Industrial drone inspection of cell tower infrastructure
FAA Section 333 Approved

Industrial Drone Inspection Services

Safer, faster, and more thorough inspections of critical infrastructure — without scaffolding, rope access, or shutdowns.

Inspection Capabilities

We inspect the assets that keep your operations running — without putting people at risk or taking assets offline.

Cell Tower & Antenna Inspection

Full structural inspection of towers, antennas, mounts, and cable runs. Identify corrosion, loose hardware, and structural fatigue without sending climbers up.

Pipeline & Utility Corridor

Linear infrastructure surveys covering miles per day. Detect encroachments, erosion, leaks, and right-of-way violations with thermal and RGB imaging.

Rooftop & Building Envelope

Thermal and visual inspection of commercial rooftops, facades, and building envelopes. Identify moisture intrusion, insulation failures, and structural defects.

Bridge & Civil Structure

Detailed inspection of bridge decks, piers, abutments, and superstructure elements. Deliverables formatted for AASHTO and FHWA reporting standards.

Construction Progress Monitoring

Regular site documentation flights providing photogrammetric models, volumetric calculations, and progress reports for project managers and owners.

Solar Farm Inspection

Thermal imaging identifies underperforming panels, hotspots, bypass diode failures, and soiling patterns across utility-scale and commercial solar installations.

Case Studies

Proven results across telecom, civil infrastructure, and commercial real estate.

62% cost reduction

Regional Telecom Carrier

47 cell towers

Challenge

Annual tower inspection program requiring climbers for each site — expensive, slow, and creating liability exposure. The carrier needed to inspect 47 towers before the winter season.

Solution

Deployed drone inspection teams across all 47 towers over 12 days. Full structural, antenna, and cable documentation with thermal imaging for electrical anomalies.

Result

Inspection cost reduced by 62% vs. traditional climbing crews. Identified 3 towers with critical corrosion requiring immediate remediation — all missed in the prior year's visual inspection.

Zero lane closures

Municipal Bridge Authority

8 bridges

Challenge

Aging bridge portfolio requiring biennial inspections under FHWA standards. Traditional inspection methods required lane closures and specialized equipment.

Solution

Drone inspection of all substructure and superstructure elements with photogrammetric 3D modeling. Deliverables formatted to FHWA Element Level Inspection standards.

Result

Zero lane closures required. Inspection completed 40% faster than traditional methods. Discovered previously undetected delamination on a 1960s-era concrete pier, enabling proactive repair.

$340K capex saved

Commercial Real Estate Developer

12 rooftops

Challenge

Portfolio of 12 commercial buildings with aging roofing systems. Owner needed to prioritize capital expenditure but had no reliable data on roof condition.

Solution

Thermal and RGB inspection of all 12 rooftops during a single mobilization. Moisture mapping, drainage analysis, and condition scoring for each property.

Result

Identified 3 roofs requiring immediate replacement and 5 that could be extended with targeted repairs. Capital plan optimized, saving an estimated $340,000 in unnecessary replacements.

Inspect smarter. Stay safer.
