Drone Technology

The City of Richmond utilizes drone technology primarily for infrastructure maintenance and inspections. Richmond and area often experiences inclement weather throughout the year and its critical our crews can inspect infrastructure at any and all service requests while keeping them safe and away from work-related hazards. 

Drone footage also allows for efficient surveying of development and construction sites using photogrammetry (stitching of thousands of photos together). This supports planning and documenting major infrastructure projects and upgrades.
