Drone Mapping & Progress Documentation for New Albany Industrial Sites
Data centers, advanced manufacturing and the suppliers around them make New Albany one of the busiest construction areas in Ohio. These are large, fast-moving sites with many trades on them. We give the GC, owner and design team the same current map every month.
Drone Progress Mapping in New Albany, Ohio
Read the transcript
New Albany's business park is building at a scale where walking the site tells you very little.
So we map it. Every month, from the same flight plan, so each map lines up with the last.
You see exactly what moved: grading, stockpiles, laydown, and building progress. Volumes come from the same flight, and everything lands in Procore within days.
I'm Adrian with ARO Aerial. On sites this big, a monthly map is the only way everyone looks at the same picture.
Progress programs start at programs start at ,950 a month. Request a quote at aroaerial.com.
What we're flying here
Business park scale
The New Albany International Business Park is home to large data center campuses and manufacturing plants, with more sites in planning. On a 50- or 100-acre site, walking the job tells you little. A monthly orthomosaic with earthwork volume checks shows exactly what moved, where and how much.
Licking County growth
Intel's Ohio One site in nearby Licking County, and the roads, utilities and suppliers following it, mean more greenfield work across the county line. Before design, our LiDAR topo gives civil teams existing-conditions terrain from $4,500 per project, with ground control set by your surveyor.
Cleared to fly before we arrive
New Albany sits northeast of CMH. Much of it is outside the airport's surface airspace, but we check every site against the LAANC grid before scheduling. Large campuses can include restricted zones or no-fly requests from the owner. We coordinate those with site security and the superintendent before the first flight.
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.
