Why is there a drone flying over my neighborhood?
Great question! You may have seen a drone being used by the City’s Engineering Department as part of an effort to improve how we inspect and maintain pavement across Wentzville.
We’re using drone technology to safely and efficiently assess pavement conditions (slabs)— something that used to be done manually with utility task vehicles (UTVs) on the road. Now, drones can capture high-quality video from above, helping us speed up inspections while keeping our crews off busy streets.
Our drones are flown at safe heights, follow all FAA regulations, and are only used in areas where aerial inspection is appropriate. We’re excited to use this advanced tool to help maintain and improve Wentzville’s infrastructure.
Where is the drone today?
