2023 Highlights
Project Peace-of-Mind
We're certified and insured drone experts and this is what we do every day. It allows us to legally offer our extensive portfolio of services to you. We’re always working with municipal, provincial and federal governments, ensuring you peace-of-mind for whatever your project involves.
If you decide to look elsewhere, we understand. Just be sure your operator is operating within the Transport Canada regulations. If something goes wrong and they aren’t, the onus could be on you.
Certification & Insurance
Commercially operating drones in North America requires certification and licensing from Transport Canada (TC) and the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), as well as insurance. We take care of this with TC and FAA permission to operate virtually anywhere, and insurance policies significantly higher than industry minimums.
LDS isn’t limited to North America either. We are recently approved to operate in the UK as well. Learn more about our unmatched operational experience and drone industry knowledge.

Featured ROVs
We’ve grown to take our remotely operated expertise even further, with terrestrial & aquatic Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). We can now map or inspect dangerous terrain & underwater environments more safely, quickly & cost effectively.
We make your budget work
Pricing
Every project is unique and exciting. As a result, we don't have universal pricing for all of our service offerings. One day may involve regular aerial photos & videos for a charitable event, the next day may involve aerial LiDAR mapping for land contouring data.
We consider project duration, location, complexity, equipment needed, logistical preparation, and risk factor when coming to a dollar value. We work quickly and diligently to arrive at dollar figures that work for everyone, because we're not satisfied until you are.
