Our aerial capabilities

Drone Inspections in East Tennessee

Clear aerial and thermal imagery for roofs, structures, towers and hard-to-reach site features—collected to support safer, more informed inspection work.

Aerial inspection support for hard-to-reach assets

Volunteer Aerial Technologies provides drone inspection imagery for structures, towers, roofs, property features and other sites across East Tennessee. Aerial inspection can provide a close visual view without requiring the same amount of climbing, lift access or ground travel for an initial look.

Our goal is to collect clear, useful imagery that helps owners, contractors and project teams understand what is happening at the site. Depending on the project, we can capture high-resolution visible imagery and thermal imagery where temperature differences are useful to investigate.

Common inspection uses

  • Roofs and elevated building features.
  • Towers, poles and other vertical structures where flight conditions allow.
  • Large properties and difficult-to-access site features.
  • Progress documentation and repeat visual checks.
  • Thermal-assisted observations when appropriate for the project.

What you receive

Deliverables are matched to the job and can include organized aerial photographs, video, thermal imagery and location-based observations. Tell us what you need to evaluate before the flight so the mission can be planned around the useful angles and details.

Important scope

VAT provides aerial data and imagery, not engineering certification or a substitute for a licensed professional's required inspection. When a project requires engineering, code, structural or other professional conclusions, our imagery can support the qualified professional performing that work.

East Tennessee service area

We are based in Madisonville and serve inspection projects throughout East Tennessee on a project-by-project basis. Contact VAT with the location, asset type and the question you need the aerial imagery to help answer.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What to know before a mission.

What can VAT inspect from the air?

Projects can include roofs, elevated building features, towers, poles, large properties and other hard-to-reach site features where safe and lawful flight is possible. The mission is planned around the specific imagery or observations you need.

Can you capture thermal imagery?

Yes, when thermal data is useful for the project and conditions allow. Thermal imagery shows temperature differences and should be considered alongside visible imagery and the broader project context.

Does VAT certify structural condition?

No. VAT provides aerial imagery and data, not engineering, code or structural certification. Our imagery can support the qualified or licensed professional responsible for any required professional conclusions.
