Midtown West Dock-Based Drone Operations FAQ

Can you scan the large exhibition halls at Javits Center?

Yes, we regularly work at Javits Center for exhibition documentation, booth layout planning, and venue marketing. Our NavVis mobile scanning captures the massive halls (over 1 million sqft total) efficiently. We coordinate with Javits operations and typically work during setup/breakdown periods or between events.

How do you handle drone work on the tallest Hudson Yards towers?

Supertall towers like 30 Hudson Yards (1,296 feet) require careful planning. We obtain LAANC authorization, coordinate with building security, and typically fly during early morning calm conditions. The Hudson River corridor provides favorable flight paths. Wind conditions above 60 floors are carefully monitored.

Do you work with Hudson Yards property management?

Yes, we work with Related Companies and other Hudson Yards property managers for tenant improvement scanning, common area documentation, and building-wide digital twin projects. The modern infrastructure at Hudson Yards makes scanning efficient, with excellent freight elevator access and coordinated building management.

What's the difference between scanning new Hudson Yards buildings vs. older Theater District buildings?

Hudson Yards buildings have modern BIM from construction, efficient freight access, large open floor plates, and coordinated systems - making scanning straightforward. Older Theater District buildings may lack documentation, have smaller elevators, irregular layouts, and complex renovations over time. Both require expertise, but the approach differs significantly.

Can you document construction progress at Hudson Yards development sites?

Yes, we provide construction progress documentation using drone photogrammetry, LiDAR, and ground-based scanning. Regular site visits create a record of progress for owners, general contractors, and stakeholders. Our documentation integrates with BIM workflows and supports construction management processes.
