Drone facade inspection in Villeurbanne
Quayside buildings exposed to the damp of the Rhône, old façades in the centre, recent blocks: in Villeurbanne, the drone photographs every elevation with a telephoto lens, detects cracks and delamination, and feeds renovation files. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Villeurbanne: site access, the department's airspace context (69) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.
The market is that of a fast-changing city: the iconic 1930s Gratte-Ciel towers and their contemporary extension, regeneration of the Grandclément and Gratte-Ciel districts, the La Doua campus in constant energy retrofit, and numerous co-owned buildings needing roof and façade inspections before renovation. Villeurbanne sits squarely inside the Lyon-Bron CTR, the business airfield being only a few kilometres east: nearly every flight needs an air-navigation protocol and a capped altitude.
