Our Services
With our expertise and specialised unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) we offer a comprehensive range of services specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of Energy and Resources projects, including (but not limited to):
- Infrastructure and asset inspections: Perform detailed aerial inspections of critical infrastructure and assets such as pipelines, power lines, storage tanks, renewable energy farms, and refineries to ensure integrity, identify potential risks, and assess maintenance requirements.
- Mining site surveys and planning: Conduct aerial surveying and mapping of mining sites to enable efficient planning, resource extraction, optimised operational processes, and to facilitate compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
- Gas leak detection and monitoring: Use specialised gas sensors to detect and monitor gas leaks in pipelines, enabling early detection and prompt response to mitigate potential hazards.
- Thermal imaging and energy efficiency assessments: Identify energy inefficiencies, detect heat loss, and optimize energy usage in facilities, power plants, and industrial operations — helping to reduce operating costs, enhance sustainability, and improve operational efficiency.
- LiDAR surveys and modelling: Utilise drones equipped with LiDAR technology to capture highly detailed and accurate elevation data for topographic mapping, volumetric analysis, and terrain modelling.
- Inspection and monitoring of offshore assets: Inspect offshore assets such as offshore wind farms and oil and gas platforms, to assess structural integrity, detect corrosion, and identify maintenance needs.
- Emergency response support: Rapid deployment of drones to offer critical support in emergency situations to assist with incident assessment, real-time monitoring, and search and rescue operations, particularly in challenging and hazardous environments.
- Ecological and Environment Impact Assessment: Evaluate the potential environmental impacts of resource extraction and construction activities from an aerial perspective, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and to promote sustainable practices.
- Data processing, analysis, visualisation, and reporting: Comprehensive data processing services to provide valuable information and actionable insights — including data analysis, data visualisation, advisory, and reporting.
