Industrial aerial photography

Some operations can only be understood from the air

No single place on the ground can see a whole plant, quarry or distribution campus. One aerial frame can.

Industrial drone photography shows the layout, the scale and the way a site connects to its roads, rail and neighbors. Ground and interior coverage then fill in the machinery, the floor and the finish. Together they tell the whole story of the operation.

  • Factories and manufacturing plants
  • Quarries and aggregate operations
  • Warehouses and distribution centers
  • Corporate campuses and office buildings
  • Industrial parks and development sites

Case study

A 300-acre working quarry in Shepherdsville

From Preston Highway you see a sign and a scale house. From the air you see what has been growing behind the treeline since 1966: three hundred acres of limestone benches, stockpiles, conveyors and iron, all working at once.

  • Client: Quality Stone & Ready Mix
  • Site: 300-acre limestone quarry

Inside the building

Indoor drone flights, with the operation running

A warehouse is a wall of siding from the parking lot, and a photo inside holds one aisle at a time. A drone that flies from the site outside, through the door and down the floor shows the scale, the racking and the operation in one continuous move.

Recent indoor films took two Kentucky warehouses, in Buckner and Brandenburg, from the air to the floor, past the racking, the overhead crane bays and the work in motion.

Questions

Commercial and industrial questions

Can you fly inside our building?

Yes. Indoor drone flights through warehouses and plant floors are part of the work, including flights with the operation running, as in two recent warehouse films in Buckner and Brandenburg.

Will the shoot disrupt operations?

It is planned around them. Tell me the access rules, the areas to avoid and the best time of day, and the flights are built around your schedule.

What do industrial clients use the photos for?

Websites and sales material, leasing and investor packages, recruiting, stakeholder updates and a dated record of the facility.

Do you shoot ground photos and interiors too?

Yes. Aerial, exterior and interior photography and video can all be captured on one visit and delivered as one package.
