Drones in Sasolburg
Sasolburg was planned around a large petrochemical complex, and much of its drone work is industrial. Plants ask for flare stack, pipe rack and tank inspections, often with thermal cameras, while contractors want progress mapping on maintenance shutdowns. These sites are restricted and need strict permits and safety briefings. The Vaal Dam and Vaal River to the east draw leisure and property filming at Deneysville and Vaalpark. Highveld summers bring thunderstorms and lightning, and winter mornings are hazy with smoke and frost. Vereeniging has a small airport across the river, so check airspace before flying.
