Drone & UAV Survey Services in the Permian Basin
FAA-licensed aerial mapping, photogrammetry, volumetric analysis, and construction progress documentation — integrated with our RPLS survey and civil engineering services.
Aerial Mapping & Photogrammetry for West Texas Projects
Magrym Consulting provides drone and UAV survey services for energy operators, developers, contractors, and municipalities across the Permian Basin. All flights are conducted by FAA-licensed remote pilots — delivering georeferenced aerial imagery, orthomosaics, volumetric calculations, and construction progress documentation.
We fly projects before construction, during, and after — giving you a visual and spatial record of project progression from start to finish. Still images, video, and full photogrammetric surveys are all available depending on your project needs.
Our drone data integrates directly with our RPLS survey deliverables and GIS mapping layers — so aerial imagery feeds straight into your project’s spatial data without third-party translation.
Drone Survey Capabilities
From a single-site flyover to multi-mile corridor mapping — our FAA-licensed pilots deliver the aerial data your project needs.
Aerial Photogrammetry
High-resolution aerial mapping that produces georeferenced orthomosaics, digital elevation models (DEMs), and 3D point clouds from drone imagery.
- Orthomosaic generation
- Digital elevation models
- 3D point cloud data
Volumetric Analysis
Cut-fill calculations, stockpile measurements, and earthwork volume tracking — comparing drone-captured surfaces over time for accurate quantity verification.
- Stockpile volume measurement
- Cut-fill tracking over time
- Earthwork quantity verification
Construction Progress
Fly your project before, during, and after construction — documenting progression with still images, video, and comparative aerial maps at each milestone.
- Pre-construction baseline
- Mid-construction progress
- As-built documentation
Site & Corridor Mapping
Large-area aerial surveys for pipeline corridors, well pads, lease roads, and development sites — covering ground faster than traditional methods.
- Pipeline corridor surveys
- Well pad and facility mapping
- Development site overviews
GIS Integration
Drone imagery processed into georeferenced layers that feed directly into ArcGIS Online and our GIS mapping deliverables — no third-party translation.
- Orthomosaic GIS overlays
- ArcGIS Online integration
- As-built layer updates
Inspection & Reporting
Aerial inspection of infrastructure, rooftops, towers, and hard-to-reach assets — with annotated imagery and detailed reports for maintenance planning.
- Infrastructure inspection
- Annotated photo reports
- Condition assessment
Markets We Serve
Our drone services cover the industries that need fast, accurate aerial data across large or hard-to-access sites.
Energy & Oil & Gas
Pipeline corridor surveys, well pad documentation, produced water containment monitoring, and progress tracking for upstream and midstream operators.
Construction & Development
Pre-construction baselines, mid-build progress documentation, stockpile volumes, and as-built aerial records for commercial and residential projects.
Municipalities & Government
Infrastructure inspection, roadway condition surveys, floodplain mapping support, and aerial documentation for public projects. HUB & DBE certified.
Environmental & Renewables
Environmental site assessments, wind/solar site mapping, erosion monitoring, and vegetation surveys for regulatory compliance and project planning.

Our Drone Survey Process
From flight planning to deliverable handoff — we keep your project moving.
Flight Planning
We review your site, define coverage areas, set ground control points, and obtain any necessary airspace authorizations before flight day.
Aerial Data Capture
Our FAA-licensed pilots fly the site using pre-programmed flight paths — capturing overlapping imagery at the resolution your deliverables require.
Processing & QA
Raw imagery is processed into orthomosaics, DEMs, point clouds, or volumetric models — georeferenced to our survey control and reviewed for accuracy.
Delivery
You receive your deliverables — aerial imagery, maps, 3D data, or GIS layers — in the format your project needs. Feeds directly into engineering and GIS workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. All of Magrym Consulting’s drone flights are conducted by FAA Part 107 certified remote pilots. We carry appropriate insurance, obtain required airspace authorizations, and follow all federal regulations for commercial UAS operations.
Drone photos are standard aerial images — useful for progress documentation and visual records. A drone survey uses photogrammetry to produce georeferenced orthomosaics, digital elevation models, and volumetric data that engineers and surveyors can measure and design from. Magrym provides both.
Yes — when tied to survey-grade ground control points. Magrym’s drone survey data is georeferenced to our RPLS survey control, making it accurate enough for civil engineering design, grading plans, and volumetric calculations. Our PE team uses this data directly in Civil 3D.
We routinely fly sites ranging from single commercial lots to multi-mile pipeline corridors. Coverage depends on required resolution and terrain — a typical energy infrastructure project can cover hundreds of acres in a single day. Contact us at (432) 999-2737 for a project-specific flight plan.
Yes. Magrym Consulting processes drone imagery into georeferenced orthomosaics and elevation models that integrate directly into ArcGIS Online and our GIS mapping deliverables. This gives you a single source of truth — aerial imagery, survey data, and infrastructure layers in one platform.
