Where we work in Evansville

The buildings we quote most often in Evansville are office towers, hospitals and medical campuses, university and school campuses, hotels and resorts, industrial and logistics buildings and apartment communities.

The Ford Center arena opened downtown in 2011 and seats 11,000 for concerts, 10,000 for basketball and 9,000 for hockey.

Deaconess Health System runs 11 hospitals across Indiana and Kentucky, with 350 beds at Deaconess Midtown in the city and 200 at Deaconess Gateway next door in Newburgh.
The city holds the University of Evansville, an Indiana University School of Medicine campus and the corporate offices of Berry Global, OneMain Financial, Old National Bank and Shoe Carnival.
A tethered drone reaches up to 200 ft, about 18 stories, from one staging position; taller towers are worked from podiums, setbacks or the roof. Height is a planning question at the survey, not a limit.
Climate, soiling and season in Evansville
Evansville lies at the northern limit of the humid subtropical zone and averages 45.3 inches of precipitation with only 11.8 inches of snow a year, so mildew and algae growth outweigh freeze damage on exteriors here.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather; the freeze dates shown are averages and the survey confirms the window for your building. Recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
Flying and washing in Evansville
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Controlled airspace here needs FAA authorization before launch; LAANC grants it in advance and it is filed as part of scheduling.
Evansville Regional Airport holds Class C airspace over the city, and LAANC authorization is required before launch in Class B, C, D and surface E airspace.
Indiana DNR rule 312 IAC 8-2-8(i) bars operating a motor driven airborne device on DNR property such as state parks, forests and reservoirs except at designated sites.
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management states that power washing wastewater carried by streets, gutters and inlets into storm sewers reaches Waters of the State in violation of state law, and that discharging to a treatment plant needs the plant's permission first.
Flights stage from the client's own property with the owner's written consent; public parks and rights of way are not used as launch sites without a permit.
Rinse water is contained and recovered wherever the local storm-drain rule requires it, and the containment method is written into the proposal.
Any sidewalk or lane closure is permitted with the city before the job and its lead time is part of the schedule.
State-level drone law, licensing and the statewide season are on the Indiana page. See also where drones need permits.
