Why Use Us
We have many happy customers all over South Africa.
Working at height is sometimes a necessary requirement usually when remedial work is required. But to understand that there may well be an underlying fault or damage to a particular area requires first visual inspection. With further visits to assume required tools and equipment.
UAV inspection prior to any work could easily reduce fatality figures and the reduction in injury to personnel due to falls from height could also be significantly reduced resulting in financial gain for any of the companies concerned.
Another enormous incentive to utilizing our UAV (Drone) Inspection services to complement current inspection methods or even to completely replace it would be the enormous reduction in costs. We live in times of cost cutting and being able to use Drones will cut down on personnel costs and down time. This would have a positive impact on all industry and companies.
The cost differential is also beneficial to the company as they no longer need to hire a team of 3 rope access technicians, or erect a scaffold surrounding the offline asset.
Drone inspection doesn’t need to wait for site shutdown, asset shutdown, gas permits. Drone Inspections have no requirement to touch, climb, or put anybody in danger so the particular asset can remain live whilst the drone inspections are taking place.
All excessive costs are completely eliminated with any UAV inspections the combination of this cost efficiency and the reduction in safety concerns should be enough alone to encourage any company to adopt the technology.
Adopting UAV technology to carry out any of your visual or thermal aerial inspection work clearly has time saving benefits and can occasionally save weeks if not months of planning. Weeks of shutdowns and days if not weeks of the actual inspection phase.
Data acquisition can clearly help to identify areas of concern or potential premature failures but to capture this requires close proximity visual identification by a competent person generally stemming from an engineering or technical background. UAV Inspection can play its part in this particular area of concern and our Chief Pilot has multiple airplane and aviation qualifications and is qualified with on-site experience as a Welding and Fabrication Inspector with Non-Destructive Testing.
This data can then be stored indefinitely for PERMANENT records to allow for future investigations, training and maintenance planning.
