Drone facade inspection in Auxerre

Free quote — facade inspection in Auxerre

Quayside buildings exposed to the damp of the Yonne, old façades in the centre, recent blocks: in Auxerre, the drone photographs every elevation with a telephoto lens, detects cracks and delamination, and feeds renovation files. In Auxerre as across the department (89), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Prefecture of the Yonne, Auxerre offers from the right bank one of Burgundy's finest river skylines: Saint-Étienne cathedral, Saint-Germain abbey with its Carolingian crypts and Saint-Pierre church terraced above the Yonne quays and the marina. The clock tower and half-timbered houses make a highly photogenic old town. Auxerre-Branches aerodrome (LFLA) to the north-west is the main constraint; flights along the Yonne and the Nivernais canal call for the usual care over busy waterways. The Auxerre economy blends administration, food processing, timber and above all wine: Chablis and its grands crus are twenty minutes away, with the Irancy and Saint-Bris vineyards.

Does the drone replace scaffolding for a façade survey in Auxerre?

How accurate is the photographic survey?

At 5 m from the facade, resolution reaches roughly 1 mm per pixel: microcracks, joint defects and early corrosion are clearly identifiable and measurable on the images.
