Drone aerial thermal imaging in Beauvais

Free quote — aerial thermal imaging in Beauvais

Gas-heated houses, 1970s schools, warehouses: the building stock of Beauvais offers textbook targets for aerial thermography. One pass over the district ranks heat losses and puts renovation priorities on solid ground. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Beauvais and its department (60) match equipment and flight plan to each order.

Prefecture of the Oise, Beauvais boasts in its Saint-Pierre cathedral the tallest Gothic choir ever built (48.5 m under the vault) — an architectural vertigo left unfinished, together with an astronomical clock and the early-medieval Basse-Œuvre church. The major constraint is Beauvais-Tillé airport (LFOB), France's tenth-busiest airport thanks to low-cost traffic: its CTR covers the city and requires coordination for most urban flights. The Beauvais economy combines farm machinery (AGCO Massey Ferguson, France's largest tractor factory), cosmetics and Picardy agriculture.
