Aerial Drone Operations

Precision Mapping for Safer, Smarter Land & Waterway Management

At MTM, we use the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drone to improve safety, efficiency, and accuracy in stream restoration, vegetation control, logjam identification, and dam or bridge maintenance. This lightweight, high-performance drone helps us cover more ground, capture more detail, and make faster, better-informed decisions.

Precision Aerial Solutions

Smarter Data, Safer Access

Smarter Data, Safer Access

Our drone technology allows us to inspect steep banks, dense vegetation, and remote waterways without putting crews at risk. The Mavic 3 Enterprise gives us real-time, high-resolution visuals and topographic data—no boots or machinery on the ground required.

Precision Tools, Real-Time Results

Precision Tools, Real-Time Results

With a 20MP wide camera, RTK positioning, and 56× hybrid zoom, our drone operations offer exact mapping, accurate measurements, and crisp visuals from above. Omnidirectional obstacle sensors keep flights safe, even around tree canopies or infrastructure.
