    INDUSTRIES

    ELECTRICAL

    LIDAR allows us to quickly assess vegetation encroachment on power lines. High definition cameras can identify cotter pins, missing insulators, supports, shield wires, X braces, cross arms and anything in need of critical repair. sUAS inspection coupled with LIDAR technology raises the bar of inspection, providing 3D views of utility assets, roads, accessory structures and the ground to improve asset management.

    CONSTRUCTION

    LiDAR and Photogrammetry can be used to capture important data during the construction process. DEMs, structural analysis, BIM, and high resolution orthomosaic imagery gives an in-depth look at the project. Improve your project costs predictions and stay on schedule.

    INFRASTRUCTURE

    Bridges, waterways, roads, dams, cities, sidewalks, and neighborhoods are all essential components to a successful functioning society. Quick prioritization and effective maintenance planning is achieved by using aerial data collection to monitor assets.

    COMMERCIAL REDEVELOPMENT

    Our comprehensive interior and exterior SCAN-to-BIM services enable your team to breathe new life into current projects with speed, efficiency and accuracy. We combine state of the art technology with our team's industry knowledge to create the best VDC/BIM data product. An interactive user interface enables seamless team collaboration and optimized workflows.

    MINERAL EXTRACTION

    Volumetrics, development, assessment, planning, exploration, grade and contours, berms and change detection, monitoring of slag piles, identifying hazards, and the creation of digital elevation/surface models are where sUAS application excels in the mineral extraction sector.

    OIL/GAS

    Optical Gas sensors, such as the Ventus 640 UAS, allow us to visualize numerous hydrocarbons. Small unmanned aerial systems with specific sensors, enable quicker identification of leaks and examination of pipeline maintenance needs. Flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), per FAA regulations, allows the team to assess in a timely manner.

    SOLAR

    Specializing in LiDAR, Multispectral and Orthomosaic data acquisition within the solar sector, Big Sky Aerial Solutions employs cutting-edge sUAS technology and sensors to supply clients with top-tier deliverables. Whether for site planning or inspection, our clients trust Big Sky because of our cost effective solutions, secure data collection, due diligence and effective communication throughout the relationship.

    HYDROLOGY

    Water presents unique challenges in data collection and management. sUAS allow stakeholders to quickly obtain data with superior accuracy to make informed decisions regarding water resources.

    WIND

    High resolution cameras allow the team to assess and prioritize critical issues before a tower worker arrives on site. Efficiently achieve your maintenance goals or develop and plan future sites by utilizing aerial data collection methods.

    FORESTRY

    Dense forests and remote area present difficulties in obtaining accurate data for timber inventory and structure mapping. LiDAR is able to provide precise measurements from the forest canopy to the ground surface.
