Do you see the small pond near the top of the firs

Do you see the small pond near the top of the first photo? From the same position, we zoomed into that to give you an idea of the zoom capabilities on our H20T camera mounted on our Matrice 300! There are many inspection flights that are made safer with a good zoom, so you can maintain a safe altitude but easily capture all the data that is needed. It will come in handy for our incident management work as well in spill response and fire. 🔥 #SNRC #drones #forestry #RPAS #mapping

A shot from the thermal infrared camera on one of our drones. Our primary use of thermal is to support hotspot scanning operations during fire season (both heli-based and drone-based scanning), but thermal is also useful for building envelope inspections (searching for heat loss), solar panel integrity inspections and electrical facility inspections, among other uses.

One tool we use for our clients is the Strategic Data Hub! Interact with your drone data in 3D; measure distances, areas and volumes. Mark-up drone maps and collaborate easily with others on your team! #SNRC #drones #forestry #RPAS #mapping

Meet our Fleet! 🦅 This is our Matrice 300 RTK

Meet our Fleet! 🦅 This is our Matrice 300 RTK multirotor drone - it is one of our latest additions to the Strategic fleet and acts as a workhorse for any inspection or reconnaissance work. It has a 23x hybrid optical zoom and 200x maximum zoom, in addition to a wide angle camera, thermal camera and rangefinder. It it also waterproof and can handle up to 29 knot winds, which is a nice improvement from older models and will help us during our coastal deployments and response work.

Successful drone workflows for forestry applicatio

Successful drone workflows for forestry applications 💯🌲 ➡️ Road as-built QA/QC – our drones allow for accurate measurement and inspection of roads during/following construction, including cut and fill slopes.
➡️ Visual Impact Assessments (VIAs) – drones have become a useful tool for VIA photos that are required in areas that traditionally require a boat to access, or require a long hike.
➡️ Free growing survey support – the use of drones for free growing surveys has become an established support tool. This can save time, provide a unique perspective and provide field photos.
➡️ Small scale salvage reconnaissance – difficult terrain that used to take days to recce, now takes hours with our drones. This allows for valuable cedar salvage pockets to be identified (for example) without extensive hiking or helicopter time.
➡️ Canopy height updates – the ability to generate a point cloud with top-of-canopy heights from photogrammetry. This assists with forest and vegetation management, especially in between years of LiDAR capture.
➡️ Forest health mapping – early detection and quantification of problem areas within a stand (with multispectral data), which in many cases can lead to positive outcomes and cost savings.
➡️ Waste and Residue surveys – automated pile counts and volume calculations are now possible and can add efficiency to W&R surveys in BC.
➡️ Forest inventories and timber typing – high resolution RPAS imagery combined with classification techniques improves forest inventory workflows and saves time on the ground for our crews.

Our RPAS Program Lead Mike Morellato had the pleas

Our RPAS Program Lead Mike Morellato had the pleasure of instructing another course at North Island College recently. 🏫 It was focused on Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems,
including practical flight training, Basic drone certification prep and an introduction to added value applications such as mapping and photogrammetry. Are you looking to get certified or build out your own drone program? 📝 Give us a ring and we can chat!

I think there's a better route through the bush here... but let's scout with the drone first! 👀
