Safety and peace of mind

At Sky Photos, safety is more than a priority—it’s built into every flight we conduct. As an FAA Part 107 certified operator with full liability insurance, we follow rigorous procedures to ensure that every mission is performed with caution, compliance, and communication.


We operate with an understanding of construction site protocols, including coordination with site managers and safety officers to minimize disruption and risk. Flights are planned with risk assessments, airspace checks, and weather monitoring. Our drones are equipped with fail-safes for communication loss, flown only when conditions are safe and appropriate.

    Progress Monitoring

    General

    Large sites have a lot going on. That is one place where progress site monitoring is invaluable. Aerial photos and videos of a site taken over the course of a project gives extremely valuable site data, and shows a project timeline like nothing else can.  Weekly site visits are a cost effective way to wow your stakeholders!

    What is involved?

    Sky Photos visits the site on a regular schedule, and with trained pilots and appropriate PPE if needed. A typical schedule is once a week to capture changes on a regular basis and provide a cadence of regular updates to the project management. 

    • Photos or video can be taken at automated intervals and used to create progress "timelapses" of the site as it is built, from the ground up. 
    • Regular documentation of the site can alert teams to slow developing problems such as slumping or drainage issues.

    Geospatial Imaging

    General

    Geospatial Imaging, also sometimes known as Drone Mapping,High-Resolution Aerial Imaging,Overhead Site Mapping and Photogrammetric Mapping, give your project management the large format images to plan and monitor your site. projects as small as 1 acre can be modeled quickly. Sky Photos does not provide survey or map data, but we can provide 2d and 3d images of locations with high precision that can be georeferenced using survey data. Also available with thermal data.


    What is involved?

    Drones capture hundreds or thousands of high-resolution aerial images, which are then processed into a seamless 2D orthomosaic map or 3D digital surface model (DSM). These models provide centimeter-level accuracy, allowing for precise measurements of slopes, drainage paths, and ground elevations.

    Key Benefits in Construction & Land Development:

    1. Accurate Site Planning – Helps developers understand the landscape before excavation begins.
    2. Volume Calculations – Measures cut-and-fill volumes for earthmoving and grading.
    3. Drainage & Erosion Analysis – Identifies potential water runoff issues.
    4. Slope Monitoring – Ensures structural stability in hilly or uneven terrain.
    5. Regulatory Compliance – Meets requirements for environmental impact studies.
    Who benefits?
    • Construction & Civil Engineering – Site planning, foundation layout, and grading.
    • Mining & Quarrying – Stockpile volume analysis and terrain assessment.
    • Environmental & Land Management – Erosion tracking and conservation planning.
    • Transportation & Infrastructure – Highway, bridge, and railway planning.
