Drone Asset Inspections Across South Africa
High-resolution visual, zoom and thermal inspections for buildings, structures and industrial assets.
Drone Asset Inspections Across South Africa
Quemic Airborne conducts professional aerial inspections using high-resolution visual, zoom and thermal imaging to examine assets from multiple angles, including areas that may be difficult, elevated or time-consuming to access from the ground.
ASSET INSPECTION APPLICATIONS
-
Buildings & Roofs
Aerial inspection of roofs, façades, elevated structures and other difficult-to-access areas. -
Industrial Facilities
Detailed visual inspection of plant, structures, equipment and operational facilities. -
Energy & Electrical Assets
Visual and thermal observation of electrical equipment and components where temperature differences may indicate areas requiring further assessment. -
Elevated & Complex Structures
Inspect towers, gantries, cranes and other structures from multiple aerial positions without relying solely on ground-level observation.
Visual Asset Inspection
Before each inspection, the asset and areas of interest are identified so the flight can be planned around the structure and the required viewpoints.
During the flight, high-resolution cameras capture detailed imagery while zoom capability allows operators to examine components and areas of interest from a safe stand-off distance.
The drone can reposition around the asset to capture different elevations, sides and viewing angles, providing a more complete visual record than a single ground-level viewpoint.
Captured imagery can then be reviewed to identify visible deterioration, damage or other conditions that may require closer technical assessment.
Thermal Asset Inspection
Where thermal assessment is required, Quemic Airborne uses thermal imaging to record temperature differences across equipment, electrical components and other suitable assets.
As the drone moves around the asset, operators can compare visual and thermal views to identify unusual heat patterns or temperature anomalies and establish where they are located on the structure.
Thermal imagery can then be reviewed alongside visual photographs, giving maintenance teams additional information when determining which areas may require closer investigation.
Thermal imagery identifies temperature differences and anomalies. Technical diagnosis should be completed by a suitably qualified specialist.
Difficult-to-Access Asset Inspection
Elevated structures, roofs, towers and industrial equipment can be difficult to examine safely and efficiently from ground level.
Quemic Airborne can position the drone around the asset to capture detailed imagery from above, below and around the structure, depending on the environment and operational requirements.
Zoom capability allows areas of interest to be examined from a distance, helping teams obtain an initial visual assessment before deciding whether physical access, specialist inspection or maintenance work is required.
This can reduce the amount of preliminary inspection work that needs to be carried out at height or in difficult-to-access locations.
Inspection Data & Reporting
Following an inspection, captured visual and thermal imagery can be organised according to the asset, location and area inspected.
Areas requiring further attention can be clearly documented so maintenance and operational teams can understand where an observation was made and review the surrounding condition.
This creates a structured visual record that can support further technical assessment, maintenance planning and ongoing asset management.
