Drone Inspection Services
Industrial inspections are vital to keeping equipment in top condition and providing real-time awareness of your operations. However, when you’re working with large infrastructure or machines across broad areas, these inspections can lead to long interruptions and expensive labor costs.
The use of drones for industrial inspections speeds up the process and decreases the associated expenses. Drones fly through the air, navigating in and around buildings, bridges, and tanks. They’re able to cover tall, large or remote areas. They capture images and videos that professionals use to identify issues needing repairs or maintenance.
At Acuren, we utilize remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) to support our clients’ needs. We combine expertise and technology in our approach, providing internal and external inspections that deliver unmatched value. We have the know-how and resources to deliver cutting-edge services your organization can depend on for years to come.
The Value of Drone Inspection Services
Drones act as inspectors’ eyes, allowing them to efficiently examine isolated areas and collect a wide range of data. Their cameras can collect a substantial volume of videos and pictures of radio towers, large water tanks, expansive fields, and hard-to-reach roofs. These visuals are vital to inform planning, maintenance, and compliance strategies. Drone inspections are efficient and affordable, allowing you to increase the number of inspections you perform throughout the year.
Aerial inspection drones offer additional advantages beyond lowering costs and keeping your operations on track. Drones create a safer and more secure inspection process that avoids putting your employees or contractors in potentially dangerous situations. Trained professionals remotely operate the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and eliminate the need for expensive temporary support structures like scaffolding.
What Industries Utilize Drone Inspection Services?
More sectors than ever are using drones within industrial inspection applications to save time and money. These tools can monitor crop health, verify the strength of a weld, locate cracks in pipes, and effectively scale bridges in record times. Aerial inspection drones can even enter high-risk or confined areas like destruction zones following a hurricane. They can reach underground caverns utilized by mining companies.
Some of the industries that take advantage of drone inspection services include:
- Aerospace
- Oil & Gas
- Mining
- Building & infrastructure
- Chemical
- Nuclear Power
- Tanks
- Rail
- Manufacturing
- Pulp & Paper
- Transmission Lines & Utilities
