Industrial Inspections
The use of drones allows us to perform multiple inspection tasks without putting the lives of operators at risk. We can reach places that are difficult to access in a fast and efficient way.
Drones facilitate inspection tasks, making these jobs faster, more precise and safer. Technical inspections with drones reduce costs and obtain better results. Doing these jobs with unmanned aircraft avoids putting workers at unnecessary risk and allows these inspections to be carried out more efficiently.
The use of the different sensors that our drones can carry allows us to know immediately the state of the infrastructures, making it easier for the technical team to make decisions.
We can perform various inspection tasks:
– Review external infrastructures: bridges, viaducts, dams.
– Interior and exterior inspection of roofs and ceilings.
– Inspection of pipes and tanks, detecting possible leaks through the use of thermal or high resolution cameras.
– Inspection of interior infrastructures: ditches, tunnels.
– Inspections of confined spaces.
– Exploration of places of difficult access: caves, precipices, etc.
– Measurement of emissions and structural control in chimneys.
The use of drones makes it possible to replace the costly helicopter flights and a large part of the work performed by operators at height, thus avoiding a greater number of personal risk situations.
We have high definition 8k cameras to capture in great detail the anomalies that can be found, thermographic cameras on board our latest generation drones and LiDAR technology.
We perform different types of inspections:
– Exhaustive inspections through the use of RGB and thermal photography allows us to detect defects and failures in the infrastructure.
– LiDAR inspections: which allows us to know the evolution of vegetation, measure critical distances, and make topographical surveys of the line.
line.
– Emergency inspections: We make a flight along a line, which allows us to know the reason and the exact location of the problem that has caused a failure. In this way we improve the response and solution times of the incidences.

Wind turbines
Wind turbine inspections using RPAs significantly improve on traditional methods. Our equipment is able to fly precisely and accurately along the blades of a turbine even in high wind gusts, eliminating the need to put people at risk.
We obtain very high resolution images or video ideal for identifying fissures, cracks or other indicators of structural stresses, increasing the efficiency of subsequent repairs and reducing downtime.
We also have equipment to perform interior inspection of the blades.
Through the use of drones we are able to:
– Reduce risks for operators,
– Reduce inspection times.
– Reduce costs.

Photovoltaic Plants
We perform a quick and easy thermographic inspection of the photovoltaic plant, without the need for supervision by the client or owner. We use geolocated programmed flights which allows us to have an automated, consistent and accurate inspection that can be repeated over time. Using thermal, multispectral and high resolution cameras, we detect potential defects such as snail trails, corrosion of connections and yellowing. Our inspections shorten the working time and minimize the downtime of these systems.
Topography
Drone surveying provides much more detailed, accurate and better quality digital terrain models than traditional surveying techniques.
In a much faster and safer way, drones are able to cover large areas of land in one day, thus achieving significant time and cost savings.
We use two technologies to achieve our objectives:
Photogrammetry: We use RPAs with RTK technology to create highly accurate point clouds and 3D models from aerial photographs. With this method we achieve optimal results in very short periods of time.
LiDAR: is a system based on the measurement of laser distances and intensity, collected in flight following passes. It is assisted by a GPS system and an inertial system to determine the position and orientation of the sensor along its trajectory.
By using this equipment we are able to perform extensive topographic surveys in record time.
Our systems have RGB cameras that allow us to obtain a cloud of points colored with the textures of the environment they analyze. The use of these technologies allows us to obtain
– Cost reduction.
– Reduction of delivery times.
– High density point clouds.
– Centimeter accuracy.
– Risk reduction.
