Aerolab works with architecture, engineering, and construction management firms that would like to leverage the advantages of drones during the investigative phase of a building façade restoration and remediation project. Drone-based geospatial data collection provides timely details and data needed to locate and visualize a variety of anomalies. This quick acquisition of data in hard-to-reach locations is invaluable in developing initial scopes of work by delivering meaningful and actionable information about a project site condition.
Aerolab provides mission-based drone flight plans and close-proximity vertical inspections reinforced by our experienced, knowledgeable, and professional FAA-certified drone pilots, data analysts, and software engineers. Drone technology today can be utilized in dozens of applications where physical inspection of buildings and infrastructure in areas that are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to reach can today be deployed by specialty drones.
Our inspection services cover every aspect of building envelopes, from high-resolution exterior scanning and infrared moisture detection to 3D point-cloud modeling and live video documentation. Each method pinpoints anomalies, supports restoration planning, and integrates directly with your BIM workflows.
Aerolab’s focus is on the investigation, documentation, and quantification of existing conditions in the course of an inspection. Our clients use the results of these aerial inspections to present a more fully developed scope of work for budgeting, phasing, scheduling, and bidding for repair and maintenance work. We have helped companies save up to five times their traditional inspection costs by replacing scaffolding or rope access with comprehensive drone inspection systems. As a company committed to innovative and time-saving technology solutions, Aerolab continually refines our services to meet clients’ specific needs and to educate any audience interested in the latest advances and challenges in spatial data collection, processing, and drone operations.

” For 3MG, PSC, an Architectural/Engineering firm, building structures facade inspections are part of the business. We’re always looking for ways to expedite these types of inspections while maintaining the integrity and quality of our deliverables. Aerolab’s facade inspection methodologies allowed us to deliver the high level of quality our customers are accustomed to and have come to expect. In the process, we’ve also been able to reduce costs and delivery time. We highly recommend Andy and Aerolab.”
“We recently conducted an inspection of a segment of one of our most important pipelines in Puerto Rico. Instead of using traditional methodologies, we chose to use drones. Andy was highly recommended for his subject matter expertise in technical inspection. He didn’t disappoint. Not only was the under-bridge inspection completed in a safe and timely manner, but we extracted far more actionable data than expected. We’re currently using Aerolab’s inspection report to forge our maintenance schedule for that portion of the pipeline.”
