THE BENEFITS OF USING DRONES FOR AERIAL SURVEYS & INSPECTIONS

The Benefits of Using Drones For Aerial Surveys & Inspections. 

We often get asked whats the biggest benefits of using APT to carry out drone aerial surveys. Here are a few of the reasons why our drone surveys can save you time and money:

1. A safer working environment - no working at height and or organising road closures
2. Personnel can remain on the ground instead of working at height, in most weathers reduced downtime.
3. Massive saving on cost often you need to allow for large access platforms and a qualified man to use it as well as a second man on the platform taking photos and notes.
4. Our drones can undertake an aerial survey in hours which may take a ground based site team days to complete at extra cost and time against programme. 
5. Our UAV drone can reach work heights (up to 120 meters) in less than a minute and begin producing results immediately.
6. Transmitting data back to the office and clients in real time during the aerial survey.
7. Rapidly provide evidence of structural damage for insurance claims to speed up the claim process.
8. Higher quality imagery – both video and photographs from any vantage point.
9. Our highly-skilled UAV operators can fly within 2 metres of the survey structure, producing unsurpassed image quality in great detail.
10. Making the inaccessible accessible instantly.
11. Our UAV drone can be directed to areas such as wind turbine blade tips or HV electrical   installations to perform a survey that would traditionally be dangerous and time-consuming in a matter of minutes.
12. Using real-time imagery streamed to the ground, our engineer can direct the drone to investigate any potential issues while the UAV is in the air allowing focused results in real time.
13. Our UAV drones have GPS-based autopilot that not only allows us to 'lock' the UAV in the air at a specific location while we video and photograph the required areas but also brings the UAV drone home automatically if radio contact is lost - increasing safety on-site.

AERIAL SURVEYS OF POWER LINES

Drone Aerial  surveys of Power Lines

Ensuring on-going electrical power line safety is an enormous task. Over time mechanical components supporting high voltage lines fatigue, and electrical isolators crack and break down. To prevent the dangerous situation of downed power lines and electrified towers, frequent inspection must be undertaken. 

Currently manned helicopters are used for inspection purposes, which is both hazardous and very expensive work. APT Ariel Surveys use state of the art aerial droids and skilled engineers to remove the human element from this dangerous environment – allowing operators to get in close to capture detailed images of the equipment at a fraction of the cost and carbon footprint.

AERIAL SURVEYS ON WIND TURBINES

Aerial Surveys on Wind Turbines

Wind turbine rotor blades can suffer damage as they are subjected to extremely variable weather conditions. When blades become damaged, dirty or faulty the total productivity of your turbine may be considerably reduced.

APT Aerial Surveys can undertake remote visual Inspections of wind turbines, electricity pylons all from a safe distance and using HD camera systems with a dedicated video down-link we can allow the client to view exactly what the our Drone is seeing during the aerial survey. This is very useful if the client sees something they want us to investigate in more detail. 

APT Aerial Surveys will work closely with your engineering and maintenance teams to provide high-quality real-time imagery of each of your turbine assets, reducing down-time and associated costs.

Our Drone can fly up close to survey and analyse the rotor blades and structure of each wind turbine asset in seconds, moving to multiple locations in a wind farm with minimal time delay, allowing you to survey and analyse HD imagery much quicker than traditional telephotography or manual inspection methods, which is very difficult when the top of the rotor blades may be as high as one hundred metres.

HD photos and video will be recorded of the aerial survey, with findings documented in a comprehensive report and complimentary DVD with files in a format of your choice up to 1080p. We can also forward the data in real time so you have the latest information possible.

AERIAL SURVEYS FOR HEALTH & SAFETY

Aerial Surveys for Health & Safety

We also undertake Health &Safety aerial inspections – to check on collapsed scaffold etc. We can deploy our droids to check hazardous sites without compromising the safety of inspection personal, allowing them to see first-hand if closer inspections are needed and most importantly if it is safe to proceed on to a site that my present real hazards to inspectors and the workers.

We can also undertake aerial inspections in flooded areas to check for people and/or livestock. if you would like more information in regards to our aerial services for health and safety please don’t hesitate to contact us now at: info@aptsoundtesting.co.uk

CONSTRUCTION SITE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Construction Site Aerial Photography

We can capture your on-images and video of your ongoing Construction project – from Greenfield sites to completed projects. This is usually for planning reasons, time line appraisals or as a record of the build for developers and/or architects. 

Using the latest software we can place our flying droids in the exact place for each on-going construction site aerial survey to repeat and capture the same image as the project progresses capturing the whole build from start to completion.

If you require aerial surveys on your construction site please don’t hesitate to contact us now at: info@aptsoundtesting.co.uk 

AERIAL SURVEY ON CHIMNEY STACKS

Aerial Survey on Chimney Stacks

Visually inspecting tall or otherwise difficult to reach structures has traditionally been an expensive exercise requiring large cranes, helicopters or rope access work.

Using our aerial drones to survey large chimney stacks you can now get high-resolution, high-quality photos and video of these structures in an economical manner as well as negating the risk elements associated with working at height. Our UAV sends a live video feed of what the drone is seeing and we can email the images across to our clients within minutes.

Also, because they are unmanned our UAV drones are able to get into areas that would otherwise be too dangerous for live inspection, e.g. close-up on live flame stacks or in proximity to chemical leaks. Likewise, because of their small scale and quiet operation our drones can operate close to working sites without causing disruption.

AERIAL SURVEYS FOR FACTORY ROOFS

Aerial Surveys for Factory Roofs

APT Aerial surveys can quickly undertake aerial surveys of large factory roofs using our drones. Not only does this shorten the time it takes to undertake the survey it also negates the need for very large manned powered platforms such as large cheery pickers or scissor lifts which are needed to safely survey/inspect the often hazardous existing roof coverings.

We can normally supply the reports containing high-quality photos and video on the same day as well as negating the risk elements associated with working at height on fragile materials. We can normally undertake an UAV aerial inspectionhttp://aptsoundtesting.co.uk/aerialsurveysinlondon.html of a large roof during a single day.

If you require aerial survey on a factory roof please don’t hesitate to contact us now at: info@aerialsurveys.co.uk
