Drone Inspections & Asset Surveys
Aerial inspections use drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal sensors to inspect structures and assets that are difficult, dangerous, or time-consuming to reach. We capture detailed imagery for condition reporting, defect detection, and maintenance planning without scaffolding or downtime.
How Drone Inspections Work
The drone captures detailed imagery, both visual and thermal, which is then reviewed or analysed to detect defects, damage, heat loss, or electrical faults without the need for scaffolding or downtime.
This approach allows for safe, efficient, and repeatable inspections of critical infrastructure such as wind turbines, solar farms, rooftops, and large construction sites.
Thermal (infrared) imagery highlighting hotspots, cracks, or faulty connections
Deliverables & Outputs
High-resolution still imagery for condition reporting
4K inspection video for visual reference
Annotated reports with defect locations and severity ratings
Optional 3D inspection models for structure analysis
Geo-tagged images for asset management systems
Why Choose Drone Inspections?
SAFETY
Removes the need for personnel to work at height or in hazardous areas.
SPEED
Large structures (e.g. turbines or solar arrays) can be inspected in a fraction of the time.
COST EFFICIENCY
Eliminates scaffolding, cherry pickers, and site shutdowns.
DETAIL & PRECISION
Zoom lenses and thermal sensors reveal small defects invisible to the naked eye.
What We Inspect
Wind Farms: Blade and nacelle inspections, corrosion checks, lightning damage, and surface integrity assessment.
Solar Farms: Detection of faulty panels, cabling issues, or hot spots using thermal imaging.
Construction & Infrastructure: Progress documentation, roof inspections, façade condition surveys, and as-built verification.
Utilities & Telecommunications: Power line inspections, pylon condition assessment, and mast surveys.
Industrial & Commercial: Warehouse roofs, chimneys, silos, and storage tanks.
Land by Drone provides drone inspections across Plymouth, Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West. From commercial roof surveys in Plymouth city centre to wind turbine inspections along the Cornish coast, we deliver detailed condition reports without scaffolding, cherry pickers, or site shutdowns."
