Cell Tower Inspection & Mapping
Cell Phone Towers and Communication Tower Inspections
Tower climbing is one of the most dangerous jobs and UAVs are saving lives in this industry.
Our mission is to assist associations, like NATE and its members, to create a universal Scope of Work and Standard Operating Procedures to standardize the process of cell tower inspections for our customers.
If your company upgrades, maintains or operates cell towers, let's join forces and optimize your efforts.
Thanks to companies like AT&T and Crown Castle, UAVs are quickly turning into a necessity in the Telecommunications industry. Don’t get left behind, integrate UAVs into your workflow and stay ahead of the competition.
Cell Tower Inspection Checklist:
- Signs posted as required
- Condition of security fences, including guy anchor fencing
- Tower and anchor base foundation
- Vegetation growth
- Condition of guy wires
- Turnbuckles safety wires installed in Figure 8 pattern
- Rust & corrosion inspection
- Identify any visually loose nuts and bolts
- Insulators are intact
- Condition of paint
- Ground rods present and properly connect to guy wires
- Ice shields present and secure
- Condition of antenna and transmission lines
- Grounding kits of cables intact
- Condition of EIA flanges and connectors
- Inspection of cable line attachments
Reduce the risk of accidents by incorporating UAVs into cell tower inspection workflows, diminishing the number of tower climbs and keeping your staff safer.
Gain visual documentation of problems with high resolution imagery, allowing experts who are not onsite the opportunity to still assist in the resolution of issues.
Construction
From site surveying to monitoring the progress of construction UAVs can be valuable tool for improving data capture to reduce costly variables associated with a construction project. Contact us to discover how UAVs can improve efficiencies during construction and upgrading of cell towers.
Surveying
When deciding to construct a new cell tower, surveying the site is an important part of the process. UAVs can provide accurate and cost-effective topographic mapping and contour mapping representations of any site. Providing the construction company, or Surveyor, with a high quality visual representation that is far superior to traditional services.
Infrared
The addition of an infrared inspection to a cell tower examination can provide data not visible during a visual review. Faulty equipment and damaged wiring can be easily detached by thermal imaging catching problems early avoid costlier future repairs.

Modeling & Audits
UAV imaging and software allows us to provide our customers with the ability to create models of their cell phone tower assets. These models are valuable tools when planning to upgrade or maintenance the cell tower. In addition, we can provide audits of previous and upcoming upgrade and maintenance work to ensure the work was performed in accordance with the contract.
