Why drone inspections beat traditional inspection methods

Regardless of what industry you’re in, there’s a good chance that a visual inspection is a necessary, regular and sometimes even regulatory part of your project scope.

When we think about a visual inspection in a traditional sense, it usually involves sending trained personnel out into the field to capture site details, confirm safety requirements, analyze equipment and assets and to track progress.

Whether this work is done in-house by your own team members or it's sub-contracted out, sending personnel out into the field to complete these necessary inspections can be costly, time-consuming and sometimes, even dangerous.

So what if we told you there was a way to decrease costs, increase efficiency and improve safety? You’d probably be all ears, right?

Fortunately, there is a solution that checks off all the boxes - hiring a certified drone inspector.

Using drones for inspection work

Commercial drones equipped with high resolution cameras, thermal sensors, LiDar and other remote-sensing technology are quickly becoming the preferred way of performing key site and asset inspections. From heavy civil construction projects, to infrastructure management, to agricultural crop analysis — and everything in between — a drone inspection can help give you quick, cost-effective insights to help you make the best-informed decisions for your projects and assets.
