Drone Operations

Enviro-Tech Diving’s aerial drone services provide high-resolution inspections and coastal surveys for docks, vessels, spill sites, and remote terrain.

What We Offer

Aerial Drone Capabilities

Our fleet of aerial drones is equipped with high-resolution imaging, GPS navigation, and real-time data streaming capabilities. These tools are indispensable in a variety of operations:

Aerial Inspections: We perform comprehensive visual inspections of docks, vessels, facilities, and waterfront infrastructure. These inspections help identify damage, corrosion, or operational hazards from angles that are impossible to achieve safely from the ground or water.
Coastal & Spill Site Surveys: Drones are ideal for surveying long stretches of coastline, remote terrain, and spill sites—especially in areas that are hazardous or difficult to access on foot or by vessel.
Project Planning & Documentation: Our drone services support construction and repair operations with aerial mapping, photogrammetry, and 3D modeling, ensuring teams on land and sea work from accurate, up-to-date information.

Supporting Diver & ROV Operations

Our drone team often works in tandem with our dive crews and ROV operators to create a holistic picture of complex environments. While divers and ROVs capture detailed underwater data, drones provide top-down visuals of the surface, infrastructure, and site conditions.

This integrated approach has proven particularly valuable in projects such as:

Environmental Surveys: From seafloor assessments to outfall mapping, drones are used to track surface conditions, monitor water boundaries, and coordinate sampling zones.
Emergency Spill Response: In spill scenarios, drones are deployed immediately to assess impact zones, monitor containment efforts, and guide responders to the most critical areas.
Pre-Construction Site Surveys: Before a diver enters the water, our drone team can scout the site, identify obstructions or hazards, and record conditions for regulatory reporting.

Drone Operations & Aerial Inspections

At Enviro-Tech Diving, Inc., we bring a new dimension to marine and environmental operations with our aerial drone services. Our drone program enhances visibility, improves safety, and provides cost-effective support for projects where traditional methods are limited by access, visibility, or environmental conditions.

Whether integrated with dive and ROV operations or deployed independently, our drone team delivers high-resolution visuals and data for planning, inspection, and environmental monitoring—especially along the challenging and remote Alaskan coastline.
