Aerial Ops Drone Services proudly celebrates its first anniversary this month! It has been an incredible journey of growth and transformation. With over 25 years of expertise in Professional Photography and Video Production, and 21 years focused on the Construction Sector for Chris Wassam, Founder; the last four years have marked a remarkable shift into drone services specifically tailored for the Commercial Construction and Industrial sectors. Aerial Ops is changing how projects are managed by integrating cutting-edge technology into traditional practices.


This anniversary is not just a milestone; it’s a chance to reflect on our achievements, including new client partnerships and groundbreaking projects. Aerial Ops is dedicated to remaining a leader in the drone service industry, particularly in construction in SW Missouri and the greater Four-State Area.


Expanding the Client Base


In the past year, Aerial Ops has significantly broadened its portfolio by forging relationships with numerous construction clients. Our projects spanned various sectors, such as:


  • Road Construction: Utilizing aerial imaging to monitor progress and safety compliance, leading to a 30% increase in project efficiency.

  • Commercial Building Projects: Offering detailed site analysis and planning assistance, resulting in a 25% reduction in time-to-completion for major developments.

  • Commercial Real Estate: Providing stunning aerial views that enhanced property marketing efforts, contributing to a 15% rise in buyer interest.


Additionally, Aerial Ops has excelled in specialized services like Project Documentation, Mapping Projects, and Infrastructure Inspections on Bridges and Wind Turbines.

Technical Advancements and Training


A significant highlight of our year was the transformative road trip to Loveland, Colorado, where our team participated in a Technical Flight Mastery Training Course and an Advanced Drone Mapping Bootcamp. This experience sharpened our technical skills and improved our service quality dramatically.


Investing in advanced training ensures that Aerial Ops’ services stay at the forefront of technology. For instance, after our training, we improved the accuracy of our mapping services by 20%, enhancing project insights for our clients. The expertise gained through these experiences empowers our team to take on even the most complex projects with confidence and creativity.

Engaging with the Community



In September, Aerial Ops participated in the Missouri Association of County Transportation Officials (MACCTO) annual convention in Branson, MO. Our vendor booth provided Missouri’s Public Works officials with valuable insights into the technology drones bring to construction and infrastructure projects.


This event created vital networking opportunities and demonstrated how our aerial services streamline project management and improve communication in large-scale operations. By connecting with construction professionals, we foster awareness and knowledge about the practical uses of drone technology in their field.


Rebranding and Vision for the Future


Amid a year full of achievements, Aerial Ops underwent a remarkable transformation, thanks to collaboration with Global Air U’s business marketing team. This partnership resulted in a complete rebranding, including a new logo, an updated website, and fresh marketing materials.


The new brand reflects our commitment to innovation and quality service. Clients can look forward to more than just drone services; they will experience a creative partnership designed to provide effective and progressive solutions tailored to the construction sector.
