Drone inspection makes it possible to access areas that may pose health, safety and environmental risks in a faster way without posing any health or safety risks.

Visual inspection by an unmanned drone is a quick and cost effective inspection method of critical areas on onshore and offshore constructions. Drone inspection enables access to otherwise inaccessible structures and details, offering immediate action as an alternative to more traditional, time consuming and costly inspection methods like sky-lifts, cherry pickers and scaffolding.

The use of drones for visual inspection provide benefit such as:

• Quick overview and evaluation of hard to reach areas
• Preventive maintenance planning and optimized production
• Access to areas that pose health, safety and environmental risk to humans
• High level of safety for personnel high quality images and video – sharp and detailed photographs of defects
• Quick on-site deployment of the drone inspection system
• Authorized and qualified UAV-inspection personnel

Reduced downtime
