Smarter Inspections

When you think of an inspection, what do you see? An individual either working at heights or in confined spaces? Which involves high risks, special training, expensive equipment and safety compliance nightmare.

Productive is low, and costs are high. Increasing the likelihood of assets to breakdown and cease production!

The quality of the inspection can be poor due to the inability to safely move around an asset freely.

Overall the ‘old school’ way of inspections are either time consuming and/or costly!

Drone Inspection Methods

  • Drone inspection of solar panel farm in Shepperton

    Visual (RGB)

    Commonly known as “images or photos”. Our drones can perform visual inspections, producing RGB images that our human eye sees every day. Suited for general inspections applications.

  • Drone thermal imaging inspection of solar panel farm in Shepperton

    Thermal Imaging (IR)

    The science of infrared radiation is light we can’t see. It offers valuable information that you can’t see without the correct use of specialized equipment. Suited to, electrical & mechanical inspections.

Quality Inspections

Collecting data that matters. Means the difference between claiming insurance payouts or having inadmissible evidence in court.

Drones give us the ability to effectively and efficiency acquire data. Furthermore advanced software can construct a realistic ‘digital twin’, enabling more user friendly management tools!

We provide both visual inspections, software platforms and thermal imaging.

Drone Roof Inspection

Roof inspections can be extremely dangerous, especially for commercial buildings. Our solution is a drone roof inspection, where our drone simply flies over the roof and takes a quality images. This allows for an easy, quick and inexpensive way for residential and commercial buildings to inspect their roofs.

Drone Building Inspection

Building and facade inspections are very time consuming and risky to perform. Our solution is using a drone to perform a visual and thermal inspection of the building surface by taking multiple quality images. Covering large buildings effortlessly and high to reach places in a cost-effective manner. To discover leaks, poor workmanship, material defects and cracks.

Drone Solar Panel Inspection

Solar Farms and/or Solar Panels installed on roofs are often dangerous and take a great deal of man hours to inspect. Our solution is we fly our drones over your PV panels to capture both RGB and Infrared (IR) images to identity any hotspots, bird droppings, damaged and offline panels. That will be negatively affect your power generation (kWh) from the sun, costing you money.

Drone Wind Turbine Inspection.

Wind Turbines are often inspected by individuals abseiling down the huge blades and structure, but this is extremely dangerous and sometimes impossible. Our solution is using commercial grade drones to give a close-up aerial inspect of the exterior efficiently and effectively with specialized equipment we can maintain safe distance from the structure. Capturing any surface defects that could result in downtime or catastrophic failure.

Drone Dam Inspection.

Drone dam inspections is a revolutionary idea that can save lives by providing objective and cost-effective inspections of embankment dams. The inspection drone uses visual and thermal imaging to map out the structure of the dam, detect flaws and leaks in its foundation. Inspecting dams is a crucial step in ensuring their longevity and safety.
