Thermal Inspections with Drones
Drone Thermography for Safe, Comprehensive Electrical Inspections
Drone-based thermography enables the creation of detailed thermal maps across complex facilities. In a switchyard or substation—where numerous connectors, insulators, and transformers coexist—a site-wide thermal survey provides a comprehensive overview, allowing rapid identification of anomalies before they escalate into catastrophic failures.
Electrical assets and connections within switchyards and substations—such as transformers or disconnect switches—can now be examined remotely, entirely outside the electrical hazard zone. Aerial Vista utilizes purpose-built equipment rated for high-voltage environments and adverse weather conditions, ensuring personnel remain safe while delivering reliable data under virtually any circumstance.
By mounting a Thermal Camera on a Drone, inspectors and operations teams gain a panoramic view of extensive or difficult-to-access installations. Precise temperature measurements at critical components are captured without the need for aerial platforms, ladders, or disruptive shutdowns.
Solar arrays likewise benefit from this approach: expansive coverage and uninterrupted data acquisition facilitate both areal thermal mapping and targeted point-inspections. Autonomous flight planning directs drones to key inspection points, while drone operators can deviate from preset routes in real time to investigate any irregularities, ensuring thorough documentation for your reporting needs.
Using thermal drones allows for quick inspections, detailed findings and safer work environments. Our drones can offer detailed thermal imagery, both photo and video side by side with real capture photo and video.
By bringing drones into the industrial world we can improve efficiency, lower costs and increase work place safety.
