Define the requirement
Confirm the asset, location, intended outcome and useful deliverable before planning the operation.
OUR SERVICES
Drone operations built around the information you need.
Metbridge Aerospace provides inspection, mapping, modelling and aerial imaging services designed to capture useful data safely, efficiently and in a format that supports practical decisions.
AERIAL DATA SERVICES
Start with the outcome.
Effective aerial work begins with a clear understanding of the site, the asset and the decisions the information needs to support.
We shape the capture method and deliverables around the requirement—whether that is documenting asset condition, improving access to difficult areas, mapping a site or creating a detailed visual record for future comparison.
01
Drone Inspections
Capture detailed visual information from elevated, difficult-to-access or extensive areas.
Drone inspections can reduce the need for preliminary access by ladders, scaffolding or elevated work platforms while providing a repeatable visual record of an asset or structure. The flight and capture plan is tailored to the inspection objective.
Typical applications and deliverables
- Building and structure inspections
- High-resolution still imagery
- Façade and elevated-area capture
- Condition documentation
- Infrastructure visual surveys
- Annotated image sets
- Repeat inspection capture
- Organised digital deliverables
02
Roof & Gutter Inspections
Obtain a clear visual record of roof surfaces, drainage areas and associated building features.
Aerial capture can provide efficient visibility across large or difficult roof areas. Imagery can support maintenance planning, property documentation and follow-up investigation by appropriately qualified specialists where required.
Typical applications and deliverables
- Roof surface documentation
- Gutter and drainage imagery
- Flashing and penetration capture
- Large-roof visual surveys
- Pre-maintenance documentation
- Post-work visual records
- High-resolution image sets
- Area-by-area organisation
03
Asset Inspection
Document infrastructure, equipment and assets to support maintenance and condition assessment.
Structured aerial imagery provides asset owners and technical teams with a detailed visual record that can support review, prioritisation and planning. Capture can be repeated over time to help identify visible change.
Typical applications and deliverables
- Infrastructure documentation
- Equipment and installation capture
- Asset condition imagery
- Maintenance planning support
- Baseline visual records
- Repeat comparison capture
- Location-referenced imagery
- Stakeholder-ready outputs
04
Aerial Mapping
Create a consistent, high-detail aerial view of sites, properties and project areas.
Systematic flight planning and overlapping image capture can produce orthomosaic maps and other visual datasets for site documentation, planning and progress comparison. Deliverables are agreed according to the intended use and required format.
Typical applications and deliverables
- Orthomosaic mapping
- Site overview imagery
- Property documentation
- Construction progress capture
- Planning support imagery
- Repeat site comparison
- High-resolution map outputs
- Project record datasets
05
3D Modelling
Turn overlapping aerial imagery into detailed digital models of structures, terrain and sites.
Photogrammetric capture can provide a three-dimensional record that supports visual review, communication and project documentation. Capture planning considers the subject, surrounding environment and intended model output.
Typical applications and deliverables
- Building and structure models
- Site and terrain models
- Photogrammetric capture
- Digital project records
- Visual planning support
- Stakeholder presentations
- Repeat-model comparison
- Agreed digital output formats
06
Aerial Imaging
Professional aerial photography and video for property, projects, documentation and commercial communication.
Aerial imaging provides context and perspective that can be difficult to achieve from the ground. Capture can be planned around a specific shot list, site features and final use so the delivered material is relevant and easy to use.
Typical applications and deliverables
- Aerial photography
- Aerial video capture
- Property and facility imagery
- Project documentation
- Construction progress imagery
- Commercial visual content
- Curated image selections
- Web-ready digital files
HOW IT WORKS
A clear path from requirement to delivery.
Each service is planned around the site, the operating environment and the information you need to receive.
Plan and capture
Assess the operating environment, plan the capture and collect the required imagery or data.
Process and deliver
Organise and process the captured material into the agreed outputs for review and use.
Discuss your site or asset requirement.
Tell us what you need to inspect, document or understand. We can help identify a suitable aerial capture approach.
