FAQ

Questions before you request a quote.

Answers about safety, qualifications, deliverables, logistics, and how PRX can support your industrial project.

General

What services do you provide?

We provide drone-based survey, inspection, mapping, thermal imaging, LiDAR, photogrammetry, confined-space inspection, and custom data collection services across Canada.

What industries do you work with?

We support clients in oil & gas, energy, mining, construction, engineering, telecommunications, infrastructure, and industrial manufacturing.

Where do you operate?

PRX operates across Canada. Travel to remote and industrial sites can be arranged as required.

Safety & Compliance

Are your drone pilots certified?

Yes. Our pilots hold Transport Canada Advanced Pilot Certificates and operate in accordance with applicable Canadian aviation regulations.

Do you carry insurance?

Yes. We maintain commercial liability insurance appropriate for our operations and can provide proof of coverage upon request.

Can you fly in controlled airspace?

In many cases, yes. We can obtain the required authorizations and coordinate with airspace authorities when necessary.

Can you fly at active industrial facilities?

Yes. We routinely work in active industrial environments and coordinate with site stakeholders to ensure safe operations.

Inspection Services

Why use a drone instead of traditional access methods?

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.

Can drones perform inspections inside tanks, vessels, and confined spaces?

Yes. Specialized indoor drones can capture visual, thermal, and mapping data in environments where GPS is unavailable and access is limited.

What types of assets can you inspect?

Storage tanks, flare stacks, boilers, heaters, roofs, towers, bridges, process equipment, pipelines, structures, and more.

Can you provide thermal inspections?

Yes. Thermal imaging can identify temperature anomalies, insulation deficiencies, electrical issues, and other conditions not visible to the naked eye.

Survey & Mapping

How accurate are your surveys?

Accuracy depends on the project requirements, equipment used, and control methods employed. We can discuss expected accuracy levels during project planning.

What deliverables can you provide?

Depending on the project, deliverables may include orthomosaics, point clouds, LiDAR datasets, digital elevation models, 3D meshes, CAD-compatible outputs, and inspection reports.

Can you integrate with our existing GIS or CAD systems?

Yes. We can provide data in common industry formats compatible with most GIS, CAD, and engineering workflows.

Project Logistics

How quickly can you mobilize?

Mobilization timelines vary based on location, scope, and regulatory requirements. For many projects, we can mobilize within days.

What information do you need for a quote?

Typically: project location, scope of work, asset type, desired deliverables, site restrictions, and required schedule.

Do you offer custom solutions?

Yes. Many projects require a combination of sensors, platforms, and workflows tailored to specific operational requirements.

What happens if weather prevents flying?

Safety always comes first. If weather conditions are unsuitable, we will coordinate a revised schedule with the client.

Data & Deliverables

Who owns the collected data?

Unless otherwise agreed, the client owns the project data and deliverables.

How is our data stored and protected?

Project data is handled using secure storage and transfer methods. Specific requirements can be accommodated upon request.

How long does processing take?

Turnaround depends on project size and deliverables. Simple inspections may be delivered within days, while large survey datasets may require additional processing time.

Why choose PRX?

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.
