More cost-efficient and with minimal interference.
Our drone services are the ideal tool to get detailed reports on the condition of your roof. This way you can ensure that all future repair work is carried out in a cost and time efficient manner. Drone surveys don’t require anyone to physically access your roof. This allows for safer and faster data collection without causing damage. Pinpoint analysis of the entire roof allows tradespeople to only access areas that are necessary, drastically reducing safety concerns, future maintenance and budget costs.
With a drone building inspection, you can address these concerns while greatly reducing planning and turnaround time. By eliminating the need for scaffolding and rope access, the process is significantly streamlined. It allows you to safely, cost-effectively and quickly inspect and survey your property from unique angles. We give you a detailed overview of the condition of your property.
Using ultra-high-definition cameras and zoom lenses we can pinpoint areas that are suffering from decay, cracks, erosion, corrosion and other damage. Enjoy peace of mind in knowing that issues that are causing, and have the potential to cause, serious problems will be found quickly and efficiently.
The use of drone 3D modelling technologies gives you the opportunity to inspect a digital twin of a bridge from the comfort of your office. This detailed replica can be inspected at a minute level, allowing you to make a record of any areas that are in need of attention. Issues such as poorly executed repairs, general damage and other potential weaknesses can be shared with your employees, suppliers and other shareholders at the click of a button.
Deploying drones using thermal imagery cameras allows you to instantly see areas affected by delamination on the bridge’s deck. Traditional methods, such as the chain drag test, are labour intensive and open for miscalculations. With the faster and more accurate results offered by thermal imagery, these methods are also becoming outdated.
Drones equipped with LIDAR technology produce high-resolution 3D models and maps of your bridge. LIDAR deliverables allow you to remotely inspect bridge forensics and assessments at the highest level of detail.
The use of specialist impact-resistance technology deployed with our drones allows us to access areas that are otherwise too hazardous or difficult to reach. Get instant data from confined spaces without the time-consuming, labour-intensive and costly methods of the past, and with zero risk to personnel.
Why Use A Drone For Roof Inspections?
No scaffolding or ropes
Drone technology is cheaper, safer and more reliable than traditional methods such as scaffolding, cherry-pickers and ropes. It's also quicker and less labour intensive. We will bring everything we need and be out of your way that same day.
Detect hidden problems
We use cutting-edge technologies to detect problems that would otherwise be invisible. These include ultra-HD photography/video, LIDAR and thermal.
No traffic disruption
Downtime is expensive, unpopular and inconvenient. Using a drone, we can conduct a thorough survey with little to no downtime.
Safety
The safety of your personnel and our own is paramount, and we place it at the forefront of our company culture. Ask us about our OSH systems and practices.
No risk to your assets
Our equipment won't touch or even go close to your assets. Our high-resolution cameras use optical zoom to give extreme close-up views while staying a safe distance away.
Rapid response
Need us there in a hurry? No problem. Let us know what you need, and we can be there on the same day. After all, sometimes the problem just won't wait.
How Does It Work?
1. Reach out and tell us your idea
We take emails, phone calls, messages, everything! If you are unsure of what’s possible we are happy to advise, the most important thing is to get in touch. We would be delighted to answer any questions you may have.
2. Start at the end
With drones, it’s best to begin where you want to end up. What sort of deliverable would you like when it’s all finished? If you are not sure then we can advise. We can look at what you would like and work backwards from there.
3. Scope of work and set a price
Once we have agreed on what is to be done, the scope of work is set and a price is agreed upon. We feel it is vital that everyone knows what they are getting and what they are paying for it. There should be no confusion.
4. Permits and other paperwork
Once we have confirmation you are happy to proceed, we start the ball rolling. We organise things like RAMS, site permits, Air Traffic Control clearance and much more. Basically, we generate everything needed to turn up on-site with all our ducks in a row
5. Field Operations
Next, we do the work on site. We have the gear, we have the know-how, so now it’s time to get the job done. This can sometimes be affected by the weather, but for the most part, we get the job done on the date specified.
6. Post Processing
This is where we take what we generated in the field and turn it into a final deliverable for you. This can be anything from the raw data itself, to fully processed orthophotos, condition reports, CAD line work or thermal imagery.
7. Handover
The final step is the handover of the deliverables. We tend to use a cloud-based service, so you can access your data anywhere. We can also tie into your existing systems if that is more convenient.
