Hydrex Drone & Geospatial Services

Since 2015, Hydrex Drone Division has been providing creative solutions to meet the needs of a diverse industry. Utilizing modern aerial technology can complete survey and inspection jobs in less than half the time of traditional methods, while safely keeping workers out of potentially hazardous areas. 

Using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), also called drone systems, Hydrex utilizes revolutionary equipment to increase efficiency while striving for the maximum level of accuracy. UAS implementation provides extensive and highly detailed data collection that is quicker, safer, and more cost effective than traditional ground surveying. 

Hydrex engages powerful software processing that ensures reliable and accurate analysis and yields many products that can be used for virtually every industry. From pinpoint landfill airspace measurements and stockpile inventory calculations to large-scale sand mine progress tracking and cemetery mapping, this aerial technology brings a whole new dimension to the table.
