The corridor's tightest ceiling, checked parcel by parcel.
Chantilly sits between the Dulles Class B airspace overhead and the Route 50 / Route 28 industrial corridor — data centers and industrial parks, warehouse and flex buildings, commercial centers, and office stock, all inside the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area. We verify your parcel's airspace before we promise a date, then fly radiometric thermal and high-resolution visual capture across 100% of the surveyed surface.

Chantilly sits inside the DC SFRA, so operations run under FAA authorization with NOTAM discipline. Inside the SFRA the standing UAS security NOTAM is VMC-only and bars night, so flights are scheduled in daytime and twilight windows. IAD's Class B airspace sits overhead, which makes the altitude question a parcel question: your grid cell's ceiling or Part 107's 400-foot limit, whichever is lower. The DC FRZ clips the eastern edge of Fairfax County; that airspace is out of scope for our aerial work and we decline it at intake.

What we inspect in Chantilly.
Colocation campuses along the Route 50 / Route 28 corridor
Roof assemblies, cooling plants, and electrical yards across campuses where the buildings carry load around the clock. Thermal capture finds wet insulation, cooling losses, and connections running warm before they turn into a service interruption.
Industrial parks, warehouse, and flex roofs
Large low-slope assemblies across Chantilly's industrial parks. Moisture trapped under intact membrane is invisible from the ground and obvious in thermal — located by section, before it becomes a tear-out.
Retail and commercial centers
Low-slope and standing-seam roofs over tenant spaces, plus the rooftop mechanical the tenants depend on. One pass gives ownership and occupants the same severity-ranked record to work from.
Office and back-office buildings
Envelope and roof capture on office stock along the corridor — missing or wet insulation, roof moisture, and rooftop equipment sitting outside its normal temperature signature.

Chantilly, answered.
Can you fly in Chantilly? It sits inside the DC SFRA and under Dulles traffic.
Yes — Chantilly measures 18.6 NM from the DCA VOR/DME, inside the 30-mile Special Flight Rules Area, and it is core service area for us. Two layers apply here: the SFRA's rules and IAD's Class B airspace overhead. Both are handled the same way, with prior FAA authorization for the specific parcel and NOTAM discipline on top of it, before we commit to a date.
Chantilly has a low altitude ceiling. What does that mean for our building?
It means the ceiling that applies to you may sit well below 400 feet — a Chantilly-area cell has been logged at 150 feet, among the lowest recorded in the corridor. A low cell is not a dead end; it changes the flight profile and the authorization path. Above the cell ceiling the request goes to the FAA's manual process, we file early, and we tell you what your parcel will actually support before anyone talks about scheduling.
Can you fly at night to catch thermal contrast?
Inside the SFRA, no — the standing UAS security NOTAM limits operations to clear-weather daylight. Thermal contrast does peak in the hours after sunset, so for parcels verified outside the SFRA we schedule night capture; for Chantilly parcels we plan around twilight and dry-day windows, which still produce strong ΔT separation on a wet roof.
Do you serve the eastern side of Fairfax County?
It depends on where the line falls. The DC Flight Restricted Zone clips the eastern edge of the county — McLean, Tysons, and Annandale screen inside it — and aerial work there runs through a TSA/FAA airspace waiver process that is out of scope for us. We say no to those addresses at intake, plainly, rather than halfway through a schedule. Chantilly is well outside that line and is standard SFRA work.
Is thermal inspection worth it on data centers and industrial buildings specifically?
That is the stock it suits best. Cooling towers, heat-rejection equipment, switchgear, and large low-slope roofs all fail in ways that show up first as temperature: fouled fill, blocked airflow, a connection running warm, moisture under membrane that looks intact from a ladder. Radiometric thermal sensitivity resolves those as measured ΔT signatures, and the report ranks them so your team knows what to open first.
Who acts on what you find, and do you publish anything about us?
Your own contractors and maintenance team act on it. Jinki inspects only and performs no remediation, so the report carries no conflict of interest and every finding arrives with the image pair and measurement attached. You get a mutual NDA by default, and we do not publish client sites, tenant names, or findings.
