UAV Applications

Drone technology has made significant advancements in a very short time. This technology has evolved from the early days of simple drones, to more advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), to the latest remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS). X-Terra utilizes the latest RPAS technologies to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions to our clients in an array of disciplines including:

  • Spill Management and Mitigation

  • Facilities, Site, and Inventory Management

  • Remediation Site Management

  • Post Construction and Reclamation

  • Stakeholder Engagement

  • Wetlands Management and Mitigation

  • Construction Monitoring

  • Environmental Screening

  • Pre Construction Site Assessment and Planning

  • Ongoing Environmental Monitoring

RPA systems come in many configurations. Depending on the project requirements, X-Terra utilizes both rotary and fixed wing systems to deliver the best value to any project.

X-Terra field crews now carry small, lightweight drones as part of their typical field gear. These units can be carried in a backpack and be deployed quickly when the need arises. They are very beneficial where unexpected challenges arise in the field. In many cases the old adage of “a picture is worth a thousand words” applies, especially if that picture is readily available, timely, and inexpensive to acquire.

 
 

For larger projects, a more robust system may be needed. X-Terra utilizes their quad-copter UAV for these applications. This allows for bigger payloads, additional sensors, and project specific applications.
