Drone Bridge Inspections Faster and more cost-efficient with minimal interference.

Bridge inspections with little or no downtime.

We inspect bridges without the need for scaffolding, rope access or lane closures. Our drones capture detailed visuals quickly and safely — cutting cost, minimising disruption, and helping you stay compliant with inspection requirements.

Pinpoint Problem Areas

Using 4K ultra-high-definition cameras and zoom lenses we can pinpoint areas that are suffering from decay, cracks, erosion, corrosion and other damage. Enjoy peace of mind in knowing that issues that are causing, and have the potential to cause, serious problems will be found quickly and efficiently.

Remote Monitoring

The use of drone 3D modelling technologies gives you the opportunity to inspect a digital twin of a bridge from the comfort of your office. This detailed replica can be inspected at a minute level, allowing you to make a record of any areas that are in need of attention. Issues such as poorly executed repairs, general damage and other potential weaknesses can be shared with your employees, suppliers and other shareholders at the click of a button.

Detect Delamination

Deploying drones using thermal imaging cameras allows you to instantly see areas affected by delamination on the bridge's deck. Traditional methods, such as the chain drag test, are labour-intensive and open for miscalculations. With the faster and more accurate results offered by thermography, these methods are also becoming outdated.

Next Level Detail

Drones equipped with LIDAR technology produce high-resolution 3D models and maps of your bridgeasset forensics and assessments at the highest level of detail.

Access Hard-To-Reach Areas

The use of specialist impact-resistance technology deployed with our drones allows us to access areas that are otherwise too hazardous or difficult to reach. Get instant data from confined spaces without the time-consuming, labour-intensive and costly methods of the past, and with zero risk to personnel.

Keep Traffic Flowing

Conventional bridge inspection methods are tedious and can take several hours or even days to complete. Typically, the bridge must be closed to traffic while an inspection is underway. Drone bridge inspections are a faster and more cost-effective solution, that won't affect local citizens or commerce.

Why use a drone for your bridge inspection?

No scaffolding or ropes

Drone technology is cheaper, safer and more reliable than traditional methods such as scaffolding, cherry-pickers and ropes. It's also quicker and less labour-intensive. We will bring everything we need and be out of your way that same day.

No traffic disruption

Downtime is expensive, unpopular and inconvenient. Using a drone, our engineers can conduct a thorough survey with little to no downtime.

No risk to your assets

Our equipment won't touch or even go close to your assets. Our high-resolution cameras use optical zoom to give extreme close-up views while staying a safe distance away.

Detect hidden problems

We use cutting-edge technologies to detect problems that would otherwise be invisible. These include 4K ultra-HD photography/video, LIDAR and thermal imaging.

Quick turnaround

We understand that you need answers fast. We can deliver a plain-English report with clear-cut conclusions in days. Then, you can take the steps you need to and get back to doing what you do best.

Rapid response

Need us there in a hurry? No problem. Let us know what you need, and we can be there on the same day. After all, sometimes the problem just won't wait.

Real-time consulting

Sometimes the brief can change even in real-time. If need be, you can be stood there right next to the drone operator, directing them as the situation develops.

Safety

The safety of your personnel and our own is paramount, and we place it at the forefront of our company culture. Ask us about our HSSE systems and practices.

Where traditional methods fall short...

Previously, without a drone...

Bridge inspections meant scaffolding, cherry pickers, or platforms — all slow, expensive, and disruptive. You'd only cover small sections at a time, with safety risks to the team and delays to traffic. Drones remove that hassle entirely.

Drone bridge inspections are more efficient

Today, using drone technology...

One drone pass covers the entire bridge, above, below, and around — with no impact on traffic. There's no need for scaffolding or platforms, making inspections faster, safer, and more cost-effective. Drones also access confined or hard-to-reach areas with ease.
