Columbus Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
Precision aerial surveys are instrumental in streamlining Right-of-Way (ROW) and site inspections, comprehensive topographical data gathering, and high-definition photographic documentation for critical commercial and infrastructure projects throughout Ohio. Helicopter-based surveys provide an unparalleled vantage for meticulously examining Ohio's diverse terrain, identifying pipeline anomalies, assessing transmission line integrity, and acquiring detailed visual data of properties. Columbus Helicopter Charters specializes in developing custom photographic and remote sensing operational plans, meticulously tailored to optimize technical accuracy, maximize financial efficiency, and deliver definitive, actionable results for your enterprise.
Helicopters present significant operational advantages for aerial surveying missions due to their unique flight characteristics. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, which are typically restricted by FAA regulations to minimum altitudes of 1,000 feet above obstacles in congested areas, helicopters possess the capability for precise low-altitude flight and sustained hover. This maneuverability enables detailed inspection of critical infrastructure and geographic features, allowing for thorough examination of challenging or hazardous zones. Such access provides engineers and project managers with invaluable perspectives and data acquisition capabilities that are unattainable through conventional fixed-wing operations.
There is no better way to conduct your visual survey, animal population counts, soil drainage analysis, ROW inspections, pipeline and transmission line inspections, and geographical surveys.
LiDAR Imaging
Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR, is a remote sensing method used to examine and measure Ohio topography as well as objects, like vegetation, upon it.
Infrared Imaging
Thermographic IR cameras are used to detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms.
HD Video Gimbal Capture
Modern HD and 4K cameras can be mounted to helicopters, using the proper STCs, with a gimbal to stabilize photos & videos for detailed results.
