FAA Part 107 aerial inspection services
See the asset clearly—without sending someone up first.
Systematic drone inspections for telecom towers, rooftops, facades, and other elevated infrastructure.
We capture the complete structure, then move in for component-level visual evidence. Deliverables can range from an organized inspection image set to a calibrated point cloud and photorealistic Gaussian digital twin.

Safer access
Inspect elevated and difficult areas before committing lifts, climbers, or specialty access.
Repeatable coverage
Structured flight paths produce a readable record from site context to component detail.
Remote review
Share organized imagery and navigable 3D scenes with engineers, owners, and field teams.
Clear documentation
Receive labeled, high-resolution evidence that fits into your existing reporting workflow.
Inspection capabilities
The right capture for the asset and the decision
Some projects need a concise visual record. Others benefit from a complete, navigable reconstruction. We scope the capture around what your reviewers actually need to see.
Telecom towers and equipment
Full-height monopole coverage, antenna sectors, mounting assemblies, cable routing, connections, platforms, and compound context.
Roofs and building envelopes
Roof membranes, drainage, flashing, rooftop equipment, facades, parapets, masonry, chimneys, and other difficult-to-access elevations.
Point clouds and digital twins
Calibrated camera solutions, colored point clouds, conventional 3D outputs, and Gaussian twins for navigable remote review.
Evidence, not just aerial photos
Context first. Details second. One coherent record.
An effective inspection sequence starts wide enough to establish location and orientation, then moves through each face, sector, or elevation at a consistent standoff. Component views remain understandable because the reviewer can place them within the whole asset.
- Complete-site and full-structure context
- Systematic face, sector, or elevation coverage
- Close visual evidence of accessible components
- Consistent naming and organized delivery
How the work moves
A clear inspection workflow
01 · Scope
Define the questions
We identify the asset, required viewpoints, access constraints, delivery format, and who will review the results.
02 · Capture
Fly systematically
The flight moves from site context to structured detail while maintaining safe, legal operating distances.
03 · Process
Organize or reconstruct
Imagery is reviewed, labeled, and—when requested—calibrated into a point cloud or digital twin.
04 · Deliver
Make review easy
Your team receives the agreed files, a clear directory structure, and browser access when a web twin is included.
Featured case study
A cell tower you can inspect from a browser
The tower project combines 719 aligned drone views, an 83,473-point alignment cloud, and a photorealistic Gaussian reconstruction. Review the equipment from multiple angles without installing specialized software.

Choose the level of record the project needs
Deliverables are scoped before the flight. A straightforward documentation mission does not need to become a complex 3D project—but the option is available when spatial context matters.
- High-resolution inspection photographs
- Labeled image sets organized by face, sector, or elevation
- Overview video and narrated visual walkthroughs
- Colored point clouds and conventional 3D outputs
- Interactive Gaussian-splat digital twins
Common questions
Does a drone inspection replace an engineer or certified inspector?
No. We provide visual evidence and reality-capture deliverables. Condition findings, code conclusions, structural analysis, and repair recommendations remain with the qualified professional reviewing that evidence.
Are the digital twins survey accurate?
Not automatically. A Gaussian twin is optimized for realistic visual review and is not represented as survey-certified geometry. If measurable mapping or accuracy controls are required, we will define the control, processing, and deliverable requirements separately before capture.
What can you inspect?
Telecom towers, rooftop equipment, roofs, facades, chimneys, solar arrays, drainage, and other elevated or difficult-to-access exterior assets, subject to safe operating access and airspace requirements.
Where do you work?
Michalow Visuals is based in Louisville and serves Kentuckiana and projects across the Midwest. Multi-site and travel work can be scoped as one coordinated capture campaign.
How quickly are files delivered?
Organized photo packages are commonly delivered within the same week. Point-cloud and digital-twin timelines depend on image count, processing depth, quality-control requirements, and the publishing format.
