| nar aerial photographs can help you assess risks and evaluate properties - whether you are a bank making loans, an insurance company issuing policies or investigating claims, a firm involved in development, mergers and acquisitions, or a property buyer determining the environmental status of real estate. |
| environmental due diligence |
| Property owners can be protected from environmental liability if they meet the standards of the "innocent landowner defense" under federal law. Aerial photography is one of the most widely used tools to analyze prior use and onsite activity.
|
| legal industry |
| Aerial photography is extensively used as forensic evidence, mainly to document surface conditions, physical boundaries, prior use and/or onsite activities at any given period in time. In addition to interpretation of surface features, aerial photography can be used to interpret subsurface features. |
| real estate development |
| Real estate developers use current and historic aerial photography as a tool in site selection and in the due diligence process. By conducting a change analysis, a process whereby current imagery is viewed in conjunction with older imagery, developers can identify growth and infrastructure patterns to determine suitability of candidate site locations for residential, industrial, and commercial developments. |
| insurance industry flood determination |
| If you are involved in performing flood determinations, you may already be aware of the value of aerial photography for documenting structure location on properties for which only a portion lies within a FEMA designated flood zone. Many of today's flood determination companies call nar when they need documentation of these "portioned" properties. |
| archaeological field investigation |
| Aerial photography is available through nar's aerialsearchTM report, which uses the nar database of historical aerial photo collections held by libraries and aerial photo companies nationwide. This includes over 500 public and private sources with coverage back to the 1930's. |
| mineral prospecting and mine reclamation |
| At nar we appreciate aerial photography that is not cluttered with urban sprawl. Our aerialsearchTM report can provide the professional geologist with historical aerial photo coverage suitable for geomorphology or geologic reconnaissance mapping for new mining prospects. It can also be used for reclamation activities such as prior conditions mapping of mined properties, locating abandoned adits, and lineament studies to map the possible migration of industrial pollutants.
