in-house , including multiple vehicles with high-resolution cameras that are capable of collecting the wide range of data needed by the energy market .
One of Thrasher ’ s specialties is LiDAR collection . With the large amount of earthwork involved in energy projects and the difficult terrain of West Virginia ’ s hills , landslides and slips are a common occurrence . Thrasher ’ s team works to help repair these issues . By taking a LiDAR-mounted UAS to the site , Thrasher ’ s experts are able to safely and accurately collect data points from the landslide that are needed to design its repairs , all without ever physically touching the dirt or putting a person in harm ’ s way .
With companies like Thrasher leading the way , drone technology in West Virginia will only continue to expand . The innovation of UAS technology is ever-growing , and the future is bright for its application . As a state rich in natural resources and home to a difficult terrain , the Mountain State is the perfect place to watch the future of this industry unfold . •
