Our Capabilities

What We Actually Do

Six specialised service lines, one integrated team — built to serve Tamil Nadu's most demanding aerial data requirements.

RTK Drone Survey & GIS Mapping

Centimetre-accurate topographic surveys, orthomosaic generation, and GIS-ready deliverables — powered by dual-frequency RTK drones and ground control networks.

Thermal & Visual Inspection

AI-assisted thermal imaging for solar parks, power lines, wind turbines, and industrial assets — identifying faults that visible-light cameras miss entirely.

Precision Agriculture

Multispectral NDVI mapping, crop stress analysis, variable-rate application support, and yield estimation surveys — tailored for Tamil Nadu's paddy, sugarcane, and horticultural belts.

LiDAR Point Cloud Mapping

Dense 3D point cloud generation for forested corridors, urban planning, flood modelling, and infrastructure BIM integration — where photogrammetry alone falls short.

Construction & Earthworks Monitoring

Volumetric calculations, cut-and-fill analysis, progress tracking, and 3D site models — giving project managers real-time visibility over large construction sites.

Aerial Photography & Marketing Media

High-resolution aerial stills and cinematic video for real estate, infrastructure showcases, and brand communication — DGCA-compliant, studio-grade output.

What Professionals Say About Us

Feedback from the engineers, agronomists, and project leaders who depend on our aerial data every day.

Thulir's thermal inspection report on our 3 MW solar park flagged 47 underperforming string groups we had no visibility on. The payback period on their fee was literally under two weeks.

Karthikeyan S.
O&M Manager — Solar IPP, Tirunelveli

We replaced a 12-day ground survey with a 2-day Thulir drone survey for our ring road alignment. The volumetric data matched our cross-section calculations within 0.8% — that's exceptional accuracy.

Pradeep R.
Senior Design Engineer — Road & Highways, Erode

After Thulir's NDVI survey, we targeted variable-rate urea application on just 40% of our banana plantation. Saved ₹1.1L in input costs and actually improved yield uniformity in the next harvest cycle.
