Energy Drone Services
Drone inspections, thermal surveys and mapped reporting for wind, solar, substations and battery energy storage sites, with workflows applicable to regulated industrial environments
Aerial Insight for Critical Energy Assets
Aerometrics supports the UK energy sector with CAA compliant drone operations designed for complex, safety-critical environments. Our workflows focus on repeatable capture, clear reporting and risk reduction across operational and construction-phase assets.
Typical outputs include wind turbine drone inspection, thermal surveys for electrical systems, and mapped reporting for solar farms, substations and BESS sites. These same methods are suitable for regulated industrial environments, including oil and gas, where access constraints, safety controls and data quality are critical.
Wind Turbine Blade and Nacelle Inspection
High-resolution optical and thermal capture supports identification of erosion, leading-edge wear, lightning damage and drivetrain heat anomalies without rope access or extended shutdowns. Structured flight paths deliver consistent coverage for baseline creation and change tracking.
- Blade surface defect identification including erosion and cracking
- Thermal screening for bearings, gearboxes and generators
- Repeatable capture for trend analysis and warranty evidence
- Minimal disruption with rapid, site-aware deployment
Oil and Gas: Regulated Industrial Environments
Our drone inspection workflows are designed for safety-critical, access-restricted industrial environments where risk reduction, data quality and procedural control are essential. These methods are applicable to oil and gas assets where traditional inspection involves work at height, confined spaces or complex access planning.
- Non-intrusive visual and thermal inspection techniques
- Structured capture to support condition assessment and planning
- Geo-referenced imagery suitable for asset records and reporting
- Operations planned around strict safety, separation and control measures
Wind • Energy • BESS
Condition insight, safety-focused workflows, and data to support asset performance.
BESS Construction and Performance Monitoring
Battery energy storage projects demand tight control during construction and careful monitoring once operational. We provide repeatable aerial capture to document civils, enclosure placement, cabling routes, inverter stations and substation connections, followed by in-service thermal surveys to highlight abnormal heat patterns.
- Progress reporting using orthomosaics and geo-referenced imagery
- Thermal surveys to identify hotspots and airflow irregularities
- As-built visual records suitable for handover and O&M documentation
- Deliverables structured for compatibility with asset management and reporting systems
