Stockpile Volumetrics for Greensboro & Guilford County

Holmes and Watson provides Stockpile Volumetrics across Greensboro and Guilford County — typically a 30–35 minutes mobilization from our Winston-Salem headquarters into the Piedmont Triad. We routinely fly across Downtown Greensboro, Fisher Park, and Irving Park, and we coordinate FAA airspace authorizations and property-management access for every job.

Greensboro's commercial inventory is dominated by Class A and B office near Friendly Center and downtown, plus enormous flat-roof distribution and manufacturing along the I-40/I-85 corridor and around PTI. Roof assemblies skew toward TPO and EPDM on the logistics side, with mix-of-era built-up roofing on legacy manufacturing. Within that mix, Stockpile Volumetrics addresses drone-based volumetrics are typically within 1-3% of traditional survey methods, completed in a fraction of the time, with no rover crews walking unstable piles.

Why Greensboro Properties Use Drone Stockpile Volumetrics

On a 600,000 sq ft distribution roof, a traditional infrared crew with handheld cameras and a bucket truck takes days. A drone-mounted radiometric sensor can complete the same survey in a single evening cooling cycle and produce a defensible orthomosaic for the building owner's capital plan.
