Why choose the Elios 3 drone for sewer inspections?
Unlike traditional RVI tools like CCTV, the Elios 3 can easily be deployed inside pipes with diameters larger than 75 cm. With a unique design for inspections in contact with its surroundings, the drone can navigate openings as small as 60x60cm and navigate obstructions without fear of collisions.
Equipped with a close-up visual inspection payload, the Elios 3 can be swiftly deployed to capture 4K footage and 12-megapixel images, working to provide rapid insights in previously inaccessible areas. The drone adheres to official reporting standards, with all points of interest recorded in flight precisely located in a digital twin of the asset that can be evaluated within the Inspector software solution.
When mounted with the Surveying Payload, the Elios 3 and its partner FARO Connect software can georeference sewage infrastructure with centimeter-level accuracy, enhancing situational awareness for planning, maintenance, and emergency response.
