AERIAL INSPECTIONS FOR GAS DETECTION AND STOCKPILE ASSESSMENT
Providing 3D mapping, stockpile assessments, and emission-detection for air quality compliance
Aerial data acquisition provides rapid detection of fugitive gases for emission reporting compliance, stockpile volume assessments and construction progress reporting. We will provide the raw data for in-house processing or forward the data for processing and evaluation to the platform of your choice. Sniffer4D Mini2 consists of compact, powerful multi-gas detection hardware and user-friendly software.
The system, mounted on a compatible DJI drone, can measure and visualise real-time gas concentration distributions. By providing timely, actionable information, Sniffer4D Mini2 provides the oil & gas industry, environmental protection agencies, and researchers improved efficiency, mitigated risks, and reduced costs.
WATCH: High-resolution drone data tailored for construction, mining and emissions monitoring—supporting accurate stockpile measurements, site progression analysis and air quality checks.
Remote Monitoring and Data Insights
UNCREWED AERIAL DATA ACQUISITION FOR CONSTRUCTION
Firefly-UAI provides fast, reliable, high-quality data acquisition services tailored to the construction and infrastructure monitoring sectors. Our solutions meet industry demands, delivering localised, high-resolution data for processing.
From construction sites to renewable energy projects, we conduct remotely piloted monitoring assignments, offering raw data for in-house processing or complete processing on your chosen platform. Based in Sydney, we understand the unique challenges of project development and long-term monitoring.
High-resolution aerial imagery enables precise stockpile volume assessments and site inspections—delivering valuable insights for construction material management.
OTHER SERVICES
Structural Lifecycle Assessments
We provide photogrammetry data to the real estate and property management sectors. This detailed, high-resolution imaging of buildings, roofs, facades, and structures allows clients to quickly identify any cracks, water damage, or structural integrity concerns.
Renewable Energy Inspections
Biogas facilities and landfill sites are often expansive, making traditional inspections time-consuming. Drones can cover large areas quickly, making them ideal for tasks like site monitoring of waste decomposition for the assessment of environmental impact.
Construction Progress Reporting
Across construction, we leverage advanced drone technology to deliver precise data for progress inspections, as well as detailed site measurements for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sectors throughout the broader area of New South Wales.
Stockpile inventory Intelligence
Accurate assessments of material stockpiles on construction and mining sites, allows for efficient inventory tracking and improved resource planning for projects. Aerial data captures details from above, offering a fast and cost-effective alternative to manual inspections.

BENEFITS OF REMOTE PHOTOGRAPHY AND AERIAL MAPPING
Increased Efficiency
Drone mapping is significantly faster than traditional ground-based methods, saving time and reducing costs.
Improved Safety
Drones reduce the need for workers to enter hazardous or hard-to-reach areas, enhancing safety and minimizing risk.
Digital Twins - Virtual & Physical
A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical object or landscape. With drones, businesses can quickly collect accurate data, monitor and optimise operations, and create real-time replicas of assets. This technology allows for comparing images over time, ensuring better quality control and collaboration with subcontractors.
Precise Terrain Modelling
It offers high-resolution aerial imagery and data used to create detailed terrain models, supporting consistent condition monitoring and streamlining critical maintenance.
AI and Photogrammetry Software
Drones collect high-resolution data that surpasses manual assessments. Advanced software platforms enable better planning, analysis, and decision-making. Drone mapping also allows for more frequent and accurate reporting, improving billing and overall project visibility.
Real-Time Decision Making
Drone mapping enables businesses to collect and analyse data in real-time, allowing for immediate decision-making and rapid response to changing project conditions. This leads to faster adjustments and more informed, agile project management.
CERTIFIED AND LICENSED FOR EXCELLENCE IN REMOTE DRONE OPRATIONS
We prioritise safety, professionalism and compliance, holding Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) certifications, including a Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) for commercial operations, and a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) for licensed pilots.
