Drone aerial thermal imaging in Amiens
In Amiens, the thermal camera reveals what damp from the Somme and Hauts-de-France winters do to buildings: thermal bridges, wet insulation, network leaks. One flight at daybreak maps an entire building. In Amiens as across the department (80), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.
Local demand centres on heritage — Notre-Dame cathedral, France's largest, whose upper levels are ideally documented by drone —, offices and logistics along the A29, expanding university campuses, and Great War remembrance tourism in the nearby Somme (memorials, battlefields). Amiens' sky is uncluttered: the Amiens-Glisy airfield to the east hosts light aviation requiring simple coordination, and no major CTR covers the city.
What the service covers in Amiens
- Surveys of historic buildings: heat loss, damp and defects invisible to the naked eye

€500–1,800 per job — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. The exact quote depends on the site, the deliverable and the airspace context in Amiens.
Flying in Amiens: the local framework
Thermographic flights in Amiens happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Amiens-Glisy) after a protocol: the dawn slots needed for measurement are built into the coordination.
Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

Frequently asked questions
Aerial thermal imaging in Amiens: what budget should you plan?
Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Amiens, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When is the best time for thermography in Amiens?
Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Amiens (Hauts-de-France), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.
How much solar capacity can be inspected in one day?
An automated flight covers 10 to 20 MWp per day depending on the plant layout, with automatic hot-spot detection and each faulty module located by its coordinates.
