Asset Inspections
Our pilots have vast experience in Asset Inspection, fault and defect identification.
By utilising the correct platform and sensor we safely and efficiently inspect any asset without the need for costly scaffolding or Elevated Work Platforms. With less manpower and hours needed than the standard rope access. We can quickly identify and highlight any areas for concern.
With cameras now capable of upto 200x zoom stand off distances from the asset can now be increased even further to mitigate the risks even more without losing resolution or details. We can display live inspection data on external monitors for client monitoring or stream the data back to your main offices for detailed analysis.

Why use a drone for your inspection
Asset inspections are an essential part of many industries, including oil and gas, utilities, construction, and infrastructure. Traditionally, asset inspections have been carried out using ground-based methods, such as visual inspections and manual measurements. However, the use of drones for asset inspections has become increasingly popular in recent years, offering several advantages over traditional methods:
Increased Safety
Using drones for asset inspections can significantly increase safety by reducing the need for workers to physically access potentially hazardous or hard-to-reach areas. This can include inspecting tall structures such as wind turbines, oil rigs, or communication towers, where traditional inspections would require the use of safety equipment and climbing equipment.
Improved Efficiency
Drones can inspect assets much faster than traditional methods, saving time and increasing efficiency. With a drone, an inspector can cover large areas in a short amount of time, reducing the time needed for inspection, and enabling more frequent inspections.
High-Quality Data Collection
Drones can capture high-quality images and video that provide a detailed view of the asset being inspected. This level of detail can be used to identify potential issues such as cracks, leaks, or other defects that may not be visible from the ground.
Cost-Effective
Using drones for asset inspections can be more cost-effective than traditional inspection methods. Drones require less manpower and equipment, and inspections can be completed faster, resulting in cost savings for the company.
Real-Time Data
Drones can provide real-time data during the inspection, allowing inspectors to quickly identify issues and make informed decisions. This can lead to faster repairs or maintenance, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
Access to Difficult Areas
Drones can access difficult-to-reach areas such as rooftops, towers, and pipelines, where traditional inspection methods would be impractical or impossible. This can provide a more comprehensive view of the asset being inspected, leading to more accurate assessments of the asset's condition.
