Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Blackwell, the first Virginia engineering firm to obtain FAA drone certification, continues to expand our drone fleet and camera systems. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), can provide many benefits for our clients. By using UAVs, firms can gather high-quality aerial data and imagery quickly and efficiently, allowing them to better assess and analyze project sites. This enhanced perspective can lead to more accurate and comprehensive designs, as well as improved safety and cost savings. UAVs also provide a unique perspective on projects that is not possible with traditional surveying methods, giving our engineers and clients a better understanding of the site and the project as a whole.

Services and capabilities we offer:

• Floodplain mapping and analysis
• Large acreage/hectare high resolution topography
• Large acreage/hectare high resolution vegetation indexing and analysis
• As-built survey
• Safety infrared mapping
• 3D mapping
• Vegetative environmental impact monitoring and analysis
• Natural resource monitoring

Let’s start building a path for tomorrow.
