Charleston Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
Effective aerial surveys significantly streamline Right-of-Way and site inspections, enhance topographical data acquisition, and provide high-definition imagery for commercial projects throughout South Carolina. Helicopter-based operations are paramount for meticulously examining pipelines for anomalies, detecting issues with transmission lines, or capturing detailed visual documentation of properties. Charleston Helicopter Charters excels in developing bespoke photographic and remote sensing strategies, meticulously engineered to maximize both technical efficiency and financial viability, thereby ensuring superior project outcomes.
The helicopter's distinctive flight envelope offers significant tactical advantages for aerial surveying compared to fixed-wing aircraft, particularly across South Carolina's diverse terrain. Its capability for sustained low-altitude flight and precision hovering, often below the 1,000-foot AGL minimum for fixed-wing operations, allows for granular data capture. This unique agility grants access to challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers and project managers with critical perspectives and detailed insights that are otherwise unattainable, directly enhancing survey accuracy and safety.
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 South Carolina 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.
