New Castle, DE

Dronegenuity’s drone photography provides a clear, detailed look at the New Castle, DE – Capping Project, an important environmental cleanup effort tied to the area's industrial past. Located along the Delaware River, New Castle has a long history of shipping and chemical manufacturing, which over time led to contamination in nearby wetlands. This project is part of a broader plan to restore the area and prevent further pollution.

The aerial images show the active capping process in progress. A barge-mounted excavator sprays a mixture of clean material over the water to cover and contain polluted sediments. Each photo captures different stages of the work, showing how crews are carefully managing the wetlands without causing additional disruption.

Other images highlight the construction of containment cells, where dredged material is stored. These areas are lined and filled in a controlled way, showing the organized structure of the site compared to the surrounding natural landscape.

Together, the drone photos document how New Castle is addressing past environmental damage. They offer a visual record of the progress being made to protect local ecosystems and improve water quality in the Delaware Estuary.
