Thermal Imagery

Conducting a thermal imaging survey using traditional methods often requires full accessibility to roofs, which can be challenging and costly. This typically involves erecting scaffolding through an external company, leading to additional preparation, personnel, and equipment expenses. Even with these arrangements, it can be difficult to achieve complete accuracy since not all areas of the roof may be safely reachable. Furthermore, traditional data collection relies on a single individual, which can introduce opportunities for interpretation errors or disputes.

In contrast, deploying thermal drones allows us to capture high-quality, accurate data in a manner that is both cost-effective and efficient. Our approach requires no extensive preparation, incurs minimal additional costs, and causes little to no disruption to you or your neighbours. Using image-based data collection ensures the highest level of accuracy possible.

The primary aim of our drone thermal surveys is to provide clients with essential insights into the energy performance of their properties or assets. This information enables better property management and can lead to significant cost savings in the long run. Our thermal drone surveys can effectively identify:

• Air leakage
• Areas of heat loss from buildings or assets
• Missing insulation
• Damp areas
• Cracks and structural vulnerabilities
• Roof leaks
• Leaking pipes

Roof Inspections

Our advanced drone roof inspection services are designed to meet the demands of even the largest commercial properties. We utilise a robust fleet of DJI Enterprise M3 drones, specifically engineered for extensive commercial applications, allowing us to cover large areas efficiently. These high-performance drones provide superior range, speed, and battery life compared to smaller, hobbyist drones weighing less than 250g.

We specialise in large-scale drone roof inspections, employing grid-based flight patterns to ensure comprehensive coverage of expansive rooftops. This methodical approach guarantees that every section is documented, leaving no area unexamined.

Our expertise extends to surveying substantial structures such as warehouses, hospitals, and hotels, demonstrating our capability to manage projects of any size. We capture high-resolution images of entire rooftops, enabling thorough assessments and the identification of potential issues without the need for physical access.

The advantages of utilising professional-grade equipment become evident during these large-scale surveys. While hobbyist drones are limited by range and battery life, our DJI Enterprise M3 drones excel in covering extensive areas while maintaining exceptional quality and detail. This efficiency results in more accurate surveys, quicker project completion, and ultimately greater value for our clients.

Using drones for roof inspections offers several significant safety advantages. Firstly, drones eliminate the need for personnel to access potentially hazardous areas, such as steep roofs or high-rise buildings, thereby reducing the risk of falls and injuries. Secondly, drone inspections can be conducted quickly and efficiently, minimising the duration that workers spend in precarious positions.

Additionally, drones can capture high-quality images and data from angles and heights that might be difficult or unsafe for human inspectors to reach, allowing for comprehensive assessments without putting anyone at risk. Finally, using drones can decrease the need for scaffolding or ladders, which not only enhances safety but also reduces the logistical complexities and costs associated with traditional inspection methods.

RGB & Multispectral Imaging

As technology advances, staying updated with the latest innovations is crucial in fields like agriculture and ecology, and multispectral drone mapping plays a key role in this. This cutting-edge technique employs drones equipped with specialised cameras to capture images across various wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Multispectral imaging enhances agricultural practices by providing detailed insights into crop health and growth conditions. By capturing images across different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, farmers can identify variations in plant health, nutrient deficiencies, and water stress that may not be visible to the naked eye. This technology enables targeted interventions, such as precise fertiliser application or irrigation adjustments, ultimately leading to improved yields and resource efficiency. Additionally, by monitoring crop conditions over time, farmers can make informed decisions about planting and harvesting schedules, thereby optimising overall farm management.

Agricultural Drone Spraying and Seeding

Drones enhance the efficiency of crop management in several key ways. Firstly, they provide high-resolution aerial imagery and real-time data collection, allowing farmers to monitor crop health, assess growth stages, and identify issues such as pest infestations or nutrient deficiencies promptly. This timely information enables targeted interventions, reducing waste and improving overall crop yield.

Secondly, drones facilitate precise application of inputs like fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, ensuring that these products are applied only where needed and in the right quantities. This precision reduces costs and minimises environmental impact.

Additionally, drones can cover large areas quickly, significantly speeding up tasks such as planting and spraying, which can be crucial during critical growth periods. Their ability to operate in challenging terrain and weather conditions also ensures that crop management activities can continue without interruption.

Finally, the integration of drone data with farm management software allows for better analysis and decision-making, leading to more informed strategies for crop management and resource allocation.
