We know Wildwood's construction market because we've documented it: 39 aerial visits over the Old Dominion Freight Line LTL terminal build-out at the I-75 interchange, from first clearing to final paving. That project generated the timestamped visual record its stakeholders used for draw documentation, earthwork verification, and subcontractor billing — the same record we deliver for every Sumter County project we fly.
Old Dominion LTL Terminal:
109 Acres, 39 Visits Documented
A leading regional construction firm was tasked with the 109-acre build-out of the Old Dominion Freight Line LTL terminal, strategically located near the high-traffic I-75 Wildwood exit. The project required rigorous oversight, frequent earthwork volume tracking, and high-level documentation to keep out-of-state stakeholders informed of rapid progress.
352 Construction Drone Services was contracted to provide comprehensive aerial intelligence over the entire project lifecycle. We deployed bi-weekly flights, conducting 37 progress visits plus 2 twilight/night photography visits — 39 flights total — providing a complete historical record from initial clearing to final paving.

"The aerial documentation was invaluable. We had a complete visual record of every phase of construction, from clearing through paving. The consistent bi-weekly imagery allowed us to verify subcontractor work, track earthwork volumes accurately, and keep our out-of-state stakeholders informed without expensive site visits. The drone program paid for itself in the first month."

How We Handle Airspace
Wildwood Municipal Airport (X60)
Wildwood Municipal Airport (X60) is an uncontrolled general aviation airfield. While it does not require LAANC authorization like a Class D airport, responsible operations near X60 require:
- Pre-flight NOTAM checks for active flight operations
- Airspace classification verification before each mission
- Voluntary airport notification for operations in proximity
- Monitoring of Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF)
- Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) checks for the I-75 corridor
