Manned & unmanned aerial acquisitions services for any size project.

Manned & unmanned aerial acquisitions services for any size project.

Our team specializes in rapid deployment with a strong emphasis on safety, while meeting all project requirements and certification standards.
Streamline planning, & accelerate informed decision-making by partnering with CompassData.
Our field-proven workflows help reduce downtime, improve asset visibility, & enhance operational safety.
Under predefined flight plans & collection parameters, our UAV operations adhere to ASPRS and FAA-compliant protocols to collect imaging.
Images are orthorectified & transformed into geospatially aligned datasets including:
Each dataset is independently validated against survey-grade Ground Control Points (GCPs) & tied into pre-existing National Geodetic Survey (NGS) benchmarks to ensure spatial consistency.
Final deliverables are packaged to meet your format requirements.
CompassData, in partnership with KCSI Aerial Patrol, has been delivering quarterly aerial mapping and thermal imagery for Sentinel Peak Resources across major oil fields in California’s San Joaquin Valley and Los Angeles Basin since 2019. Covering over 24 square miles, this long-term project combines LiDAR, RGB, thermal, DSM/DTM, and change detection data to support asset management and field operations.
Using state-of-the-art equipment such as the RIEGL VUX240, WaldoAir XCAMB RGB + NIR, and radiometric thermal sensors, CompassData ensures high-resolution orthomosaics and accuracy reports for each collection. Aerial GNSS control with Trimble RTK systems complements manned aircraft operations for maximum geospatial precision.
Each project cycle includes detailed reports, change detection analytics, and thermal performance insights reviewed by Sentinel Peak’s operations and engineering teams. All data is delivered to strict industry specifications and reviewed collaboratively to ensure quality and compliance.
This ongoing collaboration demonstrates CompassData’s ability to support oil and gas infrastructure mapping, offering reliable, safe, and IOGP-compliant aerial services with consistent, on-time, and cost-effective results.
