Drone Inspection Bluffton

Bluffton Drone Inspection Service

Drone inspections are conducted in nearly every industry that requires visual inspections as part of its routine maintenance processes. Drone inspections assist inspectors prevent harmful situations by collecting visual data on the status of an asset. Rather than climbing many stories up a tower to view a guy-wire up close, or mounting scaffolding inside a boiler to inspect a weld, an inspector can simply deploy a drone instead.


In many cases, a drone inspection will be a visual inspection, with the inspector's eyes being the drone's camera. Visual data is acquired using a drone and then evaluated in detail by the inspector afterwards (some review is done on the scene as well, but the comprehensive inspection following data collection represents the bulk of the visual inspection effort.

Roof Inspections

Drone photography can help you get important and actionable information from commercial and residential rooftops. Aerial views let you see a building or structure's condition, look for leaks and flaws, or learn about vents, HVAC systems, or solar panels that are already on the roof. Rootop photography and orthomosic mapping can help you get even more information at your fingertips. Take a picture of a lot of big rooftops at once. Take measurements of things on the roof. With a resolution of up to 0.7in/px, you can see a lot of detail.

Solar Inspections

Get big-picture views with high-altitude aerials, or get close-up photos to look at the condition of the solar panels. Drones can be used to record crucial data in a variety of ways. You can easily keep an eye on your solar panel installations from afar and only go to the ones that need to be fixed. Using our drone inspection services can be very useful when you need to keep an eye on solar panels that are hard to get to, like on the roofs of commercial buildings.

Power Line Inspections

Seeing high-definition aerial images can help you determine the condition of a cell tower, radio tower, or power line tower. To pursue better, more cost-effective repair solutions, determine what equipment is broken or damaged. New zoom capabilities in recent drone cameras enable you to get up close and personal with your equipment. Capture more information than ever before.

Wind Turbine Inspections

When energy companies need to do inspections, they need to turn off the turbines. This means that inspectors need to be as quick as possible to avoid wasting energy. During these inspections, drones can quickly switch between cameras that look up and down, which is what is needed to get the job done. This way, they don't have to be down for long periods of time.

Bridge Inspections

Regular inspections of old bridges are essential for towns to be able to appropriately schedule maintenance and maintain the safety of the public. Drones have the potential to drastically reduce inspection times while simultaneously boosting workplace safety and lowering pricey insurance costs.
