Drone Survey and Inspection


For roof, bridge, land or large building surveys and inspections - drones are quickly becoming the preferred choice for engineers, construction and asset managers for drone inspection and drone surveying because they offer great advantages in safety and speed of access.


Land surveys, aerial asset inspection and roof inspections all carry inherent risks using traditional methods. Using the latest commercial drone technology, Skytech Cambridge are able to complete timely and safe visual drone survey and drone inspection work while reducing traditional associated costs.


We can offer rapid deployment to carry out a comprehensive service at any location around the UK. 


Every project is planned in detail beforehand to keep flight times to a minimum while ensuring that all relevant data is captured for post-flight analysis and reporting.


Safety


By removing the requirement for scaffolding or other manual access equipment, as well as the risks associated with working at height, we can safely and efficiently capture highly detailed, accurate and repeatable data for our clients.


Every job involves a stringent risk assessment to ensure that all members of our knowledgeable and CAA qualified team; our client's team and members of the public; are safe at all times while we work. 


All projects operate with a minimum of £5m public liability insurance as standard.

Why are drone inspections safer?

  • Drones can access areas that are difficult or dangerous for humans to reach. For example, drones can be used to inspect bridges, towers, and other structures that may be too high, steep, or otherwise hazardous for people to climb or access.

  • Drones can operate in hazardous environments without putting human inspectors at risk. For example, drones can be used to inspect power lines, pipelines, and other infrastructure that may be exposed to high voltage, toxic chemicals, or other hazards.

  • Drones can be equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras that allow them to capture detailed images and data from hard-to-reach locations. This can help to identify potential problems or issues that may not be visible to the naked eye, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries.

  • Drones can be operated remotely, allowing inspections to be conducted from a safe distance. This can be especially useful in situations where the risk of exposure to hazardous materials or other hazards is high.

The proof is in the detail

Drone camera sensors carry incredible detail along with a host of additional features that allow us to deliver high quality actionable data to our clients.


A Skytech Cambridge drone survey or inspection will usually incorporate hundreds of geolocated high resolution photos to capture the asset from every possible angle.

These photos are compiled into a comprehensive condition report which will highlight any issues.


Flights can be conducted in the presence of clients on-site to provide a 'live inspection' via a remote monitor.

DRONE SURVEY AND INSPECTION FOR ANY TASK

COMMERCIAL SITE SURVEY

NATIONAL HOUSE BUILDER


A recent site-wide drone scan for a new build house developer detected issues which were not immediately obvious from ground level.


The management team were able to work through the comprehensive drone scanned 3D model of the site and the high resolution photos generated by SkyTech Cambridge to identify potential issues. These concerns were then presented to the Site Manager to rectify.


None of this required any time on site and could be carried out from any desktop computer or laptop with an internet connection.


BUSINESS ROOF SURVEY

CHURCH NEAR CAMBRIDGE


On an aerial roof survey at a church in Cambridge, it was identified that some of the brickwork was eroding and falling onto the roof below. In previous years this had caused issues when it had blocked areas of the drainage system.


On this occasion, however, it was obvious that this was not presenting an issue. The remainder of the church's roof was thoroughly scanned, photographed and a full condition report was submitted to the owners for their consideration.

DOMESTIC ROOF SURVEY

PROPERTY IN ROYSTON, HERTFORDSHIRE


A roof survey at a domestic property in Royston revealed a number of issues that the customer decided needed addressing. These were only identified due to the access our drone provided, as the roof area spanned multiple levels, which would have usually required a complex installation of scaffolding simply to carry out an inspection. 


Following the survey it was decided to fit a cap to the chimney to reduce the ingress of water as the fireplace is almost never used. They also decided to get the brickwork on the chimney repointed. Work also needed doing to the top of the chimney to rectify the aging and cracking concrete.
