Drone surveying & photogrammetry in Colmar
Around Colmar, large footprints are measured fast and well by drone: development zones, logistics platforms, farms and quarries across Grand Est. A one-hour flight yields an orthophoto, contour lines and a georeferenced point cloud. With 68,703 inhabitants, Colmar generates steady demand in Grand Est: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
Colmar's economy relies on tourism (Christmas markets among the most visited in France), winegrowing, food processing and industry (Liebherr, Timken). Typical drone work: wine-tourism films over the vineyards, winery communication, real estate, construction monitoring and thermal surveys of historic buildings. Prefecture of the Haut-Rhin and capital of Alsace wines, Colmar boasts a remarkably preserved historic centre: Little Venice and its canals, half-timbered houses, the Maison des Têtes, the Unterlinden Museum and its Issenheim altarpiece.
