Drone Project

RPG’s drone program initially began with aerial mapping and inspecting designated right-of-way areas, but quickly expanded to include sophisticated capabilities such as thermal imaging, construction monitoring, drainage modeling, vegetation analysis, detailed 3D modeling, and comprehensive terrain mapping using point cloud data. RPG has also integrated innovative 360-degree camera technology, providing clients unparalleled perspectives from both aerial and ground views.

Facing the challenge of obtaining accurate and timely aerial data for approximately 140 well pad locations across Colorado’s Denver front range, Civitas, Colorado’s first carbon-neutral oil and natural gas producer, turned to RPG for a reliable and efficient solution. Traditional data collection methods were impractical, requiring substantial time and labor, while conventional online mapping tools were outdated and insufficient in quality.

Leveraging RPG’s expertise and advanced drone technology, Civitas gained rapid access to high-resolution aerial imagery. RPG’s Colorado-based team efficiently scheduled field days, covering multiple nearby locations simultaneously. Their drone platforms captured comprehensive data across approximately 1,400 total acres, processing and delivering high-quality imagery within just one business day via a user-friendly cloud-based platform.

RPG’s drone mapping solution not only expedited Civitas’s permitting process for facility upgrades aimed at reducing air emissions but also significantly reduced time, labor, and costs. With RPG’s innovative approach, Civitas achieved faster, safer, and more accurate environmental data collection compared to traditional methods, underscoring the exceptional value and effectiveness of RPG’s advanced drone services.
