A question for anyone who's managed a large infrastructure project from start to finish: At what point did you wish you'd had better aerial data? We ask this a lot - and the answers fall into three categories almost every time. The first group says early routing. They committed to a corridor before they fully understood the terrain, the drainage, or the landowner constraints. The data gap showed up as change orders. The second group says during design. The elevation model they were working from didn't reflect bare earth - it was reading vegetation or an outdated surface - and the grade design had to be revised once construction started. The third group says after an incident. A flooding event, an encroachment, a regulatory inquiry. The data they wished they'd had was a current, documented baseline of what the corridor looked like before the event. 📊 All three answers point to the same root cause - the right data wasn't in place early enough. ⚡ One flight. One dataset. Every phase of your project covered. Which category does your experience fall into?
