Unmanned Aerial Vehicle & Geospatial Services
Many environmental projects require Geospatial Services, and Blackstone’s Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) expertise is essential for engineering design and site redevelopment activities.
Our UAV, or drone, provides aerial imagery and inspections of critical assets like water towers, air emission stacks, landfill caps and buildings. The UAV also provides a bird’s-eye-view of contaminated sites, many times revealing contamination not obvious to a site inspector on the ground.
Additionally, Blackstone’s Geospatial services include GIS/asset management support. Using our UAV to create a basemap and GPS equipment to create precise locations, Blackstone’s geospatial experts can inventory assets, including water, wastewater, storm water, electric, gas and fiber optic lines, for any organization.
Our GIS specialists can also transform your paper records into digital maps, with each asset linked to appropriate records and accessible via your smartphone, tablet or computer.
