Drones / Robotics / UAVs
Gedeon GRC Consulting utilizes drone technology to enhance its services to clients in both the public and private sectors, based on a customer-focused and problem-solving approach — value-added solutions that save money, enhance safety and optimize schedule.
Overview
Engineering-grade data, captured from anywhere
Our drone division provides our engineers and clients with cutting-edge video footage and still imagery used for exterior facade assessments, comprehensive structural inspections using ultrasonic thickness (UT) gauges, and moisture detection using advanced thermal imaging.
Our robotics department is equipped with several platforms carrying state-of-the-art technology and capabilities — underwater sonar sensors, UT-equipped confined-space drones, and advanced LiDAR scanning tools — for a broad range of engineering applications. With these tools we generate survey-accurate 3D models, CAD files, section drawings and sonar mosaics without putting staff in harm’s way, and in a fraction of the time of traditional methods.
Gedeon GRC collaborates solely with certified pilots and carries a comprehensive insurance program addressing drone safety and security, protecting our clients and the public in general. Learn more on our Drones & Robotics division page.

Full service scope
Eleven ways we put the fleet to work
Visual Inspections
High-resolution video and still imagery for facades and structures.
Thermal Inspections
Advanced thermal imaging, including moisture detection.
Multispectral Imaging
Seeing conditions the naked eye cannot.
Ultrasonic Thickness (UT) Measurements
UT gauges for comprehensive structural inspections.
LiDAR Scanning
Advanced scanning for survey-accurate geometry capture.
Scan to BIM
Turning point clouds into usable building information models.
Sonar Mosaic Mapping
Underwater sonar sensors mapping what divers cannot easily see.
Photogrammetry
Imagery processed into measurable 3D models.
Survey Support
Supplementing traditional survey with rapid aerial capture.
Construction Progress Monitoring
Regular flights that document progress objectively.
Promotional Photography & Videography
Project imagery worth showing off.
How we work
Safer, faster, and documented
Scope the mission
A customer-focused, problem-solving approach: we define what data the engineering question actually needs.
Fly safe & insured
Certified pilots only, backed by a comprehensive insurance program addressing drone safety and security.
Capture everything
UAV, confined-space and underwater platforms collect imagery, UT readings, thermal, LiDAR and sonar data — in a fraction of the time of traditional methods.
Deliver engineering products
Survey-accurate 3D models, CAD files, section drawings and sonar mosaics — reviewed by the same engineers who will use them.
Save money, enhance safety, optimize schedule — without putting staff in harm’s way.
