Drone Inspections in Fort Lauderdale — FAQ

How do drones support condo recertification?
SB 4-D requires periodic structural inspections. Drone thermal and visual imaging captures facade conditions, spalling, rebar exposure, and water intrusion without scaffolding — faster and less disruptive for occupied condo buildings.
What data do you capture?
48MP RGB, thermal (640×512), and 4K video. Thermal detects moisture penetration and concrete delamination — critical failure indicators for salt-air-exposed oceanfront structures.
Can drones inspect marine infrastructure?
Yes — seawalls, docks, bridge piers, and marina structures along the Intracoastal. Drone inspections access areas difficult to reach by boat or scaffold.
How does salt air affect inspections?
Salt air accelerates concrete deterioration, making regular inspections critical. Our thermal imaging detects subsurface moisture and delamination that visual inspection misses.
How often should Fort Lauderdale buildings be inspected?
SB 4-D mandates recertification at 30 years (25 within 3 miles of coast). Between certifications, annual inspections catch deterioration early.

Port Everglades has additional security restrictions. We plan flights carefully and schedule during optimal airspace windows.
How do Florida SB 4-D inspections affect Fort Lauderdale buildings?
Florida SB 4-D requires structural inspections for buildings 25 years or older within 3 miles of the coast (or 30 years elsewhere). Most Fort Lauderdale beach buildings and many throughout Broward now require these milestone inspections. Our drone inspection services provide detailed facade documentation to support structural engineers.

Yes, we partner with marinas, yacht clubs, and marine businesses throughout Fort Lauderdale for facility documentation, yacht scanning, and digital twin projects. We understand marina scheduling requirements and can coordinate with dock masters and vessel captains for optimal access.
