Drone Inspection for Process Industry
Inspect tanks, chimneys, pipe racks and hard-to-reach structures without scaffolding and without downtime. We have experience with ex-classified zones and work according to your safety procedures.
Challenges we solve for industry
Drone inspection replaces hazardous and time-consuming manual inspections of hard-to-reach industrial objects.
Tank and vessel inspection
Visual and thermal inspection of external surfaces on tanks and vessels. Identify corrosion, deformation, insulation deficiencies and leakage indicators.
Read more about industrial inspection →Chimneys and flare stacks
Inspection of tall structures without climbing or scaffolding. We document surface damage, cracks and joint defects with high-resolution camera.
Read more about facade inspection →Production hall roofs
Thermal inspection of industrial building roofs to identify moisture ingress, insulation deficiencies and waterproofing damage.
Read more about roof inspection →Pipe racks and pipeline corridors
Thermal and visual inspection of pipelines and supporting structures. Identify insulation deficiencies, temperature anomalies and mechanical damage.

Drone technology reduces risk, cost and downtime during inspections.
Minimal downtime
The inspection is carried out while the facility is in operation. No production losses or costly shutdowns required.
Eliminated height risk
No personnel need to climb on tanks, chimneys or other tall structures. The entire inspection is carried out from a safe position.
Ex-classified zone experience
We have experience working in and around explosion-classified environments and adapt the assignment to your safety requirements.
Thermal analysis
Industry-leading thermal camera identifies insulation deficiencies, overheating and leaks invisible during visual inspection.
Detailed documentation
Reports with high-resolution images, thermograms and position data that can be integrated into your maintenance system.
Cost-effective
No scaffolding, mobile cranes or industrial rope access needed. The drone reaches hard-to-access locations at a fraction of the cost.
Frequently asked questions from industry
Yes, we have experience working in and around explosion-classified environments. Contact us to discuss the conditions and safety requirements for your specific facility.
The drone inspection is carried out without disrupting ongoing production. We do not need to erect scaffolding, cordon off areas or shut down processes. Most objects can be inspected while the facility is in operation.
We inspect tanks, reactors, chimneys, flare stacks, pipe racks, cooling water systems, production hall roofs and other hard-to-reach structures. Contact us to describe your object.
The report contains high-resolution RGB images, thermal images with analysis, identified anomalies with position data and recommended actions. We can adapt the report format to your internal requirements.
We follow your internal safety procedures and always carry out a risk assessment before flight. Our pilots are EASA-certified and we are insured. We coordinate with your operations staff for safe execution.
Yes, thermal inspection is an effective method for identifying inadequate insulation, leaks and temperature anomalies on pipelines and process vessels without needing to open or dismantle anything.
We recommend contacting us well in advance, especially if the inspection needs to be coordinated with planned shutdowns or turnarounds. In most cases, we can carry out assignments at short notice.
