POWER PLANT INSPECTION DRONES

In just 8 hours (compared to 9+ days on average with traditional methods), use a drone to remotely identify any damage inside a boiler, perform a full UT inspection of the boiler and superheater pipes, and plan for maintenance. Save over $200,000 on scaffolding and labor costs, plus an additional $250,000 in reduced downtime costs. With Inspector 5, our companion software, defects and UT measurements are precisely localized in the 3D map of the asset and fully documented, reviewable, and easy to share.

Save up to $50K on a single inspection by flying a drone from the bottom to the top of a chimney to collect visual and UT data and safely assess the condition of the asset. Thanks to the Elios 3 UT you will be able to avoid work at height and inspect the whole chimney in under 2 hours, compared to 2+ days with traditional UT methods.

Avoid sending people into confined spaces like penstocks by using a remote inspection drone instead. The Elios 3 can capture high-quality visuals, UT measurements, and LiDAR scans in GPS-denied environments. Detect cracks and potential damages or signs of corrosion and make informed decisions for maintenance planning. Perform the full inspection in under 2 days (compared to over 7 days with ropers) and save $80,000 on inspection costs, plus anywhere between $100,000 and $500,000 in reduced downtime.

Inspect wind turbine blades 4x faster and avoid sending rope access technicians inside the blades by using the Elios 3 drone instead. 90% of blade defects can only be found from inside the blade, and the Elios 3 with its 4K live video feed is the perfect tool for the job. Check the flange connections and bolts in the tower or inspect the blades for cracks, loosened bolts, and other damage. Use the LiDAR to overlay external and internal blade inspections and take advantage of the UT payload to scan the tower and underground/underwater structures for rust and corrosion without having to send a person.

Inspect the cooling tower fill structure safely from the ground, without the need for scaffolding or man lifts, saving you thousands in the process. Perform a full inspection in under 2 days, compared to 10+ days with traditional methods, and localize any defects or damaged supports within the 3D model of your asset.

Identify threats to critical assets by performing visual inspections & LiDAR mapping inside vertical pipelines (from 80 cm in diameter). Reduce forced outages through preventative maintenance plans and get 100% data coverage inside out-of-reach areas. With the Elios 3, collect actionable insights including high-quality photos and video & 3D maps with centimeter accuracy.
