FluidState can help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40b9c18660c900010ff62f/1576589390436-MI0YVB01CQCYVRI8MOYD/Imagery+Comparison+-+DroneOrtho+-+11x17.jpeg Aerial Imagery Product Example Drone Imagery: This image was captured in August, 2019 and has a resolution of 0.8” / pixel - enough to capture the most minute of details. The flight, of which this is only one small part, captured nearly 4 acres in 15 minutes - all of which is geo-referenced and measurable in GIS or CAD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40b9c18660c900010ff62f/1576589629858-36PXOGKJMPM4VJZDKA7B/Imagery+Comparison+-+GoogleOrtho+-+11x17.jpeg Aerial Imagery Product Example Google Imagery: Google imagery is generally much coarser than anything FluidState’s drone can capture - and the vintage is generally unknown. This makes it unsuitable for sites that have undergone recent change and may lead to inaccurate measurements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40b9c18660c900010ff62f/1576589733881-QCU2X5FGSVLMKTV61MX2/Imagery+Comparison+-+VCGIOrtho+-+11x17.jpeg Aerial Imagery Product Example VCGI Imagery: While generally of higher resolution than Google, not all of VCGI’s imagery is created equal - some is better than others. With FluidState’s drone captured imagery you can be assured that you have the most up-to-date, accurate, high-resolution imagery possible for every site. https://www.fluidstateconsulting.com/smoke-testing-inspection daily 0.75 2019-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40b9c18660c900010ff62f/1572449135146-T9F0MFUIXS105EWUIHYQ/Screen+Shot+2019-10-30+at+11.23.39+AM.png Smoke Testing Inspection Product Example Flying the drone during liquid smoke testing for projects like sanitary sewer infiltration and intrusion studies, rooftop drain identification investigations, and illicit discharge detection work can reduce time spent in the field. https://www.fluidstateconsulting.com/construction-inspection daily 0.75 2019-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d40b9c18660c900010ff62f/1572453714403-RCAYLXGPDHXXU5S3EDMD/Construction_Inspection_VolumeMeasurement.png Construction Inspection Product Example FluidState’s drone is able to create construction site inspection photos and videos to track progress.
