Memphis Dock-Based Drone Operations FAQ

What types of Memphis projects benefit from 3D laser scanning?
Memphis's industrial and logistics facilities — driven by FedEx operations and the broader distribution sector — benefit from as-built scanning for warehouse renovations and expansions. The city's active adaptive reuse of historic office buildings into residential units also relies on accurate existing-conditions surveys that our FARO and Leica scanners provide.
Can you scan historic buildings in Memphis's Victorian Village?
Our team is equipped to scan the ornate Victorian mansions and historic structures throughout Memphis. Using FARO Focus Premium and Leica RTC360 scanners, we capture intricate architectural details — carved woodwork, decorative facades, period interiors — at millimeter accuracy for preservation planning and restoration design.
Do you provide drone inspections for Memphis warehouse and logistics facilities?
Yes, our DJI Matrice 350 RTK drones are ideal for inspecting Memphis's extensive warehouse and logistics infrastructure. Drone-based inspections cover large roof areas, structural elements, and building envelopes far more efficiently than manual methods, providing detailed imagery and measurements without disrupting operations.
How does scan-to-BIM support Memphis's office-to-residential conversions?
Memphis has an active office-to-residential conversion market, especially downtown where vacancy reached 17%. Scan-to-BIM creates precise existing-conditions models of these buildings, enabling architects to design efficient residential layouts within historic structures while identifying structural, MEP, and code compliance issues early in the process.
What is your response time for Memphis scanning projects?
We maintain a avg 1-hour response time for all inquiries. Our team can deploy to Memphis with full scanning equipment — including FARO Focus Premium, Leica RTC360, Matterport Pro3, and DJI Matrice 350 RTK systems — to meet tight construction schedules and urgent documentation needs.
Can you scan large industrial sites like the Ford BlueOval City project area?
We are equipped to handle scanning projects of any scale. For mega-projects like the BlueOval City development area, we combine terrestrial laser scanning with aerial LiDAR surveys to create comprehensive site documentation covering topography, existing structures, and construction progress across expansive industrial campuses.
