, and regulatory documentation.
Licensed, compliant operations. Flights are conducted under Transport Canada RPAS rules with site-specific risk assessment.
Who it's for
Municipal public works teams, provincial agencies, utilities, engineering consultants, facility operators, and contractors responsible for maintaining bridges, corridor lighting, water infrastructure, and other elevated or hard-to-reach assets.
