WHY KESTREL

Kestrel Aerial provide infrastructure asset owners a safer, faster, cheaper and better means of ensuring integrity and regulatory compliance.

Historically, infrastructure integrity and compliance regimes were managed via expensive, time consuming and manual methods such as periodic site surveys, aerial photography, soil samples and human vial inspection. These methods continue to leave infrastructure asset owners exposed to expensive non compliances and consequential liabilities.

Founded in Conroe Texas in 2021, Kestrel Aerial harnesses recent developments in the cloud computing, Unmanned Aerial System (UAS), LiDAR and hyperspectral sensing, artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to provide faster, cheaper and more accurate condition assessment and monitoring, diagnostic reporting and remediation solutions.

KA offers its services directly to asset owners but also partners with established inspection and surveying companies via its a white labeled Drone As A Service (Daas) solution which enables them to enjoy all the benefits of in-house drone capability with none of the capex costs, specialized skills recruitment, technology evolution or utilization headaches .
