Aerial inspection.
Close-range. High resolution. Safe.
UAV-based visual inspection of structures, buildings and infrastructure assets. Eliminating the need for scaffold and rope access while delivering engineering-quality imagery, defect mapping and condition reporting.
Structure inspection without the access barriers.
Aerial inspection uses professional UAV platforms to capture close-range, high-resolution imagery of structural surfaces, facades, roofs and elevated infrastructure. The result is a systematic visual record of the entire asset — captured safely from the air.
All inspection flights are conducted to a documented methodology with systematic overlap coverage, ensuring complete surface area is captured. Imagery is geotagged, stitched into orthomosaic condition maps and annotated with defect classifications directly referenced to the structure.
Aerial inspection is particularly effective for structures where access is costly, hazardous or disruptive — including operational bridges, tall structures, nuclear facilities and coastal assets exposed to the elements.
What we deliver.
Engineering-quality inspection data without the access, cost and disruption of traditional methods.
High-Resolution Visual Survey
Close-range inspection imagery at sub-5mm GSD. Captures surface cracking, spalling, corrosion, impact damage and joint deterioration at detail previously requiring rope access.
Defect Mapping & Classification
Defects identified, classified and georeferenced to the asset model. Condition reports include annotated images, defect dimensions and severity ratings to engineering standards.
Thermal Inspection
Thermographic UAV survey for moisture ingress detection, delamination identification and thermal bridging analysis on structures and buildings.
Structural Condition Reports
Engineering-format inspection reports with geolocated defect inventory, photographic evidence and maintenance recommendations. Suitable for structural health monitoring programmes.
Post-Event Inspection
Rapid post-incident inspection to assess structural damage following flood, impact, seismic event or extreme weather. Safe, rapid deployment with same-day reporting capability.
Monitoring & Repeat Survey
Systematic repeat inspection at defined intervals with comparison to baseline. Supports planned maintenance cycles and condition-based asset management programmes.
How we work.
A safe, structured inspection workflow from planning to condition report issue.
Inspection Planning
Flight methodology designed to achieve required coverage and resolution. Risk assessment and method statement prepared. Airspace, NOTAMs and site access confirmed.
Systematic Capture
Structured inspection flight with systematic image acquisition. Critical areas captured at multiple angles and resolutions. Field QA confirms full coverage before departure.
Processing & Analysis
Image mosaic construction, defect identification and classification. Defects georeferenced and catalogued with dimensional data and photographic evidence.
Inspection Report
Structured condition report with annotated imagery, defect log, severity assessment and maintenance recommendations. Delivered in PDF and GIS formats to specification.
