Commercial drones and enterprise drone inspection systems are being used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, energy, agriculture, critical infrastructure, public safety, and mining, to name a few. The use of drones for industrial inspection is growing rapidly due to the many advantages that drones offer compared to traditional methods, such as manned aircraft or ground-based inspection.
Drones can conduct inspections in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas, they can cover large areas quickly, and they can capture high-resolution images and data that can be used to create 3D models or for other analyses.
Oil and gas companies are using drones for a variety of tasks, such as pipeline and facility inspections, flare stack inspections, and asset mapping. Drones are particularly well-suited for pipeline inspections, as they can fly along the length of the pipeline to conduct a visual inspection or collect data for analysis.
Pipeline inspection is a critical task for oil and gas companies, as it helps to identify potential problems that could lead to leaks or other damage. Drones can perform these inspections quickly and safely, without the need for human inspectors to enter potentially dangerous areas.
In addition to pipeline inspection, drones are also being used for flare stack inspection. Flare stacks are tall structures that are used to burn off waste gas from industrial processes. They can be located in remote or difficult-to-reach areas, making them difficult to inspect. Contact State Drone Inspections for a quote on how we can help your business.
