Industrial Asset Inspections
Inspect the corridor or the facility without stopping it.
A utility corridor, rail line, or industrial facility needs inspecting or documenting, for clearance planning, maintenance, or a corridor design, and every traditional option means either shutting something down or putting a crew somewhere they'd rather not be: trackside, a live corridor, an operating plant. You need current, accurate data on the asset without occupying the track, closing the lane, or pausing production.
Scope your inspectionWhat you get
Aerial LiDAR and imagery of the corridor, facility, or asset: trackside features, conductor and right-of-way mapping, encroachment and vegetation flags, existing-conditions surfaces for engineering design, delivered as classified point clouds, orthomosaics, and CAD/GIS-ready exports.
What it lets you do
Plan maintenance and clearance work from accurate corridor data instead of a walked inspection. Feed real existing-conditions surfaces straight into an engineering design file for a utility or roadway corridor project. Re-fly the same corridor on a repeatable pattern next quarter and compare directly against today's capture, without ever taking the track or the line out of service.
Why Axis
TWIC-credentialed for Ship Channel terminals, refineries, and other regulated facilities that turn away uncredentialed vendors at the gate. RF Safety certified to fly close to cell towers, telecom equipment, and other RF-emitting infrastructure without a site shutdown. OSHA 10 credentialed for badging onto active industrial sites, plus the same survey-grade LiDAR standard used across every other service.
Frequently asked questions.
Can you inspect a facility or corridor without pausing operations?
That's the point of flying it. Aerial capture reads the corridor or facility from outside the safety envelope of active operations: no track occupancy, no lane closure, no shutdown required in most cases. We'll scope the flight around your specific safety and access constraints.
Do you need site access credentials to work at our facility?
We hold TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Credential) for secure maritime and energy facilities, OSHA 10 for badging onto active industrial and construction sites, and RF Safety certification for work around transmitting infrastructure: the credentials most gated industrial sites require before letting a vendor through the gate.
Will the corridor or facility data work in our engineering software?
Yes. Deliverables export to standard CAD/GIS formats (.dwg and equivalents) so existing-conditions surfaces drop directly into a design file.
Can you repeat the same inspection on a schedule?
Yes. Corridor and facility inspections fly a repeatable pattern, so a follow-up capture next quarter or next year compares cleanly against the original. That's useful for tracking encroachment, vegetation growth, or asset condition over time.
