ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) announced that its Drone as a Service (“DaaS”) Mid-Atlantic region locations have secured three new construction survey contracts supporting government transportation infrastructure projects. The awards bring the company’s current and recently completed transportation work in 2026 to eight projects across three states, generating approximately $503,000 in contract revenue, according to the announcement.
The projects support federally and state-funded transportation construction programs valued at nearly $65 million, with the three new contracts associated with approximately $13.2 million in construction activity. That ratio matters: the revenue ZenaTech books is small relative to the total construction value, but it reflects the company’s role in the early, data-intensive stages of infrastructure work, where surveying and progress monitoring can influence timelines and costs.
ZenaTech plans to integrate drone mapping, construction progress monitoring and AI-powered data processing into its transportation surveying operations where project specifications permit. The company’s DaaS platform combines licensed surveying expertise with drone-based data collection and centralized processing to support infrastructure projects while potentially improving efficiency and reducing survey crew exposure to active traffic. For readers and industry observers, the safety angle is as significant as the efficiency claim, because surveying on live roadways carries inherent risk.
The company continues expanding its DaaS network through acquisitions of established service businesses, with a focus on recurring revenue, geographic expansion and broader adoption of its drone technologies. That acquisition-led roll-up strategy is central to how ZenaTech aims to digitize and automate legacy service industries such as land surveys and inspections. For investors, the new contracts offer a concrete data point on how that strategy is translating into project wins, even as the company operates across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.
ZenaTech’s broader business includes drone manufacturing through ZenaDrone, a global DaaS business and an enterprise SaaS division of software brands. The company is also investing in next-generation technologies, including drone swarms, quantum computing and advanced AI autonomy, through its research and development initiatives. The transportation survey contracts announced this week sit at the more established end of that portfolio, but they illustrate the commercial path the company is pursuing: licensed services, drone-collected data and centralized processing sold into government-funded infrastructure programs.

The immediate takeaway is that ZenaTech is building a book of transportation survey work tied to public infrastructure spending, with eight projects across three states and roughly $503,000 in 2026 revenue. Whether that book grows depends on the company’s ability to convert its acquisition-led DaaS model into repeatable government contracts, a metric worth watching as more project awards are disclosed.
