Buffalo 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 are pivotal for streamlining critical commercial operations, encompassing precise Right-of-Way and site inspections, accurate topographical data acquisition, and high-definition photographic documentation for expansive business projects across New York. Helicopter-based surveys offer an unparalleled method for detailed inspection of pipelines for integrity issues, detecting anomalies within transmission line networks, or capturing comprehensive video and photographic records of commercial properties. Buffalo Helicopter Charters specializes in developing bespoke photographic and remote sensing solutions, engineered to optimize both technical efficacy and financial efficiency, thereby maximizing overall project outcomes.
The inherent aerodynamic characteristics of a helicopter, enabling significantly lower and slower flight profiles compared to fixed-wing aircraft, position it as the optimal platform for precise aerial surveying. While FAA regulations mandate fixed-wing aircraft maintain a minimum altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle, helicopters can operate at considerably lower levels. This distinct capability allows for the close inspection of challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers with critical, otherwise unobtainable perspectives for detailed analysis and problem identification.
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 New York 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.
