Drone aerial thermal imaging in Auxerre

Free quote — aerial thermal imaging in Auxerre

In Auxerre, the thermal camera reveals what damp from the Yonne and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté winters do to buildings: thermal bridges, wet insulation, network leaks. One flight at daybreak maps an entire building. With 34,634 inhabitants, Auxerre generates steady demand in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: a pilot covering the area prices your mission 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.

Aerial thermal imaging in Auxerre: what budget should you plan?

When is the best time for thermography in Auxerre?

Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Auxerre (Bourgogne-Franche-Comté), 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.
