CULVERT AND SEWER DRONE SURVEYS

Quality Data Capture

Where traditional CCTV methods aren’t suitable due to silt, water levels or other obstructions, drones provide an alternative solution.

The Elios 3 is a state-of-the-art drone designed for performing inspections of culverts and sewers. Its unique design allows it to easily navigate through tight and confined spaces, making it the perfect tool for these types of inspections.

One of the main advantages of using the Elios 3 for culvert and sewer inspections is its ability to provide high-resolution images and video footage. This allows engineers and inspectors to closely examine the condition within the culvert or sewer, identifying potential problems and areas that may need repair or maintenance. The Elios 3's powerful camera can capture detailed images and video, even in low-light conditions, ensuring that no potential issues are missed.

Mitigating Risk

Employing the Elios 3 for culvert and sewer inspections proactively mitigates several key risks associated with traditional methods. By eliminating the need for confined space entry by personnel, the drone significantly reduces the potential for accidents and injuries in hazardous environments.

The live video feed allows for real-time assessment of structural integrity and identification of potential collapses or blockages, enabling swift action to prevent further damage and costly emergency repairs. Furthermore, the detailed visual and thermal data captured by the Elios 3 provides a comprehensive understanding of the asset's condition, facilitating informed decision-making regarding maintenance and rehabilitation, thereby minimizing the long-term risk of structural failure and environmental impact.

Cost Saving

In addition to its capabilities as an inspection tool, the Elios 3 also offers significant cost savings over traditional inspection methods. Because it can access difficult-to-reach areas without the need for specialized equipment or additional personnel, it can significantly reduce the time and resources required for inspections. This can lead to significant cost savings for utilities and other organizations responsible for maintaining culverts and sewers.

Vertex Air are also able to offer external thermal surveys looking for leaks in pipe networks. Find out more on our thermal surveys below.

High Resolution Images and 4K Video Footage

Rapid Mobilisation

The Elios 3 is also equipped with powerful LED lights, allowing it to see clearly in even the darkest of environments. This is particularly useful for inspections of culverts and sewers, which are often dark and difficult to see into. The high-resolution cameras on the Elios 3 provide detailed images and video, allowing engineers and inspectors to easily identify any potential problems or defects. On-board lighting also allows us to respond to emergency callouts no matter the time of day.

In conclusion, the Elios 3 is a versatile and reliable tool for performing inspections of culverts and sewers. Its ability to capture high-resolution images and video, access difficult-to-reach areas, and withstand harsh conditions make it an invaluable tool for engineers and inspectors. Its cost-saving potential also makes it an attractive option for organizations looking to improve the efficiency of their inspection processes.
