• Oil rig inspection – detection of rust, corrosion, wear and tear, and structural integrity

• Structural integrity – surveys include storage tanks, gantries, walkways; cracks, rust, corrosion can be determined

• Flare tip – allows tip monitoring without halting operations; UAV to capture close up image of tip; thermal camera to be utilized

• Pipeline inspection – UAV to detect leakage or crack with infrared camera; miles of pipeline can be covered in a short time

• Flare stack – inspection include the tips, supporting structure and pipe work; can be done monthly for known issues or annually for regulation commitment

Capture: Preparation

• Plan your flight at your desk before take-off

• Select the area to be surveyed

• Calculate the flight paths taking into account the required altitude, terrain, and battery life

Large areas are automatically split into multiple flights

Capture: Take-off

• The final flight plan is transmitted wirelessly to the aerial drone

• It is launched safely from the hand or an additional catapult

Capture: Flight

• Follow the route live on your screen

• Controlled by the autopilot

• Follow the specified flight path and independently takes the required aerial photographs

Wind speeds of up to 50 km/h and gusts of up to 65 km/h, rain and temperatures of -20°C to + 45°C are no problems for the most UAVs

Capture: Landing

• The drone lands completely automatically

To circumnavigate any obstacles, recommend controlling the drone with simple movements to the left and right, assisted by the autopilot but controlled manually

Capture: Data Checking

• After the flight, rapidly calculates a quality preview to allow you to check the data for accuracy

• You can see immediately if there are any gaps and whether the photographs of multiple flights were overlaid correctly or incorrectly

• A quick and zoom able image preview also reveals details so you can verify whether the requested objects were recorded

Process/Analysis

• Various image processing programs and analysis tools can be integrated into the UAV desktop

• Use these programs to create highly accurate aerial images, orthophotos, point clouds, triangulations, terrain models, or fully textured 3D models without any manual intervention
