AERIAL INSPECTIONS
SERVICES FOR DRONE INSPECTIONS
Drone inspections are a great alternative in sectors where routine equipment, structural, and site inspections are required for safety and regulatory compliance but accessibility and safety are issues. With the help of our group of skilled, certified pilots, we are able to offer you drone inspections that increase worksite security without compromising the level of care required to maintain structures and equipment.
DRONES BEING USED TO INSPECT INDUSTRY
Almost all businesses require visual inspections, from the tops of cell phone towers to commercial HVAC equipment. To keep everything in perfect functioning order, you need an experienced, qualified inspector with a keen eye for detail and the knowledge to recognize any issues. Additionally, it aids in avoiding mishaps and calamities brought on by outdated or broken equipment.
Inspections are frequently required for hazardous or challenging locations, such as within boilers or underneath and on top of bridges, and these inspections call for specialized safety equipment and a crew on hand in case of an accident. We can send a drone to receive clear 360-degree assessments remotely instead of dealing with the difficulties of a personal inspection, and then focus on finer inspections when necessary. (for example, around the outside of a support beam or cement pour to check for movement, cracks, or other problems). The obtained data can then be thoroughly examined by an inspector.
WHY DRONE INSPECTION IS A GOOD OPTION FOR YOUR PROJECTS
REDUCING COST
Drone inspection is more economical than deploying ground personnel or conventional aviation techniques like helicopter land surveys. Reducing the utilization of expensive equipment (such as investing hours and thousands of dollars in labor costs to construct superfluous scaffolding) can save tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars annually because the vast majority of inspections are completed without the need for additional action. Additionally, reducing the amount of time spent working in hazardous situations can lower liability insurance costs.
Consider the expenses of downtime associated with needing to shut down certain equipment prior to an inspection, in addition to the outgoing costs of staff and equipment for safety, scaffolding, and insurance. By using a drone, the inspection can be finished more rapidly, cutting down on downtime and associated costs.
PROJECT LIFECYCLE ACCELERATED
Drone aerial imagery enables projects to stay on schedule and within budget throughout the full project lifecycle, from requirements through sign-off. Drone inspections not only reveal problems before they pose risks or cause delays, but they also make the project's compliance paperwork and reporting processes simpler.
Drones are a useful tool in the toolbox of a civil construction professional when employed for inspections. Using drones for industrial inspection reduces costs, safeguards workers, and expedites the safe completion of projects.
SAFETY
The main justification is safety. In order to do a step-by-step visual inspection, inspectors frequently have to climb hundreds of feet in the air where a fall might be lethal or contend with dangerous situations in small places. By remotely accessing challenging regions and inspecting the integrity of the structure itself, a drone lowers this risk. Inspectors can assess whether it is safe to climb or whether more equipment is required if repairs or physical maintenance are required.
MUCH BETTER DOCUMENTATION
Drone footage reveals alterations in a building or piece of machinery over time. For instance, past and present data can be compared to see if a worry has changed or developed over time, such as a cement crack that doesn't require immediate repair but still needs to be monitored. This can reduce culpability in the event of an incident involving a piece of machinery or other item that had previously undergone inspection.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS AND MORE
Not everything can be visually inspected. Drone imaging's thermal, multispectral, and topographical views serve a number of sophisticated inspection jobs. Thermal imaging cameras on drones can spot temperature variations that might be signs of surface deterioration, fissures, or other problems.
AERIAL INSPECTIONS ARE USED BY INDUSTRIES
Drones are being used more and more in industries with challenging-to-reach inspection sites. The following sectors are where we mostly observe drone inspections:
CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES
AGRICULTURE
INFRASTRUCTURE
UTILITIES & POWER COMPANIES
MINING
