Drone construction site monitoring in Lyon

Free quote — construction site monitoring in Lyon

Between riverside roads and tight footprints, construction sites in Lyon lack the standback for ground photography: the drone provides the missing height and repeats the exact same view at every pass. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Lyon: site access, the department's airspace context (69) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.

Greater Lyon sits under the CTR of Lyon-Bron business airport, right next to the city, and is bordered to the east by the Lyon-Saint-Exupéry CTR: almost all urban flights happen at reduced height after coordination with air navigation services. The dense centre (Presqu'île, Croix-Rousse slopes) also requires the built-up-area scenario with prior notification to the prefecture. Local demand is driven by a powerful economy: headquarters and laboratories of the chemical valley (Seveso sites, no overflight without agreement), Part-Dieu and Gerland construction projects, commercial real estate, nearby vineyards (Beaujolais, Côtes du Rhône) and a UNESCO-listed heritage — Vieux-Lyon, Fourvière — much in demand for tourism and film work.
