Based in St. Louis, we provide professional drone mapping, solar site assessments, photogrammetry, and field documentation services for engineering firms, EPC contractors, developers, and infrastructure professionals throughout Missouri, Illinois, and the greater Midwest.

Altura Midwest was founded by St. Louis native, Asher Bushong, whose background in commercial drone operations and solar site planning highlighted the growing need for reliable field data in the renewable energy industry. Since entering the solar sector, he has completed more than 500 solar site assessments across the Midwest, supporting residential, commercial scale projects. That experience has shaped a practical understanding of the information engineering and construction teams need to move projects from concept through completion.

Using advanced UAS technology and industry-standard photogrammetry workflows, we produce high-resolution aerial imagery, 3D models, terrain data, and comprehensive site documentation that integrates seamlessly into engineering, CAD, and GIS workflows. Every project is performed with an emphasis on accuracy, consistency, safety, and timely delivery.

Our focus is delivering accurate, actionable field data that supports informed decision-making throughout every stage of a project. From initial site feasibility and engineering design to construction documentation and asset management, we provide dependable geospatial data that helps reduce site visits, improve planning, and streamline project execution.

We understand that quality field data is the foundation of successful engineering and construction. Whether supporting a single commercial installation or a portfolio of utility-scale developments, we are committed to delivering professional service, dependable communication, and data our clients can trust.

Our mission is simple: provide accurate field intelligence that enables better engineering, more efficient construction, and successful project delivery.
