Drone Leak Investigation · Agricultural
Drone leak investigation for agricultural operations.
BC agriculture runs on managed water: irrigation mains and laterals, drip systems, dugouts and storage ponds, greenhouse heat loops, and barns whose roofs protect livestock and feed. Leaks tax all of it — pumping costs, water allocations, crop uniformity, and infrastructure — across acreages no one can practically walk.

One flight reads the whole operation: irrigation anomalies mapped against the block layout, pond and dugout seepage screened, greenhouse energy losses imaged, and buried main routes traced. Findings arrive as a ranked work list keyed to your layout — fix the three real problems, skip the imaginary ones.
Where agricultural operations leak
- Buried mainline leaks pressurising pumping costs
- Drip and lateral failures creating yield-robbing dry zones
- Dugout and pond seepage shrinking storage through dry months
- Greenhouse heating-loop losses inflating energy bills
- Barn and outbuilding roof moisture damaging feed and equipment

What scale of operation does aerial survey make sense for?
The economics turn positive surprisingly early — once walking the system costs more than flying it, typically by a few hectares of irrigated ground or any operation with buried mains. Large operations benefit most in absolute terms, but a single mainline leak found on a modest acreage routinely covers the survey in one season's pumping costs.
Can you tell a leak from normal irrigation wetness?
Yes — by flying against the schedule. Surveys are timed after a coordinated dry-down so functioning zones have surface-dried while leak-fed soil stays saturated; persistent wet anomalies off-pattern from the emitter layout are the signature. We plan the timing with whoever runs your water.
Do you work with our irrigation contractor?
Happily — the deliverable is designed for handoff: anomalies keyed to your block-and-valve layout with coordinates and ranked severity. Your contractor repairs from a target list; verification can be a single re-flight after the fixes.
