Exceptional Drone Services Canada

About

Exceptional Drone Services provides aerial and ground based inspections, specializing in advanced infrared inspections for critical infrastructure, delivering thermal and visual assessments for federal, provincial, and commercial clients. Our inspections focus on non-descructive thermal imaging for building envelopes, roofs, and electrical or mechanical systems. We also deliver specialized aerial data solutions across multiple sectors including infrastructure (bridge) inspection, agriculture, surveying and mapping, mining, volumetrics measurements, photogrammetry, and construction monitoring. Our team holds Transport Canada Advanced RPAS certifications and Level III Thermography certification, partnering with Canadian Quality Inspections to provide P.Eng-stamped reports when required. From RTK/PPK survey-grade mapping and stockpile measurements, forest fire detection, and asset inspection, we serve federal, provincial, and commercial clients across Western Canada with full regulatory compliance and $2M liability coverage. We also offer professional video production and editing for small commercial projects as well as private or corporate events. Exceptional Drone Services Canada (EDSC) is a Transport Canada certified Advanced RPAS operator providing comprehensive aerial inspection, surveying, and thermographic services across Canada.
