Sightline Geospatial Information

Sightline Geospatial delivers NDAA-compliant aerial mapping, survey, and inspection for infrastructure owners, engineering firms, utilities, and government agencies across Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. We sell outcomes — packaged as products that drop into our clients' workflows. RTK topographic mapping, orthomosaics, DSMs and 3D models, bridge and infrastructure inspection, aggregate volumetric monitoring, transmission and substation patrol, wind blade and solar thermal scanning, pipeline right-of-way patrol, and recurring construction site monitoring. What separates Sightline: NDAA Section 889–compliant operations on Blue UAS Cleared platforms — meeting the supply-chain security standards required for federal, state, and utility work. Engineering rigor — documented procedures, accuracy reporting, persistent client data access, and certificates of insurance issued before engagements rather than after. Deliverable quality grounded in professional visual discipline. Aerial work is fundamentally a visual discipline, and our output reflects two decades of professional command of exposure, composition, and color management — not the incidental output of a good camera on a drone. Founded and operated by Will Godfrey, a former McKinsey & Company Digital Expert and a professional photographer of fifteen years before consulting. Coralville, Iowa. Serving the Iowa City–Cedar Rapids corridor and the broader Midwest. Where engineering rigor meets aerial precision.
