Asset Inspection.

Revolutionising Asset Inspections: The Drone-First Approach.

Asset inspection is being transformed by our advanced UAV technology. Our drones capture high-resolution imagery and videography of your assets, with all data securely stored in our online portal. This visual information can then be converted into detailed asset management reports.We are setting new standards for asset inspection, with our drone services providing greater access, precision and efficiencies to our clients than ever before.

Still Imagery

Our drone inspection services provide high-resolution images of assets, in hard-to-reach areas where data quality would be compromised with traditional inspection methods.
We follow a structured data-capture method ensuring no blind spots are created and problem areas are sufficiently inspected from a variety of angles and distances, with the data gathered being geo-referenced to allow issues to be pinpointed for further inspection. This non-invasive method accelerates asset inspection and repair time while improving the quality and precision of data.

Videography

We capture comprehensive 4K views of assets with our UAV videography. Easily explore condition in real-time motion, gaining a birds-eye view of assets, while identifying and focusing on areas of interest. This digitalised data can be easily shared with stakeholders to demonstrate defects and justify future repair works.
Compare before-and-after drone footage to verify repair quality and create a permanent digital record of completed works. This visual documentation ensures accountability and provides irrefutable evidence of your maintenance standards.

Reports

Turn visual data into actionable insights. Our visual inspection data is stored on a secure digital asset portal where detailed reports can be easily created.
Our advanced data allows for 1-5cm measurement accuracy, with information being geo-referenced to provide the exact location of areas of interest.
Our portal allows for remote analysis, where teams can highlight issues, add notes and decide severity ratings. This combination of visual and text data can be quickly converted into comprehensive reports.
These reports are easily stored and can be used across your organisation by a variety of stakeholders, including repair and maintenance teams, operations and management, creating workflow transparency and reducing the possibility of miscommunication. Data is also time-stamped allowing reports to be used as evidence in legal disputes.

Why we use the drone first approach?

Click to find out more

1. Access to hard-to-reach areas:

  • Inspect high-level assets without scaffolding or cherry pickers
  • Easily reach confined spaces or restricted access areas
  • Take a birds-eye view of previously out-of-sight areas
  • Navigate complex structures with ease

2. Improved safety:

  • Eliminate the need for working at height for initial inspections
  • Remove the risk associated with accessing hard-to-reach areas
  • Limit the personnel risk of inspections in poor conditions
  • Access potentially hazardous areas from a safe distance

3. Time efficiencies

  • Comprehensive asset inspections in hours, not days
  • Quick deployment and setup on site
  • Rapid data processing for faster decision-making
  • Swift access to data through our secure portal

4. Cost savings

  • Reduce the need for expensive access equipment hire such as scaffolding
  • Understand the scope and location of issues so only necessary equipment is hired
  • Limit the equipment hire period with access equipment only required when repairs works are planned, rather than spanning across the inspection and repairs works period
  • Reduce labour and time costs for repairs by having a clear understanding of the issues and resolutions prior to works beginning
  • Minimise the downtime of assets and/or disruption to occupants
  • Prevent costly repeat inspections through comprehensive data capture

5. Improved data quality:

  • Capture high-quality images of assets
  • Record precise, geo-referenced visual documentation
  • Enable centimetre-accurate measurements through our digital tools
  • Create detailed inspection reports for continued reference and future comparison

FAQs

Here's some quick answers to help you understand our asset inspections better.

What industries use drones for inspection purposes?

Our UAV inspection services are used across a variety of industries, including housing, energy, agriculture, maritime and more. We have extensive experience delivering high-precision data for a diverse range of use cases, and provide our clients with expert guidance to ensure they maximise the value of every dataset.

How long do drone inspections take?

Drone inspection times vary depending on the asset size and data requirements. However, compared to traditional inspection methods, drone surveys are drastically faster - reducing inspection times from days/weeks to hours while delivering more sophisticated digital reports.

How does your pricing work for drone inspections?

Our pricing varies depending on several factors, including the type of inspection, building size and type, location, airspace permissions, and how you'd like the data delivered. We typically operate on an ad hoc basis for one-off properties and offer pricing structures for scaled or ongoing projects. As a general guide, a drone inspection for a mid-sized building covering both roof and façade would typically fall between £400–£900.

If you're looking to inspect multiple properties in the same area, we can provide day rate pricing options. We’re always happy to work with you to maximise efficiency and value. Contact us to receive a quote.

What data capture solutions do we offer?

We provide a range of drone services from inspection data using high-resolution images and videography, to more advanced data types including thermal imaging, 3D mapping & modelling, LiDAR surveys and more. As a solutions-focused drone service provider, we work closely with you to understand your requirements and deliver the most effective data capture strategy for your needs.

Are the digital reports included in your service?

Yes, unlimited digital report generation is included. Our secure data portal allows you to create and customise reports whenever needed, helping you maximise the value of your inspection data.

What are the timescales for data delivery?

We strive to get the data we collect back to you as soon as we can. Timescales depend on the size and complexity of the project.
Our process includes collecting the data, taking it through a quality control stage to remove any identifying factors, and then uploading or sending the final output via your preferred data delivery method. We take data security and confidentiality seriously. All data handled follows strict data protection protocols, and any transfers are carried out using secure, encrypted channels.

For small-scale projects, we aim to return the data within a week. For larger-scale projects, delivery may take several weeks. If preferred, we can provide data in a staggered delivery format as it's processed.

Please note that if we're creating 3D models, this can take slightly longer due to the additional processing involved.
If your project is time-sensitive, let us know early on and we’ll do our best to accommodate your timeline or offer alternatives.

How do you ensure privacy during drone inspections?

We prioritise data protection through a comprehensive privacy protocol. All residents or stakeholders receive notification letters one week before scheduled flights, and our post-inspection process includes automatic face-blurring technology and data redaction of any sensitive information. All processed data is stored in our secure portal, accessible only to authorised personnel, ensuring both privacy compliance and inspection quality.
