EU regulations, real prices, mission preparation: concrete answers before commissioning a drone service.

• Flare stack drone inspection at a refinery: method, ATEX and priceInspecting a refinery or petrochemical flare stack by drone without shutting down the unit: what gets recorded, the ATEX fire permit, the Seveso/ICPE framework, 2026 prices.
• Road embankment and cut-slope drone monitoring: stability, erosion, priceMonitoring a road embankment or cut-slope by drone: detecting erosion and ground movement, comparing successive flights, the 30 m rule near an open carriageway. Method, 2026 prices.
• Drones and land surveyors: subcontracting photogrammetric capture, pricesRoofs, large sites, unreachable façades: what a drone pilot brings to a surveying practice — RTK/PPK capture, raw deliverables, responsibilities. Method, 2026 prices.
• Municipal aerial thermography by drone: roof heat loss mapping, priceMapping roof heat loss across a village or neighbourhood by drone: what replaces yesterday's aircraft campaigns, winter conditions, resident engagement. Method, 2026 prices.
• Corporate video by drone: factory, headquarters, recruitment — method, priceCorporate video with aerial footage: what drones bring to factory, headquarters or employer-brand films, how an industrial shoot is prepared, image rights. Method, 2026 prices.
• Earthworks monitoring on development zones by drone: volumes, priceDevelopers and earthworks contractors: monitoring development-zone earthworks by drone — objective cut-and-fill volumes, progress statements, monthly orthophotos. Method, 2026 prices.
• Drones for roofers: quoting a roof without climbing, priceRoofers and waterproofers: what drones change in pre-sales — quoting without ladder or lift, before/after documentation, safer after-sales. In-house or outsourced, 2026 prices.
• Drones for campsites and outdoor hospitality: media, site map, inspections, priceCampsite and resort managers: aerial photos and videos that sell the site, orthophoto master plan, off-season inspections (roofs, pools, banks). Overflight rules, 2026 prices.
• Agricultural greenhouse drone inspection: glazing, films, thermography, priceGreenhouse growers: inspecting a greenhouse estate by drone — hail-broken glazing, torn plastic films, whitewash, heat loss from heated houses, insurance files. Method, 2026 prices.
• Social housing stock audit by drone: roofs, façades, priceSocial landlords: auditing dozens of estates by drone — roofs, façades, thermal — to feed the asset strategy and prioritise refurbishment against rental bans. Method, 2026 prices.
• Tramway and BRT construction monitoring by drone: urban corridors, priceTramway, BRT and street redevelopment works: monitoring kilometres of urban corridor by drone — per-section progress, interfaces, client communication. Method, 2026 prices.
• Drones for property diagnosticians: EPC, energy audits, priceProperty diagnosticians: what drones add to EPCs and regulatory energy audits — seeing the roof and insulation otherwise estimated, envelope thermography, evidential photos. Outsource or equip, 2026 prices.
• Grain Silo Drone Thermal Monitoring: Self-Heating, Dust Risk, PriceGrain silo: an exterior drone thermal survey spots the hot spots that signal self-heating, without sending anyone into a combustible-dust atmosphere. Method, honest limits, ICPE framework, 2026 prices.
• Drone As-Built Utility Surveys: Class-A Georeferencing Before BackfillingOpen trench, exposed network: what a drone brings to hit DT-DICT class-A precision before backfilling — method, accuracy, honest limits, 2026 prices.
• Canal lock inspection by drone: inland waterways, priceLock gates, chamber walls, towpaths, aquatic vegetation: how drones document the condition of inland waterways for canal and lock managers. Method, regulations, 2026 prices.
• U-space: the drone's digital airspace, what it changes for professionalsU-space, the drone's new digital airspace in France: designated zones, mandatory USSP services, DGAC rollout in Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse. What it changes for a professional operator.
• Drone thermal monitoring of waste sorting centres: lithium battery fires, priceRDF bales, paper and cardboard, end-of-life vehicles: why mis-sorted lithium batteries set waste sorting centres on fire, what the 22 December 2023 order requires, and where drone thermography complements fixed detection. Method, 2026 prices.
• Data centre drone inspection and thermography: method, priceRoofs packed with equipment, mission-critical cooling, absolute service continuity: what drones bring to data centre operators — thermal imaging of chillers, roof condition, security. Method, 2026 prices.
• School building roof audits by drone: method, priceFrench local authorities manage hundreds of ageing school roofs. What a drone campaign changes: pooled audits during holidays, asbestos cement, works prioritisation, solar potential. Method, 2026 prices.
• Pre-construction condition surveys of neighbouring buildings by drone: priceBefore heavy urban works, a pre-construction survey records the condition of neighbouring buildings. What drones add: upper façades, roofs, chimney stacks, dated defensible images. Method, 2026 prices.
• Aquatic centre and indoor pool drone thermography: method, priceIndoor pools are among the most energy-hungry public buildings per m². What drone thermography reveals: envelope losses, glazed roofs, roofing above a chlorinated atmosphere. Method, 2026 prices.
