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 ...

**SORRY, boys & girls - SOLD OUT!  There is a Symposium coming up on September 14 & 15th.   That would be the Midwest Building Science Symposium, where you and other quality building professionals will come together to explore the true meaning of BS* [which stands for BUILDING SCIENCE] and share their knowledge on high performance building.  And YES, it will also involve BEER!   **BUT, there's one coming up in Chattanooga, TN!  Have a LOOK! The ... Read More about BUILDING SCIENCE SYMPOSIUM

Tim is making final adjustments on the installation of another P-Tn ProgressWEBCAM System … this one in the great state of Indiana!  Remote MEANS “remote” – in remote site monitoring.  Have a look at what this Pan-Tilt-Zoom unit can capture through the course of a turf installation on an athletic field by watching this example of one of our TIME-LAPSE VIDEOS. In addition to the marketing-quality Time-lapse, remote access to our system allows viewing of daily PICS captured throughout the ... Read More about ProgressWEBCAM INSTALLS are ONGOING

Here is an example of what we call a “Video Marketing Short”.  We’re creating more and more of these unique presentations for our clients – after producing many such videos that concentrate on imagery from our creative UAS-Drone flights.  Video has become very popular with all businesses that want to make an impression, and want to do so in a matter of a minute or two.  Motion – alone – has the potential to attract far greater attention than a single, still photo.  Much of our work is field or ...

Here we are once again – on the streets of the Kansas City Metro.   Another street maintenance or improvement project has come our way, and we’re out completing documentation (this time VIDEO) along the route.  We’re creating a POST-Construction video record of the completed repair work along an Overland Park major traffic artery.  Our last article on the subject had Travis in La CYGNE, KS … before that, we’ve been in BLAIR, NE, plus a number of other recent out of town project ...

It’s DARK down here … so we bring along our own lighting for VIDEOS – UNDERGROUND!  This photo was taken of our General Manager on an assignment to provide our PRE-Construction video documentation coverage of a major storm sewer system below a future shopping center development site.  No drones or pull-thru video is practical in this situation, so we use our feet (and a good set of boots or waders) to work our way thru the pipes, examining and documenting conditions as we go.  We bring along ...

Yup, another bridge in the same month!  Actually, this work is something we do frequently, but it once again illustrates that P-Tn photographers or videographers are often in rural areas in Kansas, Missouri, NE, IA, OK, AR, and sometimes beyond – completing PRE-Construction documentation.    This work is very much the same as the documentation work we routinely complete on construction projects in the Kansas City Metropolitan area.  The point, of course, is that our teams handle projects ...

Clearly this is NOT a picture of Willie Nelson, but we (our photographers at P-Tn) are “Back on the Road Again”!  That is the LaCygne, Kansas Power Plant on the right, high-voltage transmission lines on the left, and our Head Photographer and Drone Pilot (Travis Berndt) walking along another rural highway . . . We do this all the time – really.  We walk (or occasionally fly over) hundreds of miles of streets, roads, and highways – thousands of miles over the course of FIFTY YEARS in business.  ...

… and another ProgressWEBCAM start-up!  We keep that phrase going, especially during the non-winter months, as our clients order ProgressWEBCAM Systems for their remote construction project sites.  Our peak occurs during the summer and fall, but we operate ProgressWEBCAM units year-round, of course.  This start-up involves one of our T-M-S units at a site in rural Iowa, where L.G. Barcus is preparing to replace an existing railroad bridge.  Their project team will be monitoring the critical ... Read More about ProgressWEBCAM REMOTE Site-Monitoring
