Birds Eye Aerial Drones (BEAD), founded by industry and Navy veteran Scott Painter, brings over three decades of aviation experience and was among the first to receive FAA approval for commercial drone operations in the United States. The company has been at the forefront of leveraging unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to deliver superior safety, risk mitigation, and sustainability in aerial data collection. 

Strategic Alliance to Enhance Surveying Capabilities 

The synergy between Datumate’s cutting-edge analytical capabilities and BEAD’s operational excellence is expected to redefine surveying practices. Construction and Engineering firms now have the unique opportunity to outsource their surveying needs without compromising the quality and depth of survey information required for complex projects. 

Five Key Advantages for Engineering and Construction Firms:

  • Cost-Effectiveness: The partnership is designed to save time and money, reducing the financial burden of surveying without losing the precision of data. 
  • Lower Altitude, Greater Precision: BEAD’s UAS can operate at significantly lower altitudes and in more confined spaces,along with the use of control points, offers unparalleled detail and accuracy in data collection. 
  • Time-Saving EfficencyEfficiency: Utilizing UAS for surveying is 80% faster than traditional means, saving countless hours. 
  • Enhanced Safety and Risk Mitigation: With the ability to survey hazardous, environmentally sensitive or inaccessible areas, the partnership prioritizes the safety of personnel and environmental preservation. 
  • Sustainability: The use of UAS is a testament to the commitment of both companies to sustainable practices, minimizing the carbon footprint of surveying activities. 
  • Comprehensive Data Solutions: From aerial photography to LiDAR and from topography to digital twins, the partnership promises a full spectrum of aerial survey services enriched with Datumate’s analytical prowess. 
  • Professional and Experienced: Success rates for tracking construction projects using UAS increase when done by professional drone operations team.
