Cell Tower Inspection
- Documents antenna alignment, guy wire condition, and structural damage from top to bottom, with no climb crew required.
- Catches corrosion, weathering, and hardware degradation before it becomes a maintenance emergency or service outage.
- Infrared sensors flag overloaded connections and overheating components that look normal in a standard visual inspection.
- Capable of inspecting an entire tower in 30 minutes vs. a half-day with a two-person climb crew.
E.g., A thermal scan catches an overheating connector on a routine pass, and the carrier schedules the fix before it turns into a service disruption.
Bridge & Utility Survey
- Reaches the underside, deck, expansion joints, and abutments that ground crews cannot safely access without equipment.
- LiDAR produces engineering-grade 3D models suitable for MTO load ratings and structural condition assessments.
- Identifies corrosion, scour, and fatigue cracking so maintenance priorities are based on actual condition, not assumption.
- Completes the inspection without closing lanes, staging equipment, or putting dive teams in the water.
E.g., Aerial LiDAR detects early-stage erosion around bridge piers. Engineers have what they need to plan the fix before it becomes a load-bearing issue.
Pipeline Inspection
- Inspects exposed and above-ground sections for corrosion, coating failures, and joint degradation, without putting personnel in the field.
- Thermal imaging catches heat anomalies that indicate leaks or insulation breakdown before they reach a critical level.
- Keeps personnel out of elevated, remote, or confined sections that carry real access risk.
- Spots soil subsidence, washouts, and ground movement that could be stressing buried sections of the line.
E.g., Thermal imaging flags an anomalous heat signature on an above-ground section, prompting an integrity assessment that gets ahead of a potential issue.
