Remote Drone Technology: Erosion Management with AI
Matt Harvey | Owner and CEO, Edge Drone Services
Mitchell Baldwin | Business Development Manager, Edge Drone Services
Date: 21st May 2026
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar – On Demand
Our proposed webinar will explore how remote drone dock technology is transforming erosion and sediment control monitoring. Traditionally, BMP inspections required in-person site visits, but automated drone systems now enable daily, reliable oversight without stepping foot on the jobsite. We will showcase our white-glove service model, which integrates drone dock automation with AI-driven BMP fault detection to streamline compliance workflows. Attendees will learn how real-time alerts and on-demand site visuals improve project management, safety, and decision-making. This technology eliminates the need to navigate unsafe terrain after storm events, creating a new standard of effortless, full-site accessibility.
