Service Area: Home Base in the Upper Midwest, Missions Nationwide
Northern Drone is headquartered in West Fargo, North Dakota, with full mobile deployment capability. Our primary region — a day's drive from base — gets the fastest scheduling and the lowest mobilization costs; everywhere else in the country is a planned deployment away.
The Upper Midwest
- North Dakota — home turf. The Fargo–Moorhead metro, Grand Forks, Bismarck, Minot, and Williston: powerline corridors, flood-control infrastructure, construction terrain models, and pipeline work reaching into the Bakken.
- Minnesota — lakes-country bathymetry, campus utility mapping, Red River Valley agriculture, and corridor LiDAR from Moorhead to the Twin Cities, Duluth, and Rochester.
- South Dakota — aggregate and quarry volumetrics, ag surveys, and infrastructure mapping around Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, and Rapid City.
- Montana & the Bakken — energy-sector GPR and corridor work where the oilfield crosses state lines.
- Wisconsin & Iowa — regional deployments for utility, agricultural, and industrial clients across the upper Mississippi basin.
Nationwide, By Design
Every platform we fly — LiDAR, GPR, sonar, multispectral, thermal — travels in one mobile kit, and every mission is planned remotely before we arrive: airspace authorizations, ground control strategy, weather windows, site logistics. That's what "we come to you" actually means. For multi-site programs, we sequence sites into a single deployment so mobilization is shared instead of repeated — often the difference that makes a national program pencil out.
Distance from West Fargo factors into a quote exactly once, as a transparent line item — see how pricing works. Everything else costs the same in Texas as it does in town.
Service Area FAQ
Yes — the equipment and the certifications travel with us, and mission planning happens before we leave. For distant projects we'll tell you honestly whether a single site justifies the trip or whether bundling sites (or timing with a nearby deployment) gets you a better number.
Primary-region projects: typically within days, weather permitting. National deployments: usually inside two weeks from an approved quote, faster for time-critical work. Quotes come back within one business day either way.
