DRONE SERVICES
INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL
Drones provide rapid access and visibility to places that are difficult and often dangerous for people to go.
Below are some of the common applications for drones that are used for Industrial and Commercial work.
ROOF INSPECTIONS
According to the CDC the leading cause of construction deaths are falls. More than 150,000 other Americans every year require medical treatment due to roofing-related injuries.
Drones remove all unnecessary human risk and can examine multiple properties before an inspector can set up their ladder and complete just one. Best of all there's no need for inspectors to be onsite and they can review the imaging data at their convenience from wherever they have an internet connection.
SOLAR INSPECTIONS
The use of thermal imaging drones provides temperature information for various industrial and commercial applications as well and residential and agricultural.
A common use case for thermal cameras is to identify hotspots on solar panels which are caused by dead PV cells. These dead cells can be caused by many different factors but the end result is always is degraded energy production. Regular inspection and identification of problematic panels ensures that solar arrays are always running at peak performance, and thermal drones make short work of these inspections.
UTILITY INSPECTIONS
Whether it's an antenna, electrical line or telephone pole; getting human eyes close enough to inspect them is dangerous and time consuming.
A drone can be up in the air in minutes and provide eyes-on just as quickly providing you with all of the information you need to make the necessary decisions. All without any risk to human life and for a fraction of the cost.
HIGH RES MAPPING
Think "Google Maps" but better! By flying a grid pattern over a defined area and taking hundreds of individual images; specialized software stitches them together into one large high-resolution map. The flight paths are repeatable so if updated maps are needed they can be readily produced.
That provides everyone from a property manager to a construction foreman a birds-eye view of a section of land, but also allows you to zoom in with enough detail to count the number of rocks on the ground.
