Drone inspections provide a safer and more efficient way to access difficult or elevated areas across marine, industrial and civil infrastructure. From ship hulls and port structures to bridges, water tanks and large-scale water assets, detailed inspections can be conducted without placing personnel in hazardous or difficult-to-access locations.
DRONE INSPECTIONS
High-resolution aerial inspections without the cost, disruption and risks associated with traditional access methods.
Southern Divers have experience working with asset managers and engineers to develop and review rehabilitation designs. We work closely with corrosion experts to test and develop repair systems.
Safer Access to Difficult Areas
Advanced Drone Technology
Our DJI Air 3S combines intelligent flight technology, obstacle sensing and stabilised aerial imaging to provide precise visual inspections across a wide range of environments. This technology complements our existing commercial diving, marine construction and inspection capabilities, providing an efficient solution for assessing structures from above and around the waterline.
High-Resolution Inspection Imaging
High-resolution aerial imagery and video provide detailed visual records of ship hulls, bridges, tanks, marine structures, water infrastructure and other assets. Captured footage can assist in identifying visible damage, corrosion, cracking, deterioration and other conditions requiring further investigation, maintenance or repair.
Minimal Disruption
Drone inspections can often be completed without scaffolding, rope access or extensive site preparation, helping minimise disruption to operations. Where appropriate, aerial inspections can provide an initial assessment before more involved inspection or repair work is undertaken, potentially reducing downtime and improving planning.
Identify Problems Earlier
Early identification of damage and deterioration can help asset owners address maintenance requirements before issues become more significant. Drone imagery provides an efficient way to monitor the condition of structures and identify areas that may require closer inspection by our specialist commercial diving or inspection teams.
