Where we work in Biloxi
Crews and equipment mobilize anywhere in the United States, with travel built into a fixed quote after a free site survey. The buildings we quote most often in Biloxi are hotels and resorts, office towers, hospitals and medical campuses, municipal and public buildings, apartment communities and retail centers.
Beach Boulevard casino corridor
Beau Rivage opened on the beachfront in March 1999 with 1,740 hotel rooms and about 72,000 square feet of casino floor behind a 346-foot tower.
Point Cadet and the east end
The IP Casino Hotel at the east end of Biloxi stands 335 feet over 32 floors, the second-tallest building in Mississippi after Beau Rivage.
Keesler Air Force Base
Keesler hosts the 81st Training Wing and the 403rd Wing, and its 81st Medical Group operates the second largest medical center in the Air Force.
Biloxi historic districts
Biloxi has six historic districts and more than 100 locally designated landmarks, including Beauvoir, the Old Brick House and the Magnolia Hotel.
Biloxi building stock
Biloxi recorded 49,449 residents at the 2020 census and carries a casino economy plus Keesler Air Force Base inside the city limits.
The two tallest buildings in Mississippi are both Biloxi casino hotels: Beau Rivage at 346 feet over 32 floors and the IP Casino Hotel at 335 feet over 32 floors.
Eight casino resorts operate in Biloxi, among them Beau Rivage, Golden Nugget, Hard Rock, Harrah's Gulf Coast, the IP, the Palace, Boomtown and Treasure Bay.
Beau Rivage alone carries 1,740 hotel rooms and about 72,000 square feet of casino floor in a tower finished in 1999, so one property is a multi-year glass and facade program.
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 Biloxi
Biloxi has a humid subtropical climate on the Gulf shoreline averaging 66.80 inches of rain a year, with a hurricane record running through Camille in 1969 and Katrina in 2005, so beachfront glass and facades stay wet and salt-exposed.
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 Biloxi
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.
Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport is Class C, so LAANC governs the controlled rings over Biloxi, and Keesler Air Force Base adds restricted military airspace along the Coast.
Mississippi bars a political subdivision from regulating the operation, airspace, altitude, flight paths or equipment of an uncrewed aircraft, so Biloxi controls only launch and landing on city-owned property plus general nuisance and trespass rules.
The Mississippi Unmanned Aircraft Systems Protection Act makes it a crime to use a drone to surveil or record critical infrastructure such as power, water, pipeline or telecom facilities without written consent.
Biloxi's stormwater management plan is mandated by the state environmental department and includes illicit discharge detection and elimination among its six program components, so nothing but stormwater is meant to reach the storm drains.
Biloxi has had a historic preservation review ordinance since 1985, administered by the Architectural and Historical Review Commission, so exterior work inside the six historic districts is checked against it 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 Mississippi page. See also where drones need permits.
