Sarah Hoff, President of SMJ Drones on the panel was on the BuiltWorlds 2020 panel - https://builtworlds.com/event/infrastructure-conference-day-one-planning-pre-construction/
On Day One of this year’s infrastructure conference, we will examine emerging ideas and thinking around the form, functions, and materials of our complex infrastructure projects.

SMJ Drones films 2700+ acres of marsh land not accessible to people.  This marshy area was teaming with wildlife. Birds, frogs, and other creatures calling it home. It's also the water supply but sometimes, having a wetland property is a big pain. Perhaps you'd like to develop the land for crops or other uses, or maybe the mosquitoes are just too much.  We provided our client with more information than they could have collected by sending its staff wading through the wet terrain.  The 2500+ acre property was challenging to assess from the ground, and airplane photos or satellite images wouldn’t give the level of detail they needed.  And Lidar, an imaging technique using laser pulses from an airplane, is costly.  So, they tried something new and went with SMJ Drones imagery. All in all, they were more than satisfied with increased safety, time savings and the amount of money  they saved by using SMJ Drones which gave them aerial drone imagery and data fast and efficiently.

A Charity is an organization that exists to enable one group of people to help another. SMJ Drones supported a local  nonprofit.  Without givers like us they can’t have an impact or influence our community.  We were honored to help out by taking a aerial drone video to help raise money for the school and help the next generation.  Together, we can make a difference.
