Drone Pilot: Edward Ryder
FAA Part 107: Current
Drone: DJI Mavic 2 Zoom
Capture Date: March 1, 2025
Location: Fort Morgan, CO
Area Covered:0.020723 km²
Capture Start: 11:49:58AM
Capture End: 12:20:38PM
Flight Time: 35 minutes and 20 seconds
Images Captured: 284
Maximum Altitude: 180 ft
Average Altitude: 180 ft
Total Distance Flown: 1,378 ft
Foundation Progress: The high-resolution orthophoto clearly displays well-defined foundation layouts for all residential units, confirming a robust base for future construction.
Framing Initiation: Structural framing is now visible on approximately 85% of the buildings, marking a significant progression toward vertical construction.
Material Staging: Construction materials (lumber, rebar, etc.) are systematically organized into designated staging areas, ensuring an efficient workflow for on-site teams.
Elevation Insights:
Highest Elevation: Approximately 1,341.00 meters (≈4,399 ft)
Lowest Elevation: Approximately 1,317.00 meters (≈4,317 ft)
Elevation Variation: About 24.00 meters (≈79 ft) across the site
GSD: 1.9 cm/pixel, ensuring exceptional precision for accurate grading and drainage planning.
Implications: The precise elevation data from the DSM confirms that the site is being graded optimally, which is crucial for proper water drainage and overall structural stability.
Horizontal Accuracy (CE90): 0.0.550 meters
Vertical Accuracy (LE90): 2.020 meters
Average Ground Sampling Distance (GSD): 1.9 cm
GPS Errors: 1.22 meters
Foundations: All residential unit foundations are fully complete, establishing a robust base for the project.
Framing: Approximately 85% of the structures now display visible framing, with select units already entering the roofing phase. This marks a significant milestone in the transition from groundwork to vertical construction.
Material Organization: The site is highly organized, with clearly delineated staging areas for construction materials and well-defined access routes.
Logistical Efficiency: Improved access routes facilitate smooth movement of equipment and supplies, minimizing delays and ensuring efficient on-site operations.
Ground Sampling Distance (GSD): 1.9 cm/pixel
Horizontal Accuracy (CE90): 0.785meters
Vertical Accuracy (LE90): 2.085 meters
GPS Errors: 1.24 meters
Processing Time: 55 minutes, 33 seconds
These metrics confirm the high precision and reliability of our drone data, which is essential for effective construction monitoring and decision-making.
Images Captured: 284 high-resolution images (available in JPG and DNG formats), including 8 cardinal-direction views for comprehensive site coverage.
Orthophoto & DSM: High-resolution outputs that support marketing, project management, and site planning, accessible via the dedicated client portal on www.303-drones.net.
Videos: Dynamic 400’ Orbit and Hyperlapse footage capturing the site's progress, providing a visual narrative of the construction evolution.
Framing & Roofing: Complete remaining framing and initiate roofing installations across all units.
Utility Installations: Begin essential utility installations (plumbing, electrical, sewage) as the project transitions to interior work.
Grading Adjustments: Implement final grading adjustments based on DSM insights to optimize drainage and ensure structural stability.
Continuous Improvement: Consistent advancements in structural framing and organized material staging underscore the project’s strong management.
Data-Driven Decisions: Detailed elevation data addresses stakeholder concerns regarding drainage and grading, facilitating informed decision-making for contractors, developers, real estate agents, and investors.
