EU regulations, real prices, mission preparation: concrete answers before commissioning a drone service.

• Tramway and BRT construction monitoring by drone: urban corridors, priceTramway, BRT and street redevelopment works: monitoring kilometres of urban corridor by drone — per-section progress, interfaces, client communication. Method, 2026 prices.
• Drones for property diagnosticians: EPC, energy audits, priceProperty diagnosticians: what drones add to EPCs and regulatory energy audits — seeing the roof and insulation otherwise estimated, envelope thermography, evidential photos. Outsource or equip, 2026 prices.
• Grain Silo Drone Thermal Monitoring: Self-Heating, Dust Risk, PriceGrain silo: an exterior drone thermal survey spots the hot spots that signal self-heating, without sending anyone into a combustible-dust atmosphere. Method, honest limits, ICPE framework, 2026 prices.
• Drone As-Built Utility Surveys: Class-A Georeferencing Before BackfillingOpen trench, exposed network: what a drone brings to hit DT-DICT class-A precision before backfilling — method, accuracy, honest limits, 2026 prices.
• Canal lock inspection by drone: inland waterways, priceLock gates, chamber walls, towpaths, aquatic vegetation: how drones document the condition of inland waterways for canal and lock managers. Method, regulations, 2026 prices.
• U-space: the drone's digital airspace, what it changes for professionalsU-space, the drone's new digital airspace in France: designated zones, mandatory USSP services, DGAC rollout in Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse. What it changes for a professional operator.
• Drone thermal monitoring of waste sorting centres: lithium battery fires, priceRDF bales, paper and cardboard, end-of-life vehicles: why mis-sorted lithium batteries set waste sorting centres on fire, what the 22 December 2023 order requires, and where drone thermography complements fixed detection. Method, 2026 prices.
• Data centre drone inspection and thermography: method, priceRoofs packed with equipment, mission-critical cooling, absolute service continuity: what drones bring to data centre operators — thermal imaging of chillers, roof condition, security. Method, 2026 prices.
• School building roof audits by drone: method, priceFrench local authorities manage hundreds of ageing school roofs. What a drone campaign changes: pooled audits during holidays, asbestos cement, works prioritisation, solar potential. Method, 2026 prices.
• Pre-construction condition surveys of neighbouring buildings by drone: priceBefore heavy urban works, a pre-construction survey records the condition of neighbouring buildings. What drones add: upper façades, roofs, chimney stacks, dated defensible images. Method, 2026 prices.
• Aquatic centre and indoor pool drone thermography: method, priceIndoor pools are among the most energy-hungry public buildings per m². What drone thermography reveals: envelope losses, glazed roofs, roofing above a chlorinated atmosphere. Method, 2026 prices.
• Sunlight and shading studies on a drone 3D model: method, priceLoss of sunlight from a building project, shadows cast on a photovoltaic roof: a drone-built 3D model simulates sun paths over the real environment, vegetation included. Method, 2026 prices.
• Drone spraying in steep-slope vineyards in France: 2026 rules, method, priceSlopes above 30%: spraying drones replace knapsack sprayers where tractors cannot go. What France's 2025 experimental framework allows in viticulture, how a campaign unfolds, 2026 per-hectare prices.
• Curtain wall and high-rise façade drone inspection: method, priceOffice towers and curtain walls: bonded glazing, gaskets, brackets — thousands of square metres impossible to examine from the ground. What drone inspection brings to landlords and property managers. Method, 2026 prices.
• Building rooftop extensions: the drone survey (roof, party walls), priceAdding floors to a building starts with an exact survey: roof geometry, party-wall profiles, rooftop structures, height limits. What drone photogrammetry brings to feasibility studies and permits. Method, 2026 prices.
• Retaining wall drone inspection: method, monitoring, priceCorniche roads, quaysides, walls on sloping streets: French municipalities manage kilometres of rarely inspected retaining walls. What drones document — bulging, cracks, drains — and how to monitor over time. 2026 prices.
• Green roof monitoring by drone: coverage, irrigation, maintenance, priceGreen roofs are multiplying under French regulatory obligations — but who checks they are alive? Coverage rate, dead zones, irrigation, membrane: what a photo, multispectral and thermal drone flight reveals. 2026 prices.
• Amusement ride and fairground attraction drone inspection: method, priceBig wheel, drop tower, roller coaster: between two approved-body inspections, drones document the steel structure — welds, bolted joints, corrosion — without a cherry picker or crane. Method, regulation, 2026 prices.
• Drone-assisted works acceptance: roof and façade quality control, decennial warrantyOn acceptance day, the roof and upper façades stay out of sight for both architect and developer. What a drone adds: precise, photographed and dated reservations, before the legal warranties start running. Method, 2026 prices.
• EV charging stations in car parks: drone siting surveys and thermal maintenance, priceSince 1 January 2025, French car parks with more than 20 spaces must install EV charging points. What drones add: siting surveys to plan the rollout, thermal maintenance of the charging cabinets. Method, 2026 prices.
• Concrete multi-storey car park drone inspection: corrosion, cracks, priceWith no roof waterproofing, exposed to tyre-borne chlorides and frost, the multi-storey car park is one of the fastest-ageing concrete structures. What drones document: cracks, spalling, visible corrosion. Method, 2026 prices.
