Infrastructure & Construction Drone Solutions

Improve project visibility, reduce manual fieldwork, and collect accurate site data with enterprise drone solutions built for construction, engineering, surveying, and infrastructure operations. From topographic mapping and earthwork measurements to progress tracking, asset inspections, thermal assessments, photos, and video, drones help project teams make faster, better-informed decisions.

Altohelix helps organizations select and deploy the right DJI platform for their projects, including the Matrice 4E for rapid mapping and inspection, the Matrice 400 for advanced survey work and interchangeable payloads, and Dock 3 with the Matrice 4D for repeatable remote site monitoring. We also provide training, program development, software guidance, and ongoing operational support.

Surveying & Mapping

Capture aerial data for topographic surveys, orthomosaics, terrain models, and detailed 3D site models. Cover large areas efficiently while reducing time spent walking active or difficult terrain.

Construction Progress

Use repeatable aerial missions to document progress, compare site conditions over time, and provide stakeholders with a clear visual record of work completed throughout the project.

Infrastructure Inspection

Inspect bridges, roads, railways, towers, rooftops, utilities, and other critical assets from safer perspectives. High-resolution cameras and zoom capabilities help teams assess difficult-to-access areas while reducing exposure to hazards.

Stockpile & Earthwork Measurement

Capture data for stockpile volumes, cut-and-fill calculations, excavation tracking, and material management. Regular measurements help teams monitor quantities and make informed decisions throughout construction.

Thermal Inspection

Use thermal imaging to assess building envelopes, rooftops, solar installations, electrical assets, and mechanical systems. Thermal drones help identify temperature differences that may require further investigation.

Oversight & Documentation

Stream live video to project teams and capture photos or recordings for reports, inspections, progress meetings, and project records. Drone imagery provides a clearer view of site conditions and how work changes over time.
