Drone Photogrammetry in Portland — FAQ

Is drone photogrammetry legal in Portland?

Yes — under FAA Part 107 with LAANC. PDX Class C airspace affects north and northeast Portland. Areas south of downtown and in Washington County have more accessible altitude ceilings.

What deliverables do you provide?

Orthomosaic maps, DSMs, DTMs, 3D point clouds, contour maps, and cut/fill volume reports for Portland's infrastructure and development projects.

How does weather affect operations?

Portland's rainy season (October-March) limits outdoor drone operations. We maximize summer dry season scheduling and operate during dry windows year-round.

What accuracy do you achieve?

With GCPs, our DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise achieves 1-2cm accuracy meeting ODOT and engineering design tolerances.

Portland Drone Photogrammetry FAQ

Why is 3D scanning in demand for Portland's construction market?

Portland has over $9.3 billion in construction starts, with major projects like the Albina Vision restoration, OMSI District development, and OHSU hospital expansion driving demand. 3D laser scanning provides the precision documentation needed for complex renovation, new construction coordination, and historic preservation compliance across these diverse project types.

Do you offer drone inspection for Portland's bridges?

Yes, Portland is known as "Bridgetown" with historic crossings including the Hawthorne Bridge (1910), Steel Bridge (1912), Broadway Bridge (1913), and St. Johns Bridge (1931). Our DJI Matrice 350 RTK drones equipped with LiDAR sensors can safely inspect bridge decks, piers, and structural elements without lane closures or scaffolding.

How does scan-to-BIM support Portland's mass timber construction?

Portland is a national leader in mass timber and cross-laminated timber construction. Our scan-to-BIM services capture existing site conditions and structural elements with millimeter accuracy, delivering precise BIM-conversion-ready scan data that timber engineers import into Revit for connection detailing, prefabrication coordination, and ensuring proper fit during assembly.

Can you scan historic buildings in Portland's preservation districts?

Absolutely. Portland has numerous historic districts and landmarks including the Pittock Mansion, Skidmore Old Town, and buildings along the waterfront corridor. Our non-contact laser scanning technology captures building geometry, ornamental details, and facade conditions without any physical impact, producing heritage-grade documentation that satisfies preservation review requirements.

What is your response time for 3D scanning projects in Portland?

We offer avg 1-hour response time for urgent scanning requests across the Portland metro area. Our team serves all of Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties, including downtown Portland, the Pearl District, industrial areas along the Willamette, and suburban developments in Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Lake Oswego.

Do you provide LiDAR surveying for Portland infrastructure projects?

Yes, we provide aerial and terrestrial LiDAR surveying for infrastructure projects throughout the Portland metro. With federal infrastructure funding driving highway reconstruction, bridge work, and transit improvements, our LiDAR drone surveying delivers topographic mapping and volumetric analysis that supports design and construction verification for public works projects.
