Specialising in both Aerial & Underwater inspections of assets using state of the art technology to support clients with benchmarking the condition and integrity of their assets, often without need for a client’s operations or asset to be isolated or shut down.The use of Underwater & Aerial drones positively changes the traditional inspection activity “risk“ profile as no longer is the need to place a human in a potential hazardous situation, therefore the “risk” profile and associated risk management plan to a person and or activity significantly changes.The use of unmanned vehicles in both Aerial and Underwater environments means the clients risk control measure for that inspection task significantly improves safety by avoiding or limiting working at heights, traditional rope access or ladders, elevated work platforms, scaffold, deploying divers and rescue boats for example.Our drones utilise industry leading resolution with live streaming capabilities along with advanced software and collision avoidance which allows us to hover within a close predetermined safe desistance from client assets, providing the best possible vantage point from any angle and capturing details such as OEM/ makers information, serial numbers, corrosion condition, defects, individual bolts, detailed component plotting and condition.Through our live video feed, our clients are able to see exactly what we are capturing. The client supported by our technical industry expert can also review the imagery on a laptop after landing to ensure we have captured everything as per the scope of work before leaving the work site.Our images and data form an important record and auditable trail of the structure’s lifecycle condition over and at a measurable point in time. All our pilots are highly experienced in our field along with being certified & insured.Contact us on:
