# Get a digital record of every line, trench and substation

Document your network with drones, 360 cameras and robots to build a live, shareable record that reduces strikes, outages and truck rolls.

## Stop digging and driving blind around critical infrastructure.

### Know what’s there before you break ground.

Consolidate records and field locates into a single map so crews see gas, power, water and comms lines before they dig or dispatch equipment.

### Capture utilities before they disappear.

Record coordinates, depth and photos during open trench conditions so new pipes and cables are documented accurately before backfill.

### Keep people and service out of harm’s way.

Use aerial and ground capture to inspect overhead lines, poles, substations and vaults without climbing, lane closures or helicopter flights.

## Capture every asset from every vantage point

## DroneDeploy Aerial

Network-wide visibility in every flight

- Map corridors, trenches and rights‑of‑way in minutes
- Produce high‑accuracy orthos and 3D models for design and as‑builts
- Overlay locator and GPR data on current site maps
- Monitor poles, towers, lines and access roads for change over time
- Capture storm events and damage for claims and regulatory reports

### Frequently asked questions

#### Is DroneDeploy the right fit
 for your utility operations?

Do we need in‑house drone pilots or our own hardware to start?

You don’t. You can start with [Data on Demand](https://www.dronedeploy.com/data-on-demand) to order flights and ground capture on‑demand, then introduce your own drones and 360 cameras as your program grows.

We already use locators and as‑built drawings. Do we really need this?

Locating finds the lines; DroneDeploy records them. Combining both gives you a permanent, visual, geo‑referenced record that reduces repeat locates, disputes and future strikes.

Is this only for large investor‑owned utilities?

No. It’s used by IOUs, co‑ops, municipal utilities and contractors. If strikes, outages or truck rolls impact your margins or reliability metrics, you can benefit.

Can DroneDeploy meet our security and compliance requirements?

Yes. Enterprise utilities customers use DroneDeploy as a central platform for flight operations and data because it offers encrypted data at rest and in transit, role‑based permissions, and enterprise‑grade controls including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

Can I trust this data for permitting, compliance and claims?

Yes. Measurements, coordinates and imagery are tied together so you can show exactly where assets were, what was installed and what changed when incidents occur.

How does this help if we manage assets across multiple districts or regions?

DroneDeploy gives engineering, operations and safety teams a shared, dated view of every site. Field crews capture once; everyone else reviews from their desk.
