COLLINSVILLE (March 19, 2025)- Advancements in technology play a key role in our commitment at Oates Associates to continually build upon our capabilities to better serve clients. As we expand our drone surveying and data collection services, growing our team of licensed pilots maximizes the benefits of this technology for increased efficiency. With this in mind, we are proud to announce that Colton DeLong, EI, SI has earned his Remote Pilot Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration.
