Industrial Drone Inspection

Inspect the hard-to-reach — no scaffolding, no shutdowns

Inspecting a stack, tank, or tower facade the traditional way means scaffolding, cranes, and workers on ropes — high cost, higher risk, and sometimes a full shutdown. Drones change the equation: rapid access to any point, detailed high-resolution imagery, and total safety for your team.

Our crew is OSHA safety-trained and certified to operate, and includes civil engineers who know what an inspector looks for. Combined with our computer vision models, inspection becomes automated and repeatable — every defect classified and located on the structure.

Industrial Drone Inspection

Use cases

Tanks & stacks

Complete external inspection of elevated structures with no shutdown or climbing.

Building & tower facades

Documenting facade condition and detecting cracks and leaks in high detail.

Roofs & superstructures

Fast, safe inspection of large roofs, canopies, and steel structures.

Solar & utilities

Scanning solar arrays and utility lines to find faults and degradation.

How we work

  1. 1

    Inspection scope

    We define assets, critical components, and acceptance criteria with your technical team.

  2. 2

    Safe flight plan

    Planned paths around the structure capturing every angle under safety requirements.

  3. 3

    Detailed capture

    High-resolution imagery of every component, with close-ups of suspect areas.

  4. 4

    Inspection report

    An illustrated report classifying findings by severity and location on the structure.

What you receive

  • High-resolution inspection imagery per component
  • A findings report classified by severity and location
  • Comparison against previous inspections where available
  • AI-powered automated defect detection (optional)

Common questions

Does drone inspection replace manual inspection?

It shrinks it dramatically — the drone covers the entire structure and flags suspect areas, so rope or scaffold access is only needed where direct contact testing is required.

Can you operate inside restricted industrial facilities?

Yes — our crew is OSHA-trained for industrial sites and we comply with your facility's permit-to-work procedures.

How long does a typical inspection take?

Field capture is usually a day or less per structure, with the report within days — versus weeks for scaffolding and traditional inspection.
