Beachwood, Ohio-based Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance teamed up with Toronto-based Industrial SkyWorks, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and data solutions company that received the first-ever approval for nighttime flights in the U.S.—moving the construction industry to the forefront of the UAV field.
The team did a lot of work to get the exemption, says Robb Chauvin, executive director inspection services, Termco. “We started doing night jobs in Canada a year and half ago,” he says, adding that, at the time, the operator started petitioning the Federal Aviation Administration for the exemption.
