Click READ MORE to view our VIDEO! This has been a busy construction season for our ProgressWEBCAM Systems.  Especially for our T-M-S small-footprint Trailer Units, which make for prompt deployment to construction sites with solar power, wireless broadband, and an easy to position (and reposition) trailer with a 20-30 foot mast for the camera.  As you can see, these units are light weight and easy to transport.  Set up is just as easy, using either a multi-camera approach, or a pan-tilt-zoom ...

Click READ MORE to view our VIDEO! We’ve been ‘doing’ construction progress documentation for 50 years – FIFTY!  Not the same project, of course … but some form of progress recording none-the-less.  Today, we utilize UAS-Drone technology to record field conditions and activities.  Fifty years ago it was all handled with medium-format cameras shooting black & white film to make 8x10 prints.  There are a variety of approaches available to our A / E / C [architecture / engineering ...

A major online presence is not necessary for many businesses, but as you may already have suspected ... "absence from the web is conspicuous"!  Time for P-Tn to announce a part of our service line-up that we've been handling 'on the side' when clients occasionally approach us to request some assistance with their web site.  We have a team of professionals on staff and on call than just might be of help. TLC [tender-loving-care] may be all that's lacking.  A web site is not intended to run on ... Read More about YOUR WEB SITE NEEDS SOME TLC

This is a typical environment for our professional photographers as we provide our Visual Documentation Services to clients throughout the Midwest.  However, construction progress photography is only one situation we excel in.  Our service line-up ranges from PRE-Construction photo or video documentation before a contractor even enters the site, to haul route coverage, to Pre-Occupancy photos of a finished build, along with marketing-quality final photographs or a promotional ...

This photo of yours truly and a (moving, yes it was moving, albeit s-l-o-w-l-y) BNSF Freight Train Engine was taken at a rural crossing after P-Tn made our small contribution to video documentation of the area after a derailment incident.  We have provided limited services in this arena for a number of years, as well as documentation of other sites and situations for legal records and court presentations.  The value of a “third party professional photographer” capturing and providing photographs ...

P-Tn's professional photographers are highly experienced in documenting curb and pavement damage, which we've highlighted with red arrows in this image.  Not particularly exciting, but this visual documentation is very important for protecting our clients.  We will find the existing damage before construction begins.  And P-Tn walks A LOT OF MILES to protect our clients!  We look for, and record in photos and/or video, existing damage near construction sites.  For ...

No… I do not work for the Railroad.  However, P-Tn provides services that impact Railroad work, and many other industries.  As we provide photo/video documentation to our long list of construction & engineering clients, work on or near bridges and railroads inevitably comes into play.   One of our oldest and most valued clients specializes in bridge construction, including railroad bridge new construction and repair.  That work brings P-Tn into the mix for ...

No, we don’t do any baking, but we DO get hands-on with what we do.  That ranges from taking our photographs, and recording our own videos, to performing our own computer processing of those images, to video editing, to flying our drones, and … sometimes, like this photo shows … building our own hardware components, repairing our small fleet of ProgressWEBCAM trailers, and preparing for custom installations of those systems on our clients’ building sites.  Once we build it or create, we have a ...
