INFRASTRUCTURE & ASSET MANAGEMENT

One of the most cost effective and rapidly growing applications for drones throughout the country is for asset inspection services.  Early detection of any issues is crucial for protecting infrastructure and company assets that are for example ageing or have recently been exposed to severe weather.  Asset inspections and structural surveys can often be time consuming and expensive.  As many of these inspections include elements involving height that also adds a significant health and safety challenge.

Over the last few years, with more qualified operators and improving technology aimed at this specific application, drones (or UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)) have become significantly safer and more efficient for maintaining both large and small infrastructure.  An experienced and qualified operator can assess the condition of the subject through a live high definition feed from the UAV that can be monitored by client in real time or via still images taken during flight.  The most advanced drones that we have in our fleet that are used for our asset inspections use global position assisted navigation and collision avoidance technology which make them not only safer, but less time consuming and labour intensive making them a real alternative to traditional methods.

Infrastructure and asset inspections using drones can create valuable insight into areas such as degradation of plant and equipment, scheduled or unscheduled maintenance and crop health or viability.  Due to the non invasive aspect of drone inspections we are able to provide our clients with cost effective, efficient and thorough inspections and reports with minimal or no shut down time being required.  In some cases it is even possible for the inspection to be performed without access to the site being required.

 

Along with our experience and expertise, our investment in the latest range of industrial drones and camera equipment is the key to providing our clients with a professional, cost effective and efficient job. 

Before commencing any job, we will always complete a thorough scoping exercise and provide a full risk assessment of the asset or subject to be inspected and provide a comprehensive planning process to ensure the job is executed efficiently on the day.
