What do I receive?
An interactive 3D thermal record, source imagery, raw data files and a summary of observations and limitations.
Thermal drone inspections · Western Canada
Thermal inspections delivered in 3D
We capture radiometric thermal data on buildings, bridges, civil infrastructure and industrial assets so teams can quickly locate, review and act on flagged observations.
Featured service
Understand your
building envelope.
In its full context.
From roof surfaces to wall junctions, get a thermal record that keeps observations attached to the building they came from.
For property owners, building-envelope consultants, roofing specialists and restoration teams investigating concerns or planning repair follow-up.
Request an inspection- What we capture
- Radiometric thermal and spatial data across the exterior, including suitable roof areas.
- What you receive
- A 3D thermal record with an interactive viewer, source imagery and a summary of observations and limitations.
- What it supports
- Focused investigation, repair planning and a baseline for future comparison.
The difference
The roof is only part of the picture.
The conventional approach
2D thermal orthomosaic
See roof-level heat patterns from above. Vertical surfaces, such as roof vents, flatten into the roof image, mixing their thermal readings with those of the surrounding roof and making accurate interpretation harder.
What we deliver
Radiometric thermal data in 3D
Inspect roofs, walls and junctions together, with temperature readings attached to their position.
The method
From a thermal capture
to evidence you can return to.
Every reading belongs to a surface.
We keep that relationship intact.
- 01
Capture
Collect radiometric thermal and spatial data during a suitable capture window.
- 02
Preserve
Keep each temperature reading attached to its position in 3D, together with its source imagery, environmental context and telemetry.
- 03
Review
Examine observations and flagged areas of concern in 3D context. Potential reflections are flagged in advance, helping you focus on observations that warrant closer review.
- 04
Use and share
Bring the 3D record into your own workflow to review or share with your team.
A worked inspection
What stood out.
What stood up to review.
One building, captured in six minutes.
Three areas automatically flagged. Two marked for investigation. One classified as a reflection.

Marked for investigation
A cold area beneath the east door.
The inspection automatically flagged a cold area beneath the east door. The reviewer marked it for investigation and noted possible door gasket failure. Measurements and review notes stay attached to the observation, which you can link to an asset in your existing register.

Painted metalDOOR-E
The observation stays attached to its location, source frames and review decision. Thermal observations guide further assessment; they do not establish a diagnosis on their own.
The data
See the evidence behind every point.
Review temperature, observations and viewing angles at each point, alongside solar exposure and weather at capture.
01
A measurable 3D record
Return to a wall, roof or component and review the readings where they were captured.
02
Source imagery and observations
Follow the measurement back to its frames, material inputs and recorded review decision.
03
A structured handoff
GeoJSON features carry geometry, coordinates, measurements and evidence for GIS and BIM workflows.
Beyond buildings
The asset changes.
The method stays precise.
Complex geometry makes context more valuable.
Tell us what you need measured.
Bridges & civil structures
Girders, bearings, piers and undersides. Surfaces that a top-down view cannot explain.
Industrial equipment
Vessels, equipment and complex surfaces where viewing angle and material matter.
Pipework & process assets
Small-diameter pipes, valve bodies and curved surfaces, measured in their spatial context.
Practical questions
How much does an inspection cost?
Pricing depends on the size and number of structures. Contact us for a custom quote; repeat inspections receive a discounted rate.
Where do you work?
Precision Flight Data is based in Calgary and serves projects across Western Canada.
Does this replace a professional assessment?
No. The survey provides located, traceable thermal evidence for further assessment; thermal observations alone do not establish a diagnosis.
