BMP inspections by drone for construction sites in Greenville, SC

South Carolina requires active construction sites to inspect stormwater BMPs on a regular schedule: silt fences, sediment basins, inlet protection, check dams, and outlet stabilization. A drone covers the full site perimeter in one flight, photographing each BMP location with GPS coordinates on every image.

Greenville County has one of the most active land-disturbing permit workloads in Upstate SC. We run BMP inspection flights throughout the county: Woodruff Road corridor, I-85 interchange development, and residential subdivisions in the surrounding area.

What gets documented

Silt fence condition and any breaches. Sediment basin levels. Inlet protection devices. Outlet stabilization. Diversion berms. Active erosion or BMP failure areas. Every photo is GPS-tagged and sorted by BMP type so the record is organized for SCDHEC review or owner reporting.

How scheduling works

Most contractors set up weekly or bi-weekly flights for the duration of active land-disturbing work. The inspection record builds automatically, so you're not chasing down photos after the fact when an inspector shows up.

Deliverables
