SERVICES
Aerial Photography
Bring your projects to life with high-quality aerial visuals. Whether you need photos for documentation, marketing, or progress tracking, Connolly Aerial delivers crisp, high-resolution imagery tailored to your needs. Our pilots capture 4K video, HDR stills, and orthomosaics with precision framing and composition.
-
4K/6K video for presentations and media
-
HDR photos for reports or promotional use
-
Orthomosaic mapping for large-area coverage
Inspections
Inspect hard-to-reach assets without risking safety or slowing operations. Our drones provide close-up, detailed views of roofs, towers, bridges, and industrial sites—capturing images you can rely on without scaffolding, lifts, or downtime.
-
Safer, faster inspections for structures and equipment
-
Thermal options to identify hidden issues
-
High-resolution reporting for documentation and maintenance planning
Surveying & Mapping
Cut project time and costs with accurate aerial mapping. Using advanced photogrammetry, we create georeferenced maps and 2D/3D models that seamlessly integrate with CAD and GIS workflows. Perfect for planning, design, and construction progress tracking.
-
Topographic surveys (DTM/DSM)
-
Contour generation for site planning
-
Ground control point (GCP) and PPK workflows for survey-grade accuracy
Thermal Analysis
Detect issues invisible to the naked eye. Our thermal drones reveal heat loss, moisture intrusion, electrical faults, and other anomalies quickly and safely. From energy audits to equipment checks, thermal imaging provides a non-invasive way to identify problems before they escalate.
-
Pinpoint roof leaks and insulation gaps
-
Identify overheating components in electrical systems
-
Support safety checks in utilities, solar, and industrial facilities
3D Modeling & Volumetrics
Transform your site into a digital model for better planning and measurement. Our 3D models provide accurate, interactive representations of terrain, structures, and stockpiles. With volumetric calculations, we help track material usage and verify contractor work.
-
Detailed 3D site or structure models
-
Volume calculations for stockpiles and earthworks
-
Change detection over time for project monitoring
LiDAR
When absolute precision matters, LiDAR delivers. We partner with best-in-class sensors to capture data even in vegetated or complex terrain. LiDAR penetrates gaps in tree canopies to reveal true ground surfaces, producing clean point clouds and surveyor-ready deliverables.
-
High-density point clouds for engineering accuracy
-
Digital terrain and surface models
-
Up to 750 acres/day coverage (site dependent)
