With industrial 3D mapping and modeling services from Valmont UAS Inspection services, you can perform mapping with speed and precision, plan your construction, manage utility inventory, organize lay down yards, visualize substation upgrades and analyze right-of-ways.
Valmont develops three-dimensional maps and models from a series of high-resolution 20.8MP images and real-time kinematic spatial data collected through our drone mapping services. It provides a true-to-life representation of your project that you can view and measure from any desired angle. Measurements include planar and 3D distances, area, and volumetric data, which is especially helpful for construction planning.
We build 3D maps and models using ultra-high resolution images that allow a close in-viewing of key details that normally need an onsite visit. Our UAV aerial mapping services allow close up examination of utility assets and even inventory accomplishment without ever being there in person.
Along with visual spectrum data, NDVI (Neutral Density Vegetation Index) and longwave IR thermal for multispectral analysis can layer these visual maps. Regardless of the spectrum, we can export all maps into 2D orthomosaics for layering onto other mapping programs and point clouds for work on your favorite CAD.
Valmont drone pilots are equipped with industry knowledge and the experience of mapping data collection with over 500 commercial flight hours, a minimum of 151 training hours and all industrial certifications.
They have a keen understanding of utility operations. Additionally, we equip them with the latest drone and aerial imaging platforms designed specifically to operate in heavy EMI (electromagnetic interference) areas. Because we collect data via drone, inspected areas remain untouched with no environmental impact. Also, we are able to gather data in minutes instead of days at times.
Another ideal use of Valmont's aerial mapping services is before a forecasted weather event to document utility assets. This can be used for both making insurance claims and staging response teams in strategic locations armed with up-to-date mapping details.
For post-event mapping, the Valmont UAS Inspection crews are prepared for incident-operations with off-road vehicles, recovery equipment, all-band communications, FEMA NIMS and ICS certifications.
