Drone Inspection for Towers, Roofs & Structures You Can't Safely Climb

The most dangerous part of inspecting a tower or aging steel structure is putting a person on it. We don't — we fly it, in standard and thermal imagery, and hand you documented findings from the ground.

What it documented: deteriorated and displaced roof covering, and surface corrosion on the steel members — captured from angles a climber can't safely reach, without a single climb.

What we inspect

  • Communications & lookout towers — structural steel, fasteners, corrosion, mounts, and roof/cap condition.
  • Roofs — residential and commercial, RGB and thermal.
  • Industrial & elevated structures — anything tall, steep, or deteriorating where a ground crew can't get eyes on the problem.

Why it's done under a Safety Management System

Elevated and structural inspection is exactly where an ad-hoc operator gets someone hurt. Every UUAS flight runs under a documented SMS, by a Part 107 pilot — airspace, weather, obstacles, and the emergency plan are worked before takeoff. For asset owners, that means the inspection itself doesn't add risk or liability.

Inspect what you can't safely climb.
