Drone Mapping, LiDAR & Site Documentation in Gahanna, Ohio

Drone Mapping in Gahanna, Ohio
Read the transcript
Gahanna sits right beside John Glenn Columbus International Airport, so most sites here are inside controlled airspace.
That doesn't stop the work. It just means planning. Before every flight, we get FAA authorization through LAANC and fly to the approved ceiling.
Then we deliver what the project needs: a measured map you can zoom from the whole site down to a single stall, monthly progress records, or LiDAR topo along the creek corridors.
I'm Adrian with ARO Aerial. Most Gahanna jobs need an airspace approval, and we handle that before we ever show up.

What we're flying here
Airport-area work
Office, flex-industrial and hotel projects near CMH and along the I-270 and Hamilton Road corridors need current site conditions and regular progress records. Our monthly orthomosaics and saved-position photos give owners and lenders a consistent picture of the job between site visits.
Creekside and Big Walnut Creek
Redevelopment around Creekside and work along the Big Walnut Creek corridor often involves wooded banks and floodplain. Photo mapping can't see the ground there; our LiDAR can, giving designers bare-earth terrain and 1-ft contours without a ground crew cutting lines along the creek.
Cleared to fly before we arrive
Much of Gahanna lies inside the Class C airspace around John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH). Every flight is checked against the FAA's LAANC grid, and we get authorization before mobilizing. Where the grid ceiling is low, we plan lower altitudes or adjust the capture so the deliverable still meets your accuracy requirements.
Pick the data your project needs
Every quote is fixed before we fly. Data is checked against your surveyor's control where accuracy matters. ARO Aerial isn't a licensed surveying or engineering firm; we work alongside yours.
