Solutions That Work, Right From the Ground Up.

From permit-ready site plans to advanced drone inspections, DATCO delivers the solutions that keep your projects moving — with the accountability of a local, Atlantic Canadian team.

Our Services

One Local Team. Three Ways to Move Your Project Forward.

One Source

Most Projects Need Three Vendors. This One Needs One.

Survey the site, design the works, get it approved — normally that's a drone outfit, an engineering firm and a permit consultant, each waiting on the other and none of them accountable for the gap. DATCO does all three in-house, so the data that comes off our aircraft is the data our engineers design from and the data that goes to your municipality.

We Capture It

Our own UAV and robotic fleet collects the survey — LiDAR, thermal, imagery and subsurface — at survey grade, on our schedule rather than a subcontractor's.

We Design From It

Our engineers work directly from that data. No re-survey, no format conversion losses, no "the drone company didn't capture that" three weeks in.

We Get It Approved

We prepare the drawings and application package and carry it through municipal review — the same team that flew the site answers the reviewer's questions.
