Wind Turbines

Are you tired of the time and cost it takes to manually inspect your wind turbines? Do you want a safer and more efficient way to identify potential problems and maintain your turbines? Look no further than using drones for your wind turbine inspections!

Drones offer a unique solution for inspecting wind turbines, as they are able to reach areas that may be difficult or dangerous for humans to access. Plus, they can perform a variety of inspections, including visual inspections, thermal imaging, LIDAR scanning, and non-destructive testing.

One of the main benefits of using drones for wind turbine inspections is their ability to perform visual inspections. Equipped with high-quality cameras, drones can easily identify damage or wear and tear on the turbine blades, nacelle, and other components. This allows you to catch potential problems early on, before they lead to more significant issues.

Thermal imaging is another useful inspection method for wind turbines. Drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras can detect hot spots on the turbines, which can indicate potential problems such as bearing failures or blade damage. This allows you to address any issues before they lead to costly repairs or downtime.

Our inspections can help identify issues such as:

  • Blade damage: Our drones can identify cracks, chips, and other types of damage to the blades of wind turbines, which can affect their efficiency and structural integrity.
  • Blade erosion: Our drones can detect erosion on the blades caused by wind and weather, which can affect their performance and lifespan.
  • Corrosion: Our drones can identify signs of corrosion on wind turbine components, which can weaken their structural integrity and increase the risk of failure.
  • Lightning damage: Our drones can detect signs of lightning damage on wind turbines, which can cause electrical issues and pose a safety hazard.
  • Component wear and tear: Our drones can identify wear and tear on key components such as bearings, gearboxes, and generators, which can affect the performance and reliability of wind turbines.

In conclusion, drones are a cost-effective and efficient solution for inspecting and maintaining wind turbines. With the ability to perform a variety of inspections and reach areas that may be difficult or dangerous for humans to access, drones are a valuable tool for ensuring the optimal performance and safety of your wind turbines.

Solar Panel System Inspection

Traditionally Solar Panels have been inspected using a manual process called IV Curve Tracing. This process is tedious and extremely time consuming. A single inspection can take several weeks or months to complete for a large solar site. Our drone inspection can carry out the same work within a few days. This makes it more cost effective, and faster to get  you solar system inspected. 

Drone Inspection Canada offers comprehensive Solar Panel System inspection and generates actionable reports that help you identify defects on your PV System. Our reports identify the following types of issues:

  • Single Cell Anomalies These are hot spots occurring with square geometry within a single cell
  • Multi-Cell Anomalies – These are hot spots occurring with square geometry in multiple cells
  • Diode Anomalies – Activated bypass diodes in the cell 
  • String Anomalies – These are faults in contiguous modules 
  • Cell Cracking/Damage These are cracks or shattered glass on cells
  • Shadowing –  Sunlight blocked by structures or vegetation
 

While traditional solar panel inspections typically take weeks or months to complete for large sites, we can do so in a few days thus saving time and money. Our inspection reports will show details on where the issues occur, the estimated loss of revenue from the defect, and detailed imagery of the issue.  Contact us for a more information about our drone based solar inspection services. 

Nuclear Power Plants

At Drone Inspection Canada, we understand the importance of maintaining the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants. That’s why we offer advanced drone inspection services to identify potential issues and ensure that nuclear facilities are operating at their best.

One of the key benefits of using drones for nuclear power plant inspection is the ability to access hard-to-reach areas without putting human inspection teams in danger. Our drones are equipped with high-resolution cameras and specialized sensors that can detect a wide range of issues, including:

  • Structural damage: Drones can quickly and safely inspect the structural integrity of nuclear power plants, identifying cracks, corrosion, and other types of damage that could compromise the safety of the facility.
  • Equipment malfunctions: Drones can detect issues with equipment such as pumps, valves, and generators, helping facility operators to identify and fix problems before they lead to costly failures or disruptions.
  • Radiological contamination: Our drones are equipped with specialized sensors that can detect radiological contamination, helping facility operators to ensure that their facilities are safe for workers and the public.
  • Environmental issues: Drones can also be used to monitor environmental conditions around nuclear power plants, helping facility operators to identify and address any issues that could affect the safety and performance of their facilities.

At Drone Inspection Canada, we are committed to helping facility operators maintain the safety and reliability of their nuclear power plants. Contact us today to learn more about how our advanced drone inspection services can benefit your facility.
