The Clear Advantage of Drone Bridge Inspections
Drone inspections give you faster, safer, and more cost-effective evaluations compared to traditional methods. With quick initial assessments, our clients benefit from:
Improved Safety – No need for inspectors to work at heights or over water, eliminating risks tied to scaffolding, rope access, or under-bridge units (UBITs).
Lower Costs – Significant savings on labor, equipment rentals, and traffic control.
Faster Data Collection – Large bridge spans can be inspected in hours instead of days.
High-Quality Data – 4K cameras, zoom optics, thermal imaging, and LiDAR deliver precise defect detection and digital documentation.
Minimal Traffic Disruption – Inspections require no lane closures or heavy equipment.
Drones make it easy to detect cracks, scaling, delamination, disintegration, erosion, alkali reactions, and other common defects across piers, pier caps, headers, abutments, wing walls, parapets, fascia, soffits, and beams.
The result? A detailed, high-resolution record of existing conditions that forms a baseline for OSIM inspections—making it simpler to track changes over time, assess risks, and protect load capacity.

Bridge Modelling & Inspections
Project Example: Portage Bridge Drone Bridge Inspection – Ottawa, Ontario
Recon Aerial Calgary was contracted to perform a drone bridge inspection for a client in Ottawa, Ontario. The initial scope focused on examining the substructure for nesting birds ahead of deck reconstruction, while also providing a preliminary condition assessment of the substructure.
In addition, our team produced a basic 3D tie-point model and mesh, exported to Autodesk for further analysis and planning.
