Drone Services for Insurance companies

Professional Drone Services for insurance inspections

Insurance claims can be a complicated undertaking. But with high-quality drone inspections, insurance companies can produce more detailed reports faster and more cost-effectively. Engineers with Drones provide custom drone inspections for insurance companies. Drones are fast and can safely reach hard-to-reach structures and even the most difficult locations. This means that inspectors are not put in dangerous positions and the safety risks that can arise are reduced.

Land Appraisal

Large areas of land can easily be photographed, examined, and documented by drones to capture an exact reading of their geography, boarders, and vegetation cover. This allows you to record a professional and accurate status of your land at a given point in time, without having to step foot on the ground.

Instant Survey Data

Our drones can monitor huge areas of land in a single flight, something that was previously only possible via satellite. Drones give you higher quality imagery and more useable survey data, faster and with fewer challenges.

The use of drone 3D modelling technologies gives you the opportunity to inspect a digital twin of a an asset 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.

4K and VR Footage

In addition to quadrupling the resolution of an HD camera, 4K also gives you quicker frame rates, incredible contrast variations, and expanded colours. VR video takes the level of immersion and clarity to the next level.

Why use a drone for your insurance service?

Cost-efficient

Drone inspections take up less of your manhours and resources than traditional inspections, giving you a faster and more budget-friendly return on your investment.

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 ultra-HD photography/video, LIDAR and thermal imaging.

Hard-to-reach spaces

Drones aren't just for flying up in the sky. Our specialist drones can fly into confined spaces like chimneys and boilers to look for issues that would otherwise be inaccessible.

See more

Thermal IR technology and ultra HD allow our engineers to get a view that is not available to the naked eye. From a safe distance, we can find defects and insights that are only visible with a drone.

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...

Professional Drone Services for insurance inspections

Insurance claims can be complicated undertakings. However, using high-quality drone inspections, insurance companies can compile more detailed reports in a faster and more cost-efficient way. Engineers with Drones supply tailor-made aerial drone inspection services for insurance companies. Drones are fast and can safely access hard-to-reach structures and even the most difficult locations. This means that inspectors are not put in dangerous positions and the safety risks that can incur are reduced.

Drone Insurance Inspections and Surveys

At Engineers With Drones our pilots are all fully licensed and certified. They will capture high-resolution photo and video data in a matter of minutes. This data can be used to accurately assess the current condition of a property or asset and process insurance claims faster and more efficiently. At the same time using drones will eliminate the safety risks of traditional methods. Claim assessment inspectors won't have to access hazardous areas. Additionally, the increase in speed and quality of the findings gives insurance companies both peace of mind and a higher return on investment.

How does it work?

Reach out and tell us your idea

We take emails, phone calls, messages, everything! If you are unsure of what's possible we are happy to advise, the most important thing is to get in touch. We would be delighted to answer any questions you may have.

Start at the end

With drones, it's best to begin where you want to end up. What sort of deliverable would you like when it's all finished? If you are not sure then we can advise. We can look at what you would like and work backwards from there.

Scope of work and set a price

Once we have agreed on what is to be done, the scope of work is set and a price is agreed upon. We feel it is vital that everyone knows what they are getting and what they are paying for it. There should be no confusion.

Permits and other paperwork

Once we have confirmation you are happy to proceed, we start the ball rolling. We organise things like RAMS, site permits, Air Traffic Control clearance and much more. Basically, we generate everything needed to turn up on-site with all our ducks in a row.

Field Operations

Next, we do the work on site. We have the gear, we have the know-how, so now it's time to get the job done. This can sometimes be affected by the weather, but for the most part, we get the job done on the date specified.

Post Processing

This is where we take what we generated in the field and turn it into a final deliverable for you. This can be anything from the raw data itself, to fully processed Orthophotos, condition reports, CAD line work or thermal imagery.

Handover

The final step is the handover of the deliverables. We tend to use a cloud-based service, so you can access your data anywhere. We can also tie into your existing systems if that is more convenient.
