INDUSTRIAL DRONES

Gateway Drone Resources partners with construction companies, general contractors, mining & excavation contractors, utilities companies, and commercial drone operators for both internal and outsourced Industrial Drone Programs.

FIRST RESPONDERS DRONE

Police, fire fighters, municipalities and other public agencies can use drones with appropriate training, safety procedures, communication with airports, and in some cases with authorizations from the FAA.

 

DRONE SAFETY AND OSHA

Gateway Drone Resources utilize safety and competence protocols ensuring continuous OSHA compliance. We provide OSHA training in the context of industrial, law enforcement and first responders’ drone programs.

 

RISK MANAGEMENT

A successful Industrial Drone Program requires waivers from the FAA regulations. Outsourced Drone Programs call for allocating responsibilities, risks and liabilities between the operator and industrial customers.

Industrial Drone Programs

Gateway Drone Resources partners with construction companies, general contractors, minning & excavation contractors, utilities companies, and commercial drone operators for both internal and outsourced Industrial Drone Programs. Our team provides comprehensive services to develop and implement a successful Industrial Drone Program helping meet your business needs, compliance obligations and overcome regulatory hurdles. Drones help accomplish critical missions:

  • Construction site monitoring
  • Asset management
  • Demolition hazards control
  • Power line inspection
  • Egress and onsite logistics
  • Structural inspections
  • Agriculture monitoring
  • Consulting Engineers for Asset & Inventory Management
 

Risk Management and Compliance

Standard Operating Procedures, training, safety measures, maintenance protocols and technology help drone operators fly safely and are considered by underwriters. Effective risk mitigation strategies facilitate adequate insurance limits – equally important for both outsourced or internal Drone Programs. An industry difference is that our proprietary FAA Part 107 UAS rating pilot training program has been approved by insurance underwriters. Gateway Drone Resources has a safety manager as part of our team. We have OSHA & FAA SMS Programs in place.

A successful Industrial Drone Program requires waivers from the FAA regulations. Examples are night operations or beyond a visual line of sight. Outsourced Drone Programs call for allocating responsibilities, risks and liabilities between the operator and industrial customers. Gateway Drone Resources aids with project regulatory and contractual aspects.

First Responders Drone Programs

The public challenges law enforcement to balance safety, privacy and property rights with the Serve & Protect mission. Drone perceptions, federal and state laws are evolving.

Police, fire fighters, municipalities and other public agencies can use drones with appropriate training, safety procedures, communication with airports, and in some cases with authorizations from the FAA. Drones help public entities with:

  • Search and rescue
  • Crowd control
  • Flood reports
  • Emergency response
  • Fire scene investigations
  • Infrastructure inspection

Drone Safety and OSHA Compliance

Gateway Drone Resources utilize safety and competence protocols ensuring continuous OSHA compliance. We provide OSHA training in the context of industrial, law enforcement and first responders’ drone programs.  The trainings are designed to educate both the staff and clients’ internal OSHA trainers.
