Construction Monitoring FAQ — Midvale, UT
How does drone construction monitoring work in Midvale?
We fly your Midvale construction site at scheduled intervals (weekly, monthly, or milestone-based) to capture aerial progress photos, orthomosaics, and volumetric data. Each visit produces comparable datasets for tracking earthwork and structure progress.
Can drones measure earthwork volumes?
Yes. Drone photogrammetry produces accurate surface models that can be differenced between visits to calculate cut/fill volumes, stockpile quantities, and import/export tracking with 2-5% accuracy compared to traditional methods.
What format are the progress reports?
Deliverables include geo-referenced orthomosaics, progress comparison overlays, volumetric reports, and a web-based viewer for stakeholders. All data is timestamped and geo-located for documentation.

What is the Midvale slag pile redevelopment?
The Midvale slag pile is a large brownfield site from historic smelting operations. The site is being remediated and redeveloped into a mixed-use community with residential, commercial, and park space. The massive scale of this brownfield redevelopment creates years of construction monitoring and aerial mapping demand.
What drone services are most needed in Midvale?
The Midvale Main Street transit-oriented development and the slag pile brownfield redevelopment are the primary drivers. These large-scale projects require ongoing construction monitoring, progress documentation, and environmental data collection. Residential infill provides additional data collection work.
Is Midvale in controlled airspace?
Yes, Midvale is within the Salt Lake City International Airport Class B airspace. LAANC authorization is required for all flights.
How does Midvale elevation affect drone flying?
Midvale sits at approximately 4,300 feet elevation. The elevation reduces drone performance. Summer temperatures above 95 degrees compound the density altitude effect.
Does Midvale have its own drone ordinances?
No. Under Utah state law SB 167 (2019), only the state may regulate drone flight paths. Midvale follows FAA Part 107 regulations.
What makes Midvale unique for aerial imaging?
