Designed for professionals responsible for inspecting high-value and sensitive assets, this course takes you through the intricacies of safe, effective and efficient asset inspections using drone technology. Participants will learn how to plan inspection missions, operate drones safely in challenging environments, and capture detailed imagery and sensor data to identify potential issues before they escalate.
The Course begins by exploring the unique challenges and requirements of drone-based inspections in complex, high-risk environments. We then teach what differentiates critical asset inspections from routine aerial surveys, focusing on stringent safety standards, compliance regulations, and data accuracy.
We will then teach you to examine the key drone platforms and sensor payloads suited for inspection tasks. Learn how to choose the right combination of UAV and camera or sensor technology, such as zoom cameras, thermal imagers, LiDAR units, or multispectral sensors, based on the asset type and inspection objectives.
We then provide you insights into legal and regulatory considerations for operating drones near sensitive infrastructure. We help you understand how to obtain necessary clearances, ensure compliance with local authorities, and develop comprehensive risk assessments. We will also help you master mitigation strategies for environmental factors, electromagnetic interference, and restricted airspace.
We’ll cover pre-flight planning process, focusing on flight paths that maximise coverage while maintaining safe standoff distances. Help discover techniques for stable flight near tall structures, cluttered environments, and confined spaces. Practice contingency planning and emergency procedures to handle unexpected situations efficiently.
We’ll help you refine your piloting skills to execute precise hover, orbit, and close-proximity manoeuvres needed for detailed visual and sensor-based inspections. Understand best practices for capturing high-resolution imagery, detecting anomalies with thermal sensors, and collecting data that is both consistent and repeatable.
We’ll teach you transform raw inspection data into actionable insights. Learn to use software tools to stitch images, annotate points of interest, measure defects, and detect structural anomalies. Develop clear reporting formats that communicate findings to stakeholders, whether they are engineers, maintenance teams, or compliance auditors.
