Big Tujunga Dam in Los Angeles, CA - Aerial Photo


In the San Gabriel Mountains above the city of LA lies the Big Tujunga Dam.

Vortex Aerial was called out to provide ongoing visual documentation of the seismic retrofitting being installed so that the reservoir can again run at full capacity. This is a crucial structure that regulates most of the ground water supply for the city and surrounding county. We flew our autonomous photo rig from the rim and hovered out over the spillway to capture the ongoing action at 200 feet above the take off zone and over 500 feet above the spillway floor.
