Drones bring infrastructure inspections into the modern age

Inspectors have to assess complex structures, access dangerous environments, and work based on limited existing data while minimizing downtime as much as possible. Drones offer a better way. 

Work at Height

Safe, remote collection with 0 risks to humans through remote access.

Data Coverage

Gain full access to the inaccessible, including roof spaces, between pipes, or underground.

Safer and Faster

Boost speed and efficiency by 95% for large facility inspections.

Elios 3

Designed in Switzerland, flown worldwide, the Elios 3 is the ultimate drone for confined space access. Use this drone to map complex spaces, gain access to unsafe environments, and create digital twins of large, intricate structures. Modular in design, you can choose between NDT, LiDAR, and other cutting-edge sensors to customize the perfect inspection solution for your unique needs.

Surveying Payload

This powerful LiDAR sensor is a step above the Elios 3’s standard laser scanner. The Surveying Payload comprises an Ouster LiDAR sensor and FARO software to offer detailed point cloud modelling and analysis, including export capabilities for Scan to BIM. Use the power of SLAM to optimize, identify, and georeference your point clouds to tie your underground or confined-space inspections into the real world.

Inspector Software

The partner software for the Elios 3, Inspector shows you what the drone already knows. Compare 4K videos side-by-side with the LiDAR point cloud, localizing any defects or points of interest in a centimeter-accurate point cloud. Generate reports, colorize the point cloud, and choose whether you manage your data in the desktop or online version of inspector. Empower your team with clear data that is easy to visualize, analyze, and collaborate on.

Case Study

Drone inspections of damaged sewer pipes

C&K Industrial Services used the Elios 3 to survey a sewer pipeline that was damaged due to old age and needed to be relined. Using the Elios 3 kept the team out of a high-risk environment, including poor air quality and confined space spread over thousands of feet/hundreds of meters.

Case Study

The Elios 3 for Facility Inspections

The state of Maryland covers 12,407 square miles (32,133 square kilometers) with a population of over 6 million. The Maryland Department of Transportation’s State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) maintains and manages over 17,440 lane miles of highway in the state. This monumental task helps keep citizens safe through maintaining roadways and responding quickly in cases of damage or accidents. The Elios 3 is part of their effort to respond quickly and safely to a variety of tasks.
