For Utilities, Corridors & Rights-of-Way

Miles of corridor, measured in one flight day.

Anchorpoint Geospatial flies aerial surveys of utility corridors, easements, and rights-of-way across the Puget Sound. Repeat missions at fixed parameters produce surfaces that can be differenced for change detection, so erosion, slope movement, and encroachment show up before they become a failure.

What We Do for Infrastructure

Linear-asset documentation without the windshield survey.

Infrastructure owners have the same problem: you own miles of linear asset, and documenting current condition across all of it is expensive. Truck-based inspections miss what’s inside the fence line. Traditional aerial surveys require fixed-wing operators and lead times that don’t match storm response or condition-driven work schedules.

Anchorpoint covers corridor work with repeat drone flights at centimeter-scale positioning. A single mission day captures miles of linear asset at one to two centimeter ground sample distance. Flight parameters are fixed across repeat visits so the outputs compare side-by-side for change detection.

The same flight data supports pavement condition review, signage and ROW inventory, erosion monitoring, slope stability tracking, and post-event damage assessment. When a storm, flood, or incident closes a corridor, a rapid-response flight produces dated evidence the next day.

Capabilities

Built for linear assets and repeat inspection cycles.

01 / CORRIDOR ORTHOMOSAICS

Corridor & ROW Orthomosaics

High-resolution RGB imagery along linear assets: rights-of-way, easements, pipelines, transmission lines, and access roads. Delivered as georeferenced GeoTIFF tiled for GIS ingest. Repeatable mission profiles for longitudinal comparison.

02 / CHANGE DETECTION

Repeat-Flight Change Detection

Differenced digital surface models and orthomosaics across repeat flights. Quantify erosion, slope movement, vegetation encroachment, and unauthorized fill before visual inspection would catch them. Outputs ready for GIS review.

03 / POST-EVENT CAPTURE

Post-Event Damage Documentation

Rapid-deployment flights after storms, floods, landslides, or incidents. Dated, georeferenced imagery suitable for FEMA reimbursement, insurance claims, and emergency repair planning. One day of flight covers what a week of windshield survey would miss.

04 / SURFACE & SIGNAGE

Pavement, Signage & ROW Review

Orthomosaic at one to two centimeter ground sample distance supports pavement condition review, pavement-marking inventory, signage inventory, and ROW obstruction documentation at a fraction of ground-based survey cost.

Problems We Solve

Common pain points for infrastructure owners.

Pain Point · 01
Erosion, slope movement, and encroachment along the corridor are hard to track between inspection cycles.
Our Response
Repeat corridor flights at fixed mission parameters produce surfaces that can be differenced for change detection. Catch movement before it becomes a failure.
Pain Point · 02
Post-storm or post-event damage assessment is a windshield survey that takes days.
Our Response
A single flight day covers miles of corridor at centimeter-scale positioning. Dated imagery and elevation data, ready for the next planning or funding conversation.
Pain Point · 03
Surface, signage, and ROW documentation through traditional survey is slow and expensive.
Our Response
Orthomosaic at one to two centimeter ground sample distance supports pavement review, signage inventory, and ROW documentation at a fraction of the ground cost.
Pain Point · 04
Third-party construction or utility work damages your corridor and responsibility is unclear.
Our Response
A pre-work baseline flight plus a post-work capture establishes measurable before-and-after conditions. Objective evidence for cost recovery and permit enforcement.
