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

We imagine that our blog title will get a lot of attention, but we’re writing to thank BS* + beer for their contribution to the Turner High School Building Trades Class!  Not BEER, but a $1000 donation to help cover cost of the ongoing wireless broadband connection that runs our P-Tn ProgressWEBCAM on site at the newest residential building project for the Building Trades Class.  P-Tn has donated the hardware, expertise, and an Online INTERFACE so the school and community can watch this 1-2 year ...

We mentioned our new 'digs' last year, and now we're fully settled into our Operations Office. We employed one of our INTERIOR ProgressWEBCAM Units to capture some of the work that went into getting an empty space set up and organized for our production staff workstations, with a shop for maintenance of our small fleet of TMS Trailer Units, plus an office for GM and Head Photographer (and DRONE Pilot), Travis, as well as a conference room so we can meet with more of you - our valued clients.  ...

Understand DRONE OPERATION FUNDAMENTALS by downloading our DRONE MYTHS FLYER! An IMPORTANT reminder . . . to ASK, and VERIFY!  It's critically important, and easy to do. Ask your UAS-Drone PILOT - whether hired or a volunteer … whether a friend, relative, or associate - if they have been FAA Certified.  If the answer is "yes!", simply ask for their Certificate number. Then visit the official government FAA AIRMAN REGISTRY to enter their name or number, and you'll know for ... Read More about DRONE MYTHS & PILOT CERTIFICATION

We are proud to have L.G. Barcus & Sons as a decades-old client. We've been photographing their pier-drilling operations and bridge building activities for a long time ... and now we utilize our FAA Certified UAS-Drone Pilots to capture fascinating views of their crews completing their unique ...

Check out the completed structure in this follow-up AERIAL VIDEO!   We love this stuff!  For fifty years, and more, we’ve been photographing construction progress on projects large and small.  As founder, my first steps into the business of photography were my mud-covered boot prints on many a construction site.  This video edit from a recent AERIAL Progress Report for our client – Dondlinger Construction, HQ’d in Wichita, Kansas -- shows how we do progress documentation on some jobs today, ...
