Houston Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
An effective aerial survey provides unparalleled clarity for right-of-way (ROW) and site inspections, precise topographical data gathering, and high-definition imagery crucial for commercial ventures throughout Texas. Helicopter surveys offer the most advantageous perspective for examining vast terrains, meticulously inspecting pipelines for anomalies, detecting issues within critical transmission lines, or capturing detailed video and photographic documentation of commercial properties. Houston Helicopter Charters excels at engineering bespoke photographic and remote sensing operations, custom-tailored to maximize both technical efficacy and fiscal efficiency for superior project outcomes in the Houston metropolitan area and beyond.
The inherent operational characteristics of a helicopter make it the quintessential platform for aerial surveying. Unlike fixed-wing aircraft, which are often restricted by FAA minimum altitude regulations typically requiring 1,000 feet above obstacles, helicopters possess the unique ability to fly significantly lower and maintain precise, sustained loitering. This unparalleled maneuverability enables close-quarter inspection of challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers and project managers in Texas an invaluable vantage point otherwise unattainable for critical infrastructure assessments.
There is no better way to conduct your visual survey, animal population counts, soil drainage analysis, ROW inspections, pipeline and transmission line inspections, and geographical surveys.
LiDAR Imaging
Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR, is a remote sensing method used to examine and measure Texas topography as well as objects, like vegetation, upon it.
Infrared Imaging
Thermographic IR cameras are used to detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms.
HD Video Gimbal Capture
Modern HD and 4K cameras can be mounted to helicopters, using the proper STCs, with a gimbal to stabilize photos & videos for detailed results.
