Elevated Inspection

CLIENT:       Frederick County Parks and Rec 

LOCATION:  Frederick, VA

 

OVERVIEW

This four-field baseball park is surrounded by 24 wood post light poles affixed with aluminum lamp covers.  The conventional process requires a bucket truck or lift or some other elevated tool with at least 4 people and 5 days to complete the image acquisition. The cost to evaluate the condition of the lights using conventional methods quickly becomes cost-prohibitive. Assessing them is crucial so there are no outages during game season!

​

The Simple Solution

Minimizing risk and reducing cost while providing outstanding results is a consistent theme in partnering with Flying Fox UAV. Eight hi-resolution images of each light pole were taken to provide optimize the view and allow for maximum zoom for the client to view and inspect each head. The images with a corresponding map of the park were prepared within 24hours of leaving the site. 

​

The images provided the Parks and Rec team the ability to easily, safely, and quickly identify issues, prioritize replacement, and repair damages. While providing that information in a format that can be used to communicate with the vendors implementing the repairs.
