NATiVE’s commercial ops team recently finished up work on another fairly good-sized project not far from my home here in Austin. I was itching to get some aerial shots of the completed sitework before now but, stuff happens… And, the weather has been a little intense lately (understatement, i know…).   But I did manage to send our new drone up to search for a bit of solar eye candy over a couple of long coffee breaks.

My peek up-top did not disappoint!  I managed to get a nice set of cinematic site sweeps which show off a little bit of our construction efforts.   One of the days I caught a couple of NATiVE Sr. Techs up there doing a bit of followup site work…

*I think we should actually give *MUCH MORE PROPS* to the field engineering and ops teams for the incredibly careful and hard work that goes into these projects.

For us it’s always a human-group-effort first. It’s not just about the tech or the process. It’s about trusted human collaboration to get all the stuff right. I know the team and our project partners are super-proud of both the effort taken and the final results.
