Pavement Condition
Every distress located, measured, and photographed
Parking lots fail slowly and then all at once. The distresses that decide whether a lot needs crack seal or a full overlay are visible from the air long before they are obvious from a truck window. Sentinel Aerial Inspections documents pavement condition referenced to the TM 5-623 distress definitions, and hands your engineer and your paving contractor a georeferenced inventory they can price from.
What's Included
Two-Pass Capture
The first pass maps the site with the wide camera and builds the orthomosaic and surface model. The second pass flies lower with the tele camera, at roughly 3 mm per pixel, for close detail imagery of the cracks, which becomes the evidence record behind every distress in the report. One visit, two flight profiles.
Georeferenced Distress Map
Every recorded distress is located on the site orthomosaic with coordinates, so your contractor can find it and your engineer can measure it. Exported for GIS or CAD alongside the report.
Distress Inventory
Each distress recorded by type and quantity taken off the orthomosaic in the units the standard specifies. Cracking in linear feet, area distresses in square feet, counted distresses by count.
Evidence Imagery Behind Every Distress
Every distress carries the aerial and detail imagery it was recorded from, so your engineer reviews the same evidence. Sentinel Aerial Inspections does not assign severity ratings and does not compute a pavement condition index. Where a crack width decides the repair, your engineer confirms it on the ground.
Drainage and Ponding
The surface model shows where water collects. Flow accumulation over the site flags standing-water zones, which is where pavement fails first and where most condition reports say nothing.
Where this stops
- Sentinel Aerial Inspections documents and quantifies distress.
- Elevation distresses such as rutting come from the surface model rather than the imagery, and are reported as such.
Turnaround
Distress inventory and georeferenced condition map delivered within five business days of the flight.
Available Add-ons
Restriping Study
A proposed stall layout for the existing footprint, tested across parking angles and row orientations, with the accessible stall count the ADA standards require. Delivered as a scaled planning drawing for weighing options and sizing the job. A licensed professional seals the drawing that goes out for construction.
Multi-Year Comparison
Repeat flights on the same site compared against the prior flight so deterioration rates are visible and maintenance budgets can be defended.
