Drone construction site monitoring in Cholet
On the large sites around Cholet, the drone replaces hours of walking: a site orthophoto, comparison with the previous pass and earthworks volumes computed in the same flight. From Église du Sacré-Cœur to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Cholet and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
For drone pilots the environment is fairly permissive: Cholet-Le Pontreau aerodrome (LFOU) to the north-east is the main point of attention, and the surroundings of Lake Ribou, a leisure area and drinking-water source, deserve care. The local market is distinctly B2B: industrial videos, factory and business-park construction monitoring, corporate real estate, sports events (Cholet Basket, the nearby Mondial du Lion equestrian event). Maine-et-Loire's second city, Cholet built its prosperity on textiles — the red Cholet handkerchief remains an emblem — and is still an industrial stronghold: children's fashion, footwear, food processing and plastics thrive in one of western France's most dynamic employment basins.
