Data centers

See what’s actually happening on every campus

Document your data centers with drones, 360 cameras and robots to build a live, owner-controlled record from preconstruction through O&M.
Used on 3 million sites in 180 countries

Own your site data across every phase of the project lifecycle.

Documentation & disputes

Capture what matters before it’s buried.
Baseline every new site, then build a time‑stamped record for underground utilities, pads, racks and fit‑out so claims, audits and upgrades rely on proof.

Remote 
visibility

See every hall and corridor without flying to site.
Baseline every new site, then build a time‑stamped record for underground utilities, pads, racks and fit‑out so claims, audits and upgrades rely on proof.

Planning & maintenance

Plan and re‑sequence off what’s actually built.

Capture every phase of the data center lifecycle

DroneDeploy Aerial

Campus‑wide visibility in every flight
Baseline new sites before earthworks begin
Track cut/fill, pads and steel across the entire campus
Compare drone volumes and grades against surveyor data
Overlay design and BIM on live site maps for quick checks
Verify utilities, duct banks and drainage before backfill

DroneDeploy Ground

Autonomous inspections from the ground up
Use robots and 360 cameras to walk galleries, white space and MEP rooms
Compare interior walks against BIM to spot clashes and misses fast
Capture rack, cable tray and containment installs before ceilings close
Track equipment rooms, corridors and risers through every stage of fit‑out
Walk (or drive) once, share with project, controls and operations teams

Frequently asked questions

Is DroneDeploy the right fit for your data center programs?

Our GCs already use reality capture. Why do we need our own?

That’s a strength, not a conflict. Standardizing on your own DroneDeploy org lets you aggregate GC capture into a single, owner‑controlled record, so everyone is looking at the same source of truth while you still benefit from their existing workflows.

We already have cameras and video on site. How is this different?

Cameras and body cams capture moments. DroneDeploy turns those visuals and drone flights into structured, searchable, time‑stamped records you can use for portfolio views, progress, claims and audits.

Is this only for hyperscale greenfield builds?

No. Teams use DroneDeploy for greenfield campuses, expansions, retrofits and decommissions – anywhere scope, risk and complexity demand clear, shared visuals.

Do we need in‑house pilots or robotics experts to start?

You don’t. Many data center owners start with services flights and a small internal footprint, then scale into standard aerial and ground workflows as value is proven.

Can DroneDeploy meet our security and compliance requirements?

Yes. Customers use DroneDeploy as a central platform for flight operations and data because it offers encrypted data at rest and in transit, role‑based permissions, and enterprise‑grade controls including SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.

How does this work across multiple campuses globally?

DroneDeploy standardizes capture and data across sites, so maps and 360 walks roll up into portfolio, GIS and BI views for executives – without flying to every campus.

How does this help project controls and program management?

Reality capture becomes the starting point for status and progress – a time‑stamped “time capsule” you can reference when reconciling cost, schedule, risk and change.

Can we use this data for audits, disputes and lessons learned?

Yes. You can scroll back through captures – week by week or phase by phase – to see exactly what was on site, where and when, instead of reconciling viewpoints.

How does this fit with our BIM, CDE and reporting stack?

DroneDeploy acts as the visual layer. Maps, meshes and 360 walks link into your BIM, CDE, GIS and BI tools so executives, project teams and operators all point at the same truth.
