Municipal Drone Services in Alberta

Drone services for Alberta municipalities and counties: infrastructure asset mapping, landfill and lagoon volume surveys, road condition assessment, storm and flood response. Transport Canada certified, $5M insured.

Published 2026-07-07 · UAV Imaging Inc.

UAV Imaging supports Alberta municipalities, counties and municipal districts with a focused mapping and inspection stack: infrastructure asset mapping, landfill and lagoon volume surveys, road and drainage condition assessment, and rapid storm and flood response. Deliverables are organized so public works, engineering and emergency-management teams can act on a measurable record without re-formatting.

What we do for municipalities

Infrastructure asset mapping

Orthomosaic and 3D mapping of municipal assets — road networks, bridges and culverts, water and wastewater infrastructure, parks and facilities — feeds the asset register and GIS with current, geo-referenced imagery instead of aging aerials.

Landfill and lagoon volume surveys

Photogrammetry measures the fill surface of a landfill against a defined base to compute consumed and remaining airspace, and measures wastewater lagoon and biosolids volumes. Repeat flights track fill rate for capacity planning and regulatory reporting.

Road and drainage condition assessment

Network-scale orthomosaic capture documents road surface condition, shoulder and ditch state and drainage problems, geo-referenced so public works can prioritize a maintenance program against a measurable record rather than windshield surveys.

Storm and flood response

Rapid aerial assessment maps flood extent, washouts and infrastructure damage across a jurisdiction faster than a ground patrol, giving emergency management a current picture for crew dispatch and, where needed, documentation for disaster-recovery funding claims.

Public-project progress documentation

Recurring flights document capital-project progress — road builds, facility construction, utility upgrades — for council reporting, contractor oversight and the public record.

Common deliverables

Regulatory and credential coverage

Where we work

Edmonton-based dispatch covering municipalities, counties and municipal districts across central and northern Alberta, with multi-day deployments staged from regional hotels for larger jurisdictions and network-scale road or corridor scopes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you measure landfill airspace and remaining capacity?
Yes. A drone survey measures the current fill surface against a defined base or a prior survey to compute consumed and remaining airspace, delivered as a volume report plus surface model. Repeat flights on a quarterly or annual cycle track fill rate for capacity planning and regulatory reporting.
Do you assess road and gravel-road condition across a county?
Yes. Orthomosaic capture of a road network documents surface condition, washboarding, shoulder and ditch state and drainage issues, geo-referenced so public works can prioritize a maintenance program against a measurable record rather than windshield surveys.
Can you support storm and flood response for a municipality?
Yes. Rapid aerial assessment maps flood extent, washouts and infrastructure damage across a jurisdiction faster than a ground patrol, giving emergency management a current picture for crew dispatch and, where needed, documentation for disaster-recovery funding claims.
Do you carry the insurance and certification a municipality requires?
Yes. Transport Canada Advanced RPAS certified pilots, $5M aviation liability above the 2026 $2M minimum, and registration on ISN, ComplyWorks and Avetta. Certificates of insurance and pilot credentials are provided for the procurement file on request.
