Projects

Aerial 2D & 3D Mapping Projects:

  • Conducted 2D aerial mapping for Satara and Sangli districts and Thane Smart City development initiatives.
  • Delivered high-resolution 3D mapping in urban and semi-urban areas including:
    Mumbai, Thane, Kochi (Ernakulam), Ayodhya, Kanpur, Sultanpur, and Joshimath
    Supported Bhopal and Goa town planning efforts.
  • Executed the NIC (National Informatics Centre) project for 3D mapping across multiple Indian states.

Energy Infrastructure Inspections:

  • Performed LIDAR-based inspection for wind turbines and solar farms in Kanpur to support predictive maintenance and layout planning.

Environmental Monitoring:

  • Led ambient air quality monitoring missions using UAVs for the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board.

Railway Photogrammetric Surveys:

  • Executed drone-based photogrammetric surveys across multiple Indian railway divisions, including:
    Sambalpur (Odisha), Khurda (Odisha), Trichy (Tamil Nadu), Pune (Maharashtra), Vadodara (Gujarat), Nagpur (Maharashtra), Allahabad (U.P.), and New Delhi Railway Station.

Mining & Industrial Surveys:

  • Conducted 3D mining survey for BHEL, Ramagundam, and Karakatta, Vijayawada.
  • Delivered aerial intelligence for Bhiwandi Municipal Corporation, Mumbai.

Forestry & Government Monitoring Projects:

  • Executed forest surveillance and environmental monitoring in Kadapa (Redwood Region), Andhra Pradesh under a state government initiative.

Challenging Project

Mumbai Indian Navy port – Infrastructure Mapping

  • Led a critical infrastructure mapping mission at a restricted naval base in Mumbai, requiring high-precision aerial data collection.
  • Faced multiple challenges including limited space for UAV takeoff and landing, strict airspace security protocols, and high wind conditions along the shoreline.

Mumbai International Airport – Airport area & Infrastructure Mapping

  • Conducted UAV-based runway and terminal infrastructure mapping at Mumbai International Airport, one of the busiest airspaces in India.
  • The project demanded high precision, strict coordination with air traffic control (ATC), and zero margin for error due to constant flight activity.

Joshimath – 3D  Mapping near Indo-Tibetan Border

  • Led a critical terrain mapping mission in Joshimath, Uttarakhand, near the Indian Army’s northern border zone.
  • The area posed logistical and regulatory challenges due to high security, limited accessibility, and proximity to a sensitive military region.
