Our team of professional evaluators, along with the help of a ground pilot team, use a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System, otherwise known as a drone, to easily access tall, dangerous, and hard-to-reach areas of a structure or buildings. Thanks to the advancement in software, these incredibly engineered aircraft are equipped with high-resolution payload imagery equipment such as infrared thermal and digital cameras.
These tools are indispensable for building envelope engineers as they facilitate precise analysis of structural integrity and performance. By enabling engineers to juxtapose current, high-quality images of building surfaces against historical data or design specifications, these tools enhance the identification of potential issues such as water infiltration or material degradation. Our engineers can detect subtle changes over time, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of building envelopes.
Additionally, this technology streamlines the documentation process, allowing for efficient record-keeping and reporting. This is particularly beneficial for compliance with regulatory standards and maintaining the building envelope's longevity. Furthermore, the ability to both identify current issues and visualize changes over time fosters more informed decision-making regarding maintenance and repair strategies.
Many structures and buildings are difficult or sometimes even impossible to access without the use of costly and conventional building restoration equipment. But now, thanks to our advanced commercial drone tools, we can access vast areas in a shorter period, and in a much safer manner.
Building science engineers, structural engineers, architects and other contractors can perform high-level evaluations on tall, hard-to-reach areas such as high-rise exterior façades, high roofs, steep slopes, bridges, wind turbines, communication towers, industrial chimneys, solar panels, and more, without putting building assessors and engineers at risk.
Thanks to our drones, which are equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced thermal imaging systems, clients will be able to see detected issues themselves. In addition, these drones excel at detecting issues such as water infiltration, air leakage, and thermal insulation defects by capturing and analyzing temperature variations that signal these problems, allowing clients to better understand where issues are coming from and how to best address them.
Drone Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) images will be used to create high-resolution and accurate 3D models using photogrammetry, delivering unparalleled detail and precision. These models are so realistic that it's as if you are standing right in front of the issue. Clients can review the building or asset remotely from their office, viewing it on a computer screen with the same clarity and perspective as being on-site, enabling efficient and informed decision-making.
Are you in need of a comprehensive building assessment? For over 30 years now, we have worked with various Canadian municipalities, community organizations, and private-sector clients, including healthcare facilities, newly built high-rise condominiums, commercial spaces, retail establishments, and many more. We are dedicated to providing quality services throughout Ontario and across Canada and can help elevate your project today with the help of advanced RPAS technology. By working together, we can prolong the lifespan of your assets.
High-quality commercial drones make it easier and safer for our team to provide an in-depth analysis of your building's envelope and help to identify and address issues before they become more major, expensive problems. They can cover large areas quickly, significantly speeding up the inspection process compared to traditional methods by providing high-resolution images and thermal data in a detailed 3D model. If you'd like to learn more about this service and how our team can help you, book a consultation today. We also provide other services such as roofing consulting, performance audits, underground parking rehabilitation, and reserve fund studies. We look forward to working with you and providing the solutions you require to succeed.
