Well Pad & Tank Site Documentation
A record of every stage of the pad. Simsara Aerial flies well pads, access roads and tank sites across Washington, Greene and Fayette counties and northern West Virginia, and turns each visit into a dated, geo-aligned record you can compare flight to flight. Capture the site before clearing, through construction, drilling and completion, and again after restoration, from the same positions every time, so changes line up exactly. Each visit includes an orthomosaic, oblique photos of containment, berms, erosion and sediment controls and the access road, a tank and drum count, and a 3D model your team can open in a browser. When a landowner, inspector or adjuster asks what the site looked like on a given date, you have the answer. Subpixel-aligned reconstructions with millimeter-level detail, and survey-grade accuracy when tied to ground control or RTK.

Questions about site documentation
Does this replace a DEP inspection or an API 653 tank inspection?
No. We provide visual documentation that supports your own records and your inspectors. Certified tank integrity testing stays with a licensed inspector.
How often should a pad be flown?
At minimum before construction, at each major stage, and after restoration. Many operators add monthly flights while a pad is active.
Can you fly near active equipment?
Yes, under the site's safety rules and with the site supervisor's sign-off. We never fly over people.
Where do you work?
Washington, Greene, Fayette and Westmoreland counties in PA, northern West Virginia, and eastern Ohio, within about 300 miles of Farmington, PA.
Are you FAA certified and insured?
Part 107 certification and insurance have not been confirmed. Cert # [PART 107 CERT #]. Insurance: [INSURANCE].
