Operations
Condition surveys
Inspect structures and equipment without stopping operations: identify defects, deformation, corrosion, and damage — with detailed photo/video evidence.
We provide aerial inspection and monitoring services worldwide using UAVs: high-resolution zoom photo/video, thermal diagnostics, photogrammetry, and LiDAR. Delivering clear visual evidence and accurate measurements fast — with minimal downtime and zero risk to personnel — supporting operations, maintenance, construction, and contractor contr
UAVs make it safe to inspect hard-to-reach and hazardous areas, capture changes quickly, and produce orthomosaics, 3D models, and measurements — with minimal downtime and reduced human error.
What we can help with
UAV monitoring means fast capture of accurate data and clear documentation of an asset’s condition.
Construction
Progress control
Planned site monitoring: “before/after”, stage control, as-built documentation, volume checks, and verification of actual site conditions.
Engineering
Geodata and measurements
Orthomosaics, digital maps, 3D models, point clouds (LiDAR), and digital terrain/surface models — for design, maintenance, and reporting.
Why UAVs
- Safe: inspect hazardous/hard-to-reach areas without putting people at risk.
- Fast: cover large areas and long assets in a single flight mission.
- Accurate: high detail, georeferencing, and repeatable monitoring.
- Cost-effective: minimal downtime; often just 1–2 specialists are needed on site.
Assets and industries
We select the right capture method for your asset and objective — from buildings to linear infrastructure.
Industry and Oil & Gas
Infrastructure
Workshops, tanks, pipe racks, units, pipelines, roofs — photo/video + zoom, photogrammetry, LiDAR.
Energy
Power assets and transmission lines
Drone inspection: photo/video + zoom, photogrammetry and LiDAR for condition and geometry checks.
Other linear assets
Railways and roads
Corridor mapping and documentation: orthomosaics, 3D, change tracking, and a base layer for design.
Construction
Construction sites
Progress tracking, volume control, stage photo records, and “before/after” comparisons.
Mining
Pits and spoil heaps
Volume and change monitoring, slope/terrain assessment — LiDAR and/or photogrammetry.
Environment and land
Landfills and sites
Boundary and change control, documenting problem areas through photo/video and mapping outputs.
Types of UAV inspections
We choose the right technology for your goal: defects, thermal issues, geometry, mapping, 3D, and change control.
Visual inspection
Aerial imaging (photo/video + zoom)
We capture the required elements from multiple angles and document defects and deformation. Zoom helps to spot small damage.
3D and mapping
Photogrammetry
We produce orthomosaics and 2D/3D deliverables, and carry out measurements: areas, volumes, heights, and change dynamics.
Maximum geometric detail
Airborne LiDAR survey
We generate an accurate 3D digital twin of the asset and terrain as a point cloud. Ideal for complex geometry and long linear assets.
Survey technologies
We select the equipment and methodology to match the area, conditions, and deliverable requirements.
What you receive
The deliverable set depends on the ToR — we provide outputs that are easy for engineers and management to use.
UAV/p>
Photogrammetry + LiDAR
Primary area capture: photogrammetry delivers detailed orthomosaics, while LiDAR provides dense surface/terrain geometry. We choose a single method or a combined workflow to suit the task and site conditions.
MLS
Mobile laser scanning (MLS)
Ground-level detail for local areas: infrastructure, access roads, pads, tie-ins and zones where you need higher point density at object level.
How the work is delivered
From scoping to delivery of the report and files. Transparent, contract-based delivery.
1. Objective and scope (ToR)
We confirm the asset, objectives, monitoring frequency, and deliverable formats.
2. Planning
We agree capture areas, site requirements, and the payload configuration.
3. On-site capture
We fly the missions, capture the required areas, and verify data quality on site.
4. Processing and analysis
We generate orthomosaics/3D/point clouds and carry out annotation and analysis per the ToR.
5. Delivery
We deliver the report and files in agreed formats. Closing documents are provided under the contract.

What you receive
The deliverable set depends on the ToR — we provide outputs that are easy for engineers and management to use.
Media
Photo/video reporting
High-resolution imagery, close-ups (zoom), and marked-up problem areas by section/point.
Geodata
Maps and models
Orthomosaics (GeoTIFF), maps, 2D/3D models, DTM/DSM, point clouds (LAS/LAZ) — in the agreed format.
Documents
Sample final report
We agree the structure and format to suit your task (PDF/Word + appendices).
Final inspection report
Key findings
- 12 areas of concern identified, including 3 critical.
- Measurements completed (per ToR): distances, heights, clearances, volumes/surfaces.
- Materials prepared for period comparison: “before/after” and change tracking.
Register of identified issues (excerpt)
| ID | Section | Description | Priority | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P-03 | KM 2+740 | Deformation at the fastening assembly / inspection and repair required | Critical | Photo + zoom |
| P-07 | KM 6+120 | Clearance infringement / refine using point cloud and re-check | Critical | LiDAR |
| P-10 | KM 9+300 | Local defects in structural elements / planned repair | Medium | Photo + zoom |
Recommendations
- Prioritise remediation of P-03 / P-07 / P-11 (critical).
- Carry out planned repairs of assemblies in sections KM 3–5.
- Repeat control flight in 30 days (as per the monitoring schedule).

Timeframes and cost
These depend on the inspection type, asset scale, and processing requirements.
Timeframes
From 1–2 days to several weeks
Typical: mobilisation and on-site capture — from 1–2 days (or per the monitoring schedule); processing and reporting — from 1–2 days, longer for large assets and complex analytics.
Cost
Quoted on request, after scoping
Pricing depends on the capture method (visual/photogrammetry/LiDAR), area/length, accuracy and deliverable requirements, asset complexity, and logistics.
For a quotation, we typically need: asset type, region, inspection objective, desired outputs (report/orthomosaic/3D/point cloud), approximate area/length, and timeline.
