Municipal Water Line Project Overview

Is there a more fun name than Kalamazoo? Hard to think of one. Of course, All PRO USA didn’t visit this great Michigan county for its name alone. We were assigned with the task of surveying the pre construction conditions of an upcoming water line project along Celery Street, between the intersections of Moline and Roe. This meant, the clear and concise documentation of the appointed roadway as well as all intersections, personal and commercial property lines, driveways and parking areas on the route.

This particular job was completed with a small, three-person crew. One crew member was charged with the operation of the construction-marked vehicle (equipped with lights and strobes for maximum safety) while another operated the external camera system for reliable ground level documentation of all details along the project path. Any and all cracks, defects or otherwise concerning points of interest were captured on video and supplemented with live in-camera narration. One of our two FAA-licensed drone pilots provided aerial coverage of the project route and, with the aid of another high-quality microphone system, provided their own independent narration. Sometimes aerial video can highlight details that wouldn’t be as clear on the ground and, vice versa, ground level footage can sometimes provide a clearer assessment of conditions not as immediately eye-catching from the bird’s eye view of the drone. Together, working in concert, they provide a powerful representation of the survey area for the project manager.

Safety is our top priority. As mentioned, our vehicles are clearly marked for construction documentation and we maintain speeds of 10 mph or less both for safety and accuracy of the video capture. Our crew is OSHA-10 certified and we use the most up to date and proficient cameras and camera systems in the business. That includes our drones for any and all aerial video and photography.

We like to contact the project manager before beginning any job to double check that all relevant footage on the pathway is visualized accurately. Once we return to our editing studio, we complete the project by checking the project info for accuracy of date recorded, direction of travel, geographic location and other invaluable data. After completion, the project coordinator receives both a digital and hard copy, via USB drive, of the finished product.
