FAQ
Answers about safety, qualifications, deliverables, logistics, and how PRX can support your industrial project.
We provide drone-based survey, inspection, mapping, thermal imaging, LiDAR, photogrammetry, confined-space inspection, and custom data collection services across Canada.
We support clients in oil & gas, energy, mining, construction, engineering, telecommunications, infrastructure, and industrial manufacturing.
PRX operates across Canada. Travel to remote and industrial sites can be arranged as required.
Yes. Our pilots hold Transport Canada Advanced Pilot Certificates and operate in accordance with applicable Canadian aviation regulations.
Yes. We maintain commercial liability insurance appropriate for our operations and can provide proof of coverage upon request.
In many cases, yes. We can obtain the required authorizations and coordinate with airspace authorities when necessary.
Yes. We routinely work in active industrial environments and coordinate with site stakeholders to ensure safe operations.
Drones can often reduce the need for scaffolding, rope access, cranes, confined-space entry, and work at height, improving safety while reducing inspection costs and downtime.
Yes. Specialized indoor drones can capture visual, thermal, and mapping data in environments where GPS is unavailable and access is limited.
Storage tanks, flare stacks, boilers, heaters, roofs, towers, bridges, process equipment, pipelines, structures, and more.
Yes. Thermal imaging can identify temperature anomalies, insulation deficiencies, electrical issues, and other conditions not visible to the naked eye.
Accuracy depends on the project requirements, equipment used, and control methods employed. We can discuss expected accuracy levels during project planning.
Depending on the project, deliverables may include orthomosaics, point clouds, LiDAR datasets, digital elevation models, 3D meshes, CAD-compatible outputs, and inspection reports.
Yes. We can provide data in common industry formats compatible with most GIS, CAD, and engineering workflows.
Mobilization timelines vary based on location, scope, and regulatory requirements. For many projects, we can mobilize within days.
Typically: project location, scope of work, asset type, desired deliverables, site restrictions, and required schedule.
Yes. Many projects require a combination of sensors, platforms, and workflows tailored to specific operational requirements.
Safety always comes first. If weather conditions are unsuitable, we will coordinate a revised schedule with the client.
Unless otherwise agreed, the client owns the project data and deliverables.
Project data is handled using secure storage and transfer methods. Specific requirements can be accommodated upon request.
Turnaround depends on project size and deliverables. Simple inspections may be delivered within days, while large survey datasets may require additional processing time.
PRX combines advanced drone technology with real-world industrial inspection experience. We understand not only how to collect data safely and efficiently, but how that data is used by operations, maintenance, engineering, and integrity teams to make decisions. This allows us to focus on delivering actionable results rather than simply collecting imagery.
