CONFINED SPACE DRONE SURVEYS
Confined Space Drones
Confined spaces are enclosed areas where space and accessibility are limited
Poor air quality, complex rescue provision and hazardous substances are potential hazards that can be encountered while operating within confined spaces.
Using the world’s most cutting-edge drone technology, Vertex are able to offer the safest and most cost-effective method of accessing and inspecting confined spaces, without the need for costly and specialist planning and mobilisation.
The Elios 3 UAV captures high resolution visual data & performs LiDAR mapping surveys for 3D modelling, quickly and without ever requiring someone to be placed in a position of danger. The drone itself is equipped with a modular payload bay where modules, such as gas monitors, can be attached to improve the planning of any subsequent operations.
Confined Space Visual Inspection
Safe Flying
Traditional confined space inspection operations take days to carry out safely. Using Vertex’s confined space drone, we can safely carry out theses survey within hours, hazardous locations. No one is placed in harm’s way, and costs are significantly reduced.
Advanced Vision sensors in-built to the drone and the LiDAR scanner payload enable ground-breaking stability and highly accurate locational awareness.
The drone is also surrounded by a collision-resilient cage, further protecting it from walls, pipes and other obstruction. It has been built to comply with an IP44 ingress protection rating allowing operations in environments where water and dust are present. The built-in torch which has an output of 16k lumens of light which is essential for capturing quality imagery in dark, confined spaces.

LiDAR Mapping
One of the most revolutionary features of the Elios 3 is the in-built Lidar scanner. The operational benefit of the lidar is to provide unparalleled stability even in the toughest conditions. The Elios 3’s unique Live maps streamed to the controller allows for complex missions to be completed safely and quickly, and yields the highest quality in the output data.
Using SLAM technology, we can collect data in previously inaccessible places rapidly and efficiently, Pointcloud data can still be achieved in dusty, damp and difficult locations. The data can be used for a number of applications across numerous industries, including distance measuring, surface measurements, volumetric calculations, etc…
Void LiDAR Mapping Survey
Visual Surveys
With a 4K, 180° field of view camera on-board, the quality of images & video provides reliable data capture for detailed condition analyses of assets, and high-quality reports to be compiled.
Using the inspector 4.0 software, Vertex can pin points of interest such as defects, access points, repairs, and so on, in real-time where they will show up on the 3D map produced by the lidar scanner. This means locations of any pins have context as to where they are. Images and videos also correspond to the 3D live map so you know exactly where defects or other points of interest are located.

High Level Steelwork Survey
Thermal Imaging
Our Elios 3 has a built-in thermal imaging camera which can capture still images and video. This is streamed to the controller which makes looking for thermal abnormalities in real time possible. The imagery can also be revisited post flight and looked over as many times as needed.
