Drone inspections and Applications:

1. Structural Inspections:
Bridges, buildings, towers, and other infrastructure.
Identify cracks, corrosion, and other signs of wear.


2. Energy Sector:
Wind turbines: Check blades for damage or wear.
Solar panels: Assess cleanliness, damage, or energy inefficiencies.
Oil & Gas: Inspect offshore rigs, flare stacks, and pipelines.


3. Industrial Facilities:
Chimneys, cooling towers, tanks, and confined spaces.
Monitor equipment for maintenance needs or hazards.


4. Utilities:
Power lines and substations.
Identify vegetation encroachment or damaged components.

5. Residential properties:
Roof and facade inspections can highlight defects without the need to cause disruption to the client. 




Advantages:
Safety: Reduces risks by keeping inspectors out of hazardous areas.
Speed: Quicker deployment compared to traditional methods.
Cost-Effective: Eliminates the need for scaffolding, rope access, or helicopters.
Data Quality: High-resolution imagery, thermal imaging, and LiDAR data provide detailed insights.
Non invasive surveying/inspectons 

Integration with Rope Access:
In some cases, drones can complement rope access teams by performing preliminary inspections to locate issues. Rope access technicians can then focus on specific areas, improving overall efficiency.
