For industry
Industrial drone inspections: see what you are sending people up at height for.
A lift just to take a look costs a day and money, and often ends with the sentence "we should have gone up somewhere else". Material from the air narrows the area before the crew sets off, and it does so without shutting down production, without scaffolding and without sending anyone onto the roof.
Scope
What we document on the plant site.
Roof, façade, flashings
The roof covering, skylights, gutters and parapets, including visible leaks and damage. An index of observations with locations and a priority for further inspection.
Scope for roofs and PVChimneys and tall structures
The surface, joints, ladders, platforms and fittings of chimneys and tall structures, viewed from a safe distance instead of from a rope.
Rooftop equipment and HVAC
Units, air intakes, exhausts, tanks, above-ground pipelines and process installations visible from above.
Full scope of facilitiesMasts, bridges, roads, railways
Documentation of telecommunications masts, bridge structures and sections of linear infrastructure within the operator's visual line of sight.
Damage documentation
The state of the building after a windstorm, hail, flooding or a failure, once the emergency services have finished. Input material for the insurer and the loss adjuster.
Thermal imaging of the plant's PV installation
A thermal camera survey of the rooftop installation in a weather window in which the method thresholds are met. When they are not, we document the same site in RGB.
Method conditionsWorking on an operating plant
An industrial site has its own rules.
Every visit to a plant is planned in advance: a plant is a zone with procedures, so we agree access, health and safety and flight geometry before the day of the flight.
- safety induction, NDA and entry rules settled before the date
- an agreed take-off area, flight corridor and procedure for aborting the mission
- restrictions on recording images wherever the confidentiality of the process requires it
- we plan flights away from people at work; if a pass is needed we change the geometry or the date
- coordination with plant traffic if the mission touches internal roads
Formal requirements enter the quote before the flight, we do not add them afterwards. If access turns out to be impossible, we say so at the feasibility review stage.
The boundary of responsibility
Material your maintenance team or roofer starts from.
You receive
- ordered RGB material with the location of every observation
- a priority for further verification instead of a list of everything at once
- a mission log, a record of the conditions and the stated limits of the method
- a baseline for comparison at the next flight
Who signs a formal document
- structural, building and fire safety expert opinions: a licensed expert
- a chimney sweep's opinion and an inspection of the electrical installation: a master chimney sweep and a licensed electrician
- a ruling on the cause of a failure and a valuation of the damage: an expert or a loss adjuster
- an as-built inventory and any survey product: a licensed land surveyor
The starting point for a standalone assignment: from 2,200 PLN net, quoted by scope. A portfolio of buildings and a survey cycle are quoted separately, because there the cost of the mission is spread across several addresses.
