VA St. Albans Building 89 – Drone Inspection
Queens, NY
Project overview
Building 89 at the VA St. Albans Community Living Center provides essential healthcare services to veterans in the New York area. The historic campus required comprehensive building envelope assessment to maintain safe and comfortable conditions for patients and staff.
SKYPYX performed a drone inspection to document roof conditions, masonry facades, and window systems across the building. Drones enabled full-building documentation without disrupting patient care or campus operations—capturing detailed imagery that supported the rehabilitation planning process.
Deliverables
- Roof condition photography and defect documentation
- Masonry facade imagery covering all building elevations
- Window system assessment documentation
- Building envelope defect records for engineering review
- Organized deliverable files for VA rehabilitation planning
Location & scope
The VA St. Albans campus is located in Queens, New York. As a secure federal government facility, all drone operations required coordination with VA administration and compliance with federal site access requirements. The inspection covered the full building envelope of Building 89, including the roof, all facade elevations, and window systems.
