Surveying a concrete-arch dam in one afternoon

We had a narrow weather window, so the whole crew mobilized at dawn. Ground control went in fast, the RTK base locked, and we flew the structure in three passes.

We leave the camera's positioning data embedded in the raw frames so every image is self-locating when it hits the processing pipeline. Handy in the field — just remember to scrub it before anything goes public.

Full point cloud went to the client the following week. Methodology is in the capabilities brief.
