Seattle Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
Effective helicopter-based aerial surveys significantly streamline complex operations such as Right-of-Way (ROW) and site inspections, topographical data acquisition, and the capture of high-definition imagery for commercial projects throughout Washington. This method proves invaluable for precise pipeline leak detection, identifying transmission line anomalies, and detailed property assessments. Seattle Helicopter Charters custom-engineers photographic and remote sensing operations, optimizing technical and financial efficiency to deliver actionable data and conclusive results for diverse industry needs.
The operational characteristics of a helicopter, specifically its capacity for low-altitude, low-airspeed flight, make it the optimal platform for detailed aerial surveying. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, which are generally bound by FAA Part 91 regulations requiring a minimum of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle, helicopters can operate at significantly reduced altitudes. This distinct capability permits the close-range inspection of otherwise inaccessible or hazardous zones, providing engineers with an invaluable, otherwise unattainable perspective for critical analysis.
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 Washington 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.
