Benefits of Drone Asset Inspections
Drones are the ideal system for inspecting critical assets and capturing the data your team needs.
Whether you are planning a project, assessing damage or preparing a maintenance schedule, drones deliver several unique benefits:
- Cost-effective. Drone asset inspections save significant amounts of time, labour and money, without sacrificing on the quality of data.
- Rapid turnaround. Drones can perform asset inspections in a fraction of the time. Drones only need a few moments to capture data that would take hours to collect by hand.
- Accuracy. Modern drone platforms deliver millimetre-accuracy. Depending on the application, we can provide data with tight tolerances that is ideal for engineering applications.
- Improved safety. Drones allow inspectors to keep their feet firmly on the ground. This reduces the risk that comes with working at heights, and it means we can safely inspect assets in remote, dangerous or inaccessible locations.
- Advanced sensors. In addition to camera, LiDAR and GPS payloads, drones can be equipped with advanced sensors such as thermal imaging and multispectral cameras. These sensors are able to capture data and detect invisible leaks and defects.
- Ongoing monitoring. The 3D models created during drone asset inspections are ideal for ongoing asset monitoring. This is useful for monitoring deformation, maintenance and general asset management.
Our drone operators offer tailored services that provide detailed information for every project.
Depending on your needs, we can design inspections that provide 3D models, thermal results, images, videos and data that can be transformed into powerful insights. Or, if you work across other industries such as agriculture, our crop spraying drones are a great way to reduce costs and improve yields.
