Measurements from the air that hold up on the ground.
Drone360 Imagery has been flying for Alberta engineering, infrastructure, construction, energy and agricultural clients since 2016. Advanced RPAS certified, insured to $7.5 million, and priced by what you receive rather than by hours in the air.
What we are hired to do
Nine servicesAerial mapping and terrain models
Orthomosaics, terrain and surface models, contours and point clouds captured with RTK positioning to a stated accuracy.
02Volumetric and stockpile measurement
Material volumes and cut and fill figures reported against a stated reference surface, on a repeatable cycle.
03Area and quantity measurement
Measured areas and quantities reconciled in a workbook and shown over a scaled image anyone can verify.
04Thermal imaging and inspection
Radiometric thermal capture for hot spots, moisture, electrical and mechanical faults, and heat signature search support.
05Asset and structure inspection
Close visual inspection of structures and assets that are difficult, expensive or hazardous to reach on foot.
06Multispectral crop and vegetation mapping
Index maps that show plant stress before it is visible to the eye, flown on your schedule rather than a satellite's.
07Construction and project progress documentation
Repeat capture from logged positions, so this month lines up with last month and the sequence reads as progress.
08Aerial photography, video and event coverage
Cinematic aerial film, facility and property imagery, and live event coverage with standoff planned in advance.
09Aerial lidar capture
High density lidar for ground surface beneath vegetation, captured with RGB in the same mobilisation.
The track record
Since 2016Solar panels screened in a single operating day
Utility scale array, running as a recurring semi annual program
Alberta's tallest tower inspected for water ingress
Launched from the roof and flown down the facade, no access equipment
Construction site mapped weekly for two to three years
A continuous record, not a folder of site photos
Ring roads measured, Edmonton and Calgary
76,071 m² across 83 discrete patches on one program alone
Standoff on wind turbine blade inspection
Close enough to resolve what a ground crew cannot see
Flare stacks inspected while running
Debris and condition checked at height without a shutdown
Aggregate sites mapped on a recurring cycle
126+ missions delivered for a single platform client
RMSE reported at 2.51 cm per pixel
Measured against checkpoints rather than assumed
Missing dogs, and one cow, returned to their owners
Thermal search across farmland, bush and treeline
Farm land mapped for water movement and crop health
Where the water goes, and which acres are paying for it
Marketing media and site documentation together
Film, stills, 360 panoramas and an interactive 3D model
Read the twelve case studies, each with the challenge, the method, the airspace picture and the figures the capture returned.
Scoped to a deliverable, not to flight hours
A quote from Drone360 states the accuracy method, the outputs and the delivery window as one project value. There is no meter running while the aircraft is in the air, and no surprise about what arrives at the end.
For mapping work you choose the positioning approach that suits the decision the data has to support: internally consistent relative geometry, live corrected absolute positioning, or a checkpoint verified capture where the residual error is measured and reported.

Sectors we work in
Nine industriesConstruction
Progress records that repeat the same positions, earthwork volumes, milestone and opening coverage.
02Aggregate and mining
Pit terrain, stockpile volumes and reporting imagery captured on a cycle so the trend means something.
03Oil and gas
Facility condition imagery, thermal scanning, lease and corridor capture, documentation handled before travel.
04Municipal and public works
Pavement quantities anyone can check, corridor capture, landfill monitoring, dated records for council.
05Agriculture
NDVI and multispectral maps flown to your window, plus damage documentation for insurance.
06Renewable energy
Turbine and array inspection with verified asset positions and a documented flight plan set before mobilisation.
07Property and facilities
Roof and envelope inspection, condition documentation and property imagery, across a whole portfolio in one visit.
08Golf courses
Contours, drainage and turf health across a full property from one morning of flying, with multi course programs on one contract.
09Cemeteries and memorial grounds
Plot level mapping with centimetre geotagged marker photography, delivered as an indexed searchable record.
Know what you are buying
Free to readHow accurate is drone mapping, and how would you know?
Relative against absolute against verified positioning, why a ground sample distance is not an accuracy figure, and the five questions worth asking any operator before you sign.
02What the terms in your quote actually mean
Plain definitions for GSD, RMSE, RTK, NTRIP, orthomosaic, DSM, DTM, radiometric thermal and the rest of the vocabulary that shows up in aerial quotes.
03What a project costs, and what actually drives it
The six factors that move a quote, why we price by deliverable rather than by flight hour, and the six things to send if you want a number back the same day.
04Six completed projects with the figures attached
The problem, the method and the numbers the capture actually returned on each one.
05Questions clients ask before the first job
Insurance, certification, turnaround, coverage, file retention, image rights and vendor prequalification.
Where we fly
Based in EdmontonEdmonton and the Capital Region
Home base. Same day mobilisation across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove and Fort Saskatchewan.
ABCalgary and southern Alberta
Corridor and interchange work through the Calgary region, including flights inside controlled airspace with NAV CANADA authorization.
ABFort McMurray and the northeast
Industrial, energy and remote site programs across the Wood Buffalo region, planned as mobilised multi day work.
Also covering Red Deer, Grande Prairie and Fort Saskatchewan and the Industrial Heartland. Work outside Alberta is delivered through a coordinated network of certified pilots in Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Quebec, under one contract and one invoice.
