Areas we serve / Dalroy
Dalroy's built form is the survey grid itself. From the air the hamlet is a loose gathering of yard sites along Dalroy Road, each one a treed island inside open cropland, with Range Road 285 and Township Road 253 ruling the pattern into squares.

Dalroy's built form is the survey grid itself. From the air the hamlet is a loose gathering of yard sites along Dalroy Road, each one a treed island inside open cropland, with Range Road 285 and Township Road 253 ruling the pattern into squares. Ground photography shows the buildings and loses the holding. For a yard site or acreage here, the arrangement — house, outbuildings, shelterbelt and the land they command — is the asset, and none of it fits in an eye-level frame.
A rising reveal over the yard puts the whole composition back together, from rooflines to fence lines. Because Dalroy sits in controlled airspace, the NAV CANADA authorisation is filed as part of booking, with delivery in the standard turnaround.
Dalroy sits about 9 km from Calgary International, inside the CYYC control zone as charted. Flights here are conducted under an Advanced RPAS certificate with a NAV CANADA RPAS authorisation obtained before the shoot is confirmed. The specific site and altitude are confirmed against NAV Drone before every flight. This is a corridor-level assessment; the specific address is confirmed against NAV Drone before every flight.
Open grain country ruled into squares by the range-road grid, with treed yard sites scattered as the only vertical relief; the land runs level toward the city with long sightlines in every direction.
Chinook-belt farmland with open exposure. Shelterbelts are the only windbreaks in this landscape — which is why the yards planted them — and on gusty days they mark the calm on the ground without calming anything at flying altitude.
Shelterbelts hold the frame together year-round while the fields around them cycle from seeded rows to stubble. Late light after green-up gives the yards their strongest separation, and fresh snow reduces the grid to graphic black and white.
Rocky View County's public-land rules apply to road allowances and municipal parcels; the working default is takeoff and landing from the client's own property with permission. About 25 minutes from the Calgary base. The CYYC authorisation is filed as part of booking, and Dalroy pairs naturally with Delacour, Balzac or Conrich on a single mobilisation.
These sit inside or immediately adjacent to Dalroy and are checked on every sortie. None of them is visible from a map at driveway scale, which is why the address is confirmed against NAV Drone rather than assumed from the postcode.

McKinsey research cited across the inspection sector finds that organisations relying on manual inspection spend materially more on maintenance and safety than those using drone-based assessment.
For a portfolio of assets, the inspection method is a recurring cost line, not a one-off purchase. The differential compounds annually.

Up to 75% less time
McKinsey & Company reports that drones can cut surveying time by up to three quarters against traditional ground methods — a three-day site survey completed inside one.
On a consulting engagement billed by the day, survey duration is not a line item. It is the schedule.

Advanced certificate
Transport Canada requires a Pilot Certificate for Advanced Operations to fly a remotely piloted aircraft in controlled airspace or near bystanders.
Most of Calgary sits inside the CYYC control zone. An operator without this certificate cannot legally fly the majority of addresses in the city.

Relative positions of Dalroy and Delacour, Balzac, Keoma — not a navigational chart. Distances are great-circle approximations from the coordinates on each location page.
Most Dalroy work is agricultural or industrial yard, and the shot list follows the subject. Mobilisation is stated separately from the fee.
Checked against NAV Drone from the address, not the postcode. Dalroy is class c control zone (cyyc), so authorisation is filed before the date is confirmed — but Calgary International Airport (CYYC) is 9 km away and its circuit is plotted regardless.

About 25 minutes from the Calgary base. Launch from the subject property with the owner's permission; rocky View County's public-land rules apply to road allowances and municipal parcels; the working default is takeoff and landing from the client's own property with permission.
Edited files delivered digitally — no attendance required at any stage, which is how out-of-province owners of Dalroy property are served.
Dalroy sits about 9 km from Calgary International, inside the CYYC control zone as charted, so flights are conducted under an Advanced RPAS certificate with a NAV CANADA RPAS authorisation obtained before the shoot is confirmed. The exact site and altitude are verified against NAV Drone before every flight.
Yes, and it usually should be. Dalroy is about 25 minutes from the Calgary base, with Delacour, Balzac and Conrich a short drive away, so one trip can cover a yard site here and a neighbouring property the same day. Grouping keeps the mobilisation efficient for everyone.
Working land, mostly. Yard sites, equipment lines and the field grid around Range Road 285 all read cleanly from altitude, and the industrial land toward Conrich photographs well for owners and brokers. Inside this airspace, each site's flight altitude is set by the NAV CANADA authorisation.
Calgary International Airport (CYYC) approach paths. Each sits inside or immediately adjacent to Dalroy and is plotted before every sortie. Dalroy sits about 9 km from Calgary International, inside the CYYC control zone as charted.

Mobilisation from the Calgary base is 25 minutes. The binding constraint is the NAV CANADA authorisation, which is filed before the date is confirmed rather than after. Reply within one business day on any enquiry.
Mobilisation is quoted from the Calgary base, so a shoot in Dalroy and one 8 km away in Delacour are priced differently even when the subject is identical.
