A new standard in aerial inspections

We use the DJI Matrice 4T drone – an advanced inspection platform equipped with a 640×512 px thermal imaging camera, a 48 MP high-resolution visual camera, and a precise RTK positioning system – to quickly and safely diagnose photovoltaic installations, industrial infrastructure, and construction projects.

The combination of thermal imaging, optical zoom, and geodetic mapping enables early fault detection and the creation of accurate technical documentation.

Photovoltaic farms – detailed aerial diagnostics

Comprehensive thermal inspections of PV farms and large-scale rooftop photovoltaic installations help identify issues before they develop into costly failures.

  • Thermal anomaly maps with precise locations of damaged modules, hotspots, cabling issues, and shading within the installation layout.

  • Recurring O&M inspections with repeatable flight paths enabled by RTK technology.

  • Standardised reports with thermal layers and orthophoto maps, ready for trend analysis and maintenance planning.

  • Automated defect detection and anomaly classification using dedicated software.

Thermal imaging precision

A high-performance thermal camera with resolution up to 1280×1024 px (High-Resolution mode) detects even minor temperature differences between modules, enabling early identification of potential issues.

Positioning accuracy

Thanks to RTK technology, every image is linked to a position accurate to a few centimetres – ideal for reports prepared for owners, service teams, and insurance companies.

Efficiency

Automated missions and extended flight range allow thousands of panels to be inspected during a single flight, reducing inspection time compared with traditional ground-based methods by up to several dozen percent.

Benefits for PV farm operators

  • Fast identification of modules causing production losses.

  • Fewer unplanned shutdowns and improved power availability.
  • Objective data supporting maintenance and investment decisions.
  • Documentation compliant with the requirements of insurers and investors.
  • Possibility of implementing preventive recurring inspections.

Contact us to schedule a thermal inspection of your PV farm. You will receive a sample report with a defect map and recommended corrective actions.

Industry – inspections without stopping production

Manufacturing plants and energy infrastructure

Thermal inspections of electrical and industrial installations allow problems to be identified before they lead to failures and production downtime.

Applications:

  • Switchgear, busbars, connections, and overhead lines – detection of overheating components and connections before failure.
  • Industrial hall roofs, steel structures, chimneys, and tanks – inspections without scaffolding or production shutdowns.
  • Utility installations: heating pipelines, leak detection, and identification of energy losses based on thermal signatures.
  • Transformer stations, transformers, and switchgear equipment.

Safety and operational continuity

Risk minimization

Aerial data is collected from a safe distance, eliminating the need for employees to enter high-risk areas, work at height, or approach live electrical installations.

Time flexibility

Thermal imaging and night operation modes enable inspections outside production hours without disrupting plant operations. Omnidirectional obstacle sensors ensure safe flights even in limited visibility conditions.

Preventive monitoring

Consistent and repeatable flight paths enable preventive monitoring of critical infrastructure components and tracking changes over time.

Benefits for industry

  • Reduced risk of failures and costly production downtime.
  • Technical documentation supporting energy audits, health and safety inspections, and maintenance planning.
  • Precise data for evaluating modernization investments (e.g. PV installations, line replacement, capacity expansion).
  • Faster diagnostics and elimination of scaffolding costs.
  • Compliance with quality and safety management standards.

Ask about inspection options for your facility. We will recommend the appropriate inspection scope and provide examples of thermal reports from similar sites.

Mapping, surveying and construction progress monitoring

Mapping and surveying for investments

We create accurate spatial data that improves the design and execution of commercial, industrial, and energy projects.

Surveying services:

  • 2D orthophoto maps and 3D terrain models with centimetre-level horizontal accuracy using RTK technology.
  • Measurement of areas and volumes of embankments, excavations, and storage yards – supporting earthwork calculations.
  • Slope and terrain analysis to optimise cable routes, utility networks, and PV installation layouts.

Construction monitoring and quality control

Construction progress time-lapse

Regular drone flights from repeatable viewpoints create visual documentation of construction progress, available to investors, general contractors, and technical supervisors.

Design compliance verification

Comparison of actual site conditions with design documentation and schedules allows quick identification of delays, conflicts, and deviations from planned works.

Documentation without downtime

Up-to-date aerial photo and video documentation is available without the need for physical site visits, saving time for teams managing multiple projects simultaneously.

Benefits for developers and general contractors

  • Better risk control during site preparation and construction.
  • Transparent communication with investors and financing institutions through objective aerial data.
  • Possibility of integrating drone data into BIM models and design software.
  • Faster resolution of disputes and contractor settlements based on documented site conditions.
  • Reduced time and costs associated with traditional ground surveys.

We will prepare an offer for terrain mapping, recurring construction monitoring, or as-built documentation. Data can be delivered in GeoTIFF, DXF, and LAS/LAZ formats compatible with the most popular software platforms.
