"Chzld Pxl – Above Every Mission."
Critical infrastructure inspections are still slow, expensive, and risky. After storms or during routine maintenance, crews often spend days setting up scaffolding or waiting for helicopter availability while decisions are delayed and costs climb. The average helicopter inspection runs $5,000–$15,000 per day, and manual methods continue to expose workers to unnecessary fall risks and lost productivity that costs industries millions every year.
We know this struggle. We’ve seen the delays, the danger, and the budget overruns firsthand.
Chzld Pxl is your guide to a better way.
What it is: FAA Part 107 certified drone teams with advanced electric platforms featuring the Skydio X10, high-precision PPK/RTK systems, and thermal imaging.
What it does: We replace outdated methods with fast, safe, precise aerial intelligence. We cut costs 50–70%, eliminate worker risk, and deliver real-time thermal and visual data in hours — not days. Sustainable. NDAA-compliant. We’ve already proven it works.
Our core services include FAA Part 107 thermal and infrared inspections for utilities and buildings, high-precision aerial mapping and photogrammetry, HD cinematic video for documentation, corridor and infrastructure surveys, and complete drone maintenance, repair, and overhaul.
Our fleet, led by the Skydio X10, delivers clear, actionable intelligence quickly and safely on every project.
The commercial drone services industry is growing rapidly as the FAA opens more airspace and companies seek safer, greener, and more cost-effective alternatives to traditional aerial methods. Drones are quickly becoming the preferred choice for infrastructure inspection, construction monitoring, and asset management across energy, government, and commercial sectors.
We serve utilities, construction firms, infrastructure owners, state/local governments, and federal agencies that need reliable aerial inspection and mapping services. As a service-disabled veteran-owned SDVOSB, we are built for government contracts and rapid, professional deployment on projects where precision and reliability matter most.
Our value comes from combining precision and discipline with cutting-edge electric drone technology. Unlike traditional helicopter or manual inspection companies, we deliver faster results, lower costs, and zero worker risk at competitive prices.
Mark D’Andrea, Founder and CEO of Chzld Pxl, LLC, a veteran-owned drone services company based in Orlando, Florida built his first custom sUAS Drone for aerial photography and video in 2014.
Today we deliver FAA Part 107-certified professional sUAS solutions: thermal/IR inspections for energy & infrastructure, 3D Photogrammetry mapping, HD cinematic video, pipeline/power line surveys, and full MRO drone repair. Our electric fleet cuts costs and carbon while delivering enterprise-grade results for government, utilities, construction, and public safety.
