Drones: the new frontier of aerial inspections
Aerial drone inspections are becoming increasingly common in several industrial sectors, including agriculture, construction, energy, environment, public safety. Thanks to their ability to fly in narrow and difficult spaces to achieve, drones are revolutionizing the way companies conduct their inspection, maintenance and monitoring activities by providing a means cheap and safe for inspection in a wide variety of missions without endangering human lives.
Aerial inspections with a drone are a complex activity and often have very little margin for error, so it is essential to rely on serious professionals with the right skills in order to get the job done. Imagine having to inspect a bridge in a narrow Alpine valley, perhaps on a day with difficult weather, with a bit of wind…would you entrust this task to the first person to come?
With a professional operator, you areassuredof quick and detailed aerial inspections, which will allow you to identify any problems in a timely manner and resolve them before accidents or failures occur. An aerial inspection with a drone is also much cheaper than the use of other aerial means, typically helicopters, and can be carried out in a faster and more efficient, allowing companies to save on operating costs.
Efficiency, economy and safety: the advantages of aerial inspections with a drone
An aerial inspection with a drone is also immensely more efficient and economical than renting “land” equipment such as scaffolding or aerial platforms, especially if there is a need to operate at great heights.
It is essential that all this is managed by qualified operators, who are familiar with local regulations and safety procedures. With Discoverthesky on this point you can be more than sure, the pilots are in possession of the highest qualifications required for flying with drones, allowing the use of the drone even in critical or complex scenarios with maximum tranquility.
Think, for example, of inspections in urban areas, or perhaps in areas where drones are prohibited from flying. Only a professional knows how to act and what permissions to request (and above all from whom) in order to complete the work, an aspect that is too often underestimated which then inevitably translates into waste of time and money for the customer.
Aerial drone inspections are useful in a wide variety of fields
Building
Aerial drone inspections are very useful in construction and building maintenance, as drones can fly in hard-to-reach areas and provide detailed images of the building, roofing, facade and external parts. This allows construction professionals to easily identify problems and areas that need repairs or maintenance.
Environment and territory
Drones can also be used for the creation of 3D maps and digital models of the territory. This allows you to obtain detailed information on terrain characteristics and topography, useful for urban planning, the design of roads, bridges and dams, landslide and flood risk management, and monitoring natural disasters. They can also monitor archaeological sites, mines, authorized and illegal landfills, etc.
Agriculture
In agriculture, aerial drone inspections can be used for inspecting fields, mapping crops, assessing plant health, detecting diseases and infestations, and measuring the amount of water used. This can help farmers optimize crop management and improve productivity.
Energy
In the energy sector, drones can be used to inspect wind turbines, solar panels, power lines and gas pipelines. This allows you to easily identify problems and areas that need repairs, without the need to stop production.
Infrastructure
Drones can be used for inspection of transportation infrastructure, such as highways, bridges and railways. This allows you to easily identify areas that need repairs or maintenance, without interrupting traffic.
For each of these fields there is the best drone, which only a professional will be able to recommend, making you evaluate costs and benefits. Making the wrong choice of drone it can be very expensive, which is why we at Discoverthesky provide consultancy to identify the best solution for you and your needs.
