Aerial Inspections
BENEFITS OF USING DRONES FOR INSPECTION
Drones, the mini unmanned aerial vehicle has disrupted the way aerial photography is conducted. In the past, only those that can afford to rent an aircraft and a pilot can capture aerial footage. With the coming of drones, this is now history. One of the uses of drones, especially in the construction and tourism industry, is inspection.
A drone fitted with high-quality drone cameras is a perfect inspection tool. It could maneuver its way into dangerous terrains that will otherwise, have one risk his life and provide live stream video of the condition of the place. I have seen it been used in a National Geographic Wild documentary. If you are in the construction, energy, or tourism industry, consider using a drone for your inspection work. Below are the benefits they have over the manual inspection process.

Safer to Conduct If there’s one reason why you should ditch the manual inspection process that requires humans to be actively involved; then, this has to be because of safety. Every time you climb a building for inspection – even if it is a one-story building, you are taken a risk without even knowing as you could fall and sustain injuries. Interestingly, only about 10 – 20 percent of inspection works requires actual maintenance and work to be done. For this reason, drone inspections can be useful in up to 80 – 90 percent of inspection tasks that do not require maintenance, as in the case of many visual inspections. Cost-Effective and Save Time Would you rather pay someone to climb a building and spending a long period of time inspecting a building and incurring huge hourly costs or get an inspection tool in the form of a drone that will do it within a small period of time – and at a competitive price? Automation brings automation to inspection services – and automation, in most cases, comes with a reduction in time taken, and reduced cost. Outdoor inspections that will take a human 10 hours to complete might get done in 2 hours using a drone. For this reason, using a drone for inspection will save you time and money. |

Reduces Downtime and Time Wastage
At nuclear plants and some construction works, for inspection to take place, the site will have to be shutdown and activities suspended. This is to prevent any harm to the inspector while carrying out his or her duty. While this is done to keep the inspector safe, it is counterproductive and leads to time wastage and loss of revenue. With an inspection tool like a drone, your service can still be on while a certified drone photographer with the requisite skills control the drone and collect aerial footage of the site under inspection.
Reduce the Cost of Insurance
Companies spent a huge sum of money on liability insurance for putting the lives of their personnel at risk. The longer its personnel spends in risky situations on inspection, the more they cough out money. Through a reduced period of inspection by making use of unmanned aerial systems, a company saves the cost of its liability insurance. The money saved can then be used for other purposes.

Drones can be Adapted for Special Functions
Visual inspection is the most common type of inspection among construction companies. However, the energy sector and other sectors may need other specialized inspections that drone cameras wouldn’t be able to achieve. Let say you want to carry out an inspection and pick up thermal emission from the ground; regular cameras won’t be able to do that. You will need to fit a sensor meant for that purpose.
