Aerial Documentation & Inspection Services
Frontline EV Rentals provides professional drone-based aerial services for construction, infrastructure, and environmental projects throughout California. Our FAA Part 107 certified pilot delivers precise documentation when and where you need it.
Services
Site Documentation
High-resolution aerial photography and 4K video for project records, progress tracking, and stakeholder reporting. Capture your entire site from perspectives impossible to achieve from the ground.
LiDAR Mapping & 3D Modeling
Drone-mounted LiDAR captures millions of precise data points to generate accurate 3D topographical models, digital elevation maps, and detailed terrain analysis. Ideal for grading verification, volumetric calculations, cut/fill analysis, and engineering-grade site surveys. LiDAR penetrates vegetation canopy to map ground surfaces that traditional photogrammetry cannot capture.
Pre-Construction Surveys
Aerial mapping and imagery to support project planning, bid preparation, and baseline documentation before ground is broken.
Progress Monitoring
Scheduled flyovers to document construction phases, track progress against timelines, and create visual records for project management and client updates.
Inspection Services
Safe aerial inspection of rooftops, structures, and hard-to-reach areas without scaffolding, lifts, or putting personnel at height.
Environmental & Compliance Documentation
Aerial documentation for SWPPP inspections, BMP verification, erosion control monitoring, and environmental compliance reporting.
Orthomosaic Mapping
Stitched aerial imagery creating accurate, measurable overhead maps of your site for planning, measurement, and documentation purposes.
Coming Soon
Aerial Herbicide Application
We are expanding into drone-based herbicide application services for vegetation management, invasive species control, and right-of-way maintenance. Our pilot holds a California Qualified Applicator License (QAL) with prior aerial application experience. Contact us to discuss future project needs or to be notified when this service becomes available.
Why Aerial Documentation?
Safety
Inspect roofs, structures, and remote areas without putting workers at height or in hazardous locations.
Efficiency
Capture in minutes what would take hours on foot. Reduce site visits while improving documentation quality.
Accuracy
Timestamped, GPS-tagged imagery and LiDAR data provide defensible documentation for compliance, disputes, and project records.
Cost-Effective
Eliminate scaffolding, lift rentals, and multi-person inspection crews for routine documentation needs.
