Utilizes long-endurance drones to conduct remote inspections of hard-to-reach infrastructure, such as offshore wind farms, powerlines, and rail systems, from safe, onshore locations. This approach eliminates the need for personnel on-site, reducing safety risks, doubling inspection speed, and increasing accessibility by 25%. Each turbine inspected saves approximately one tonne of CO2e, supporting low-carbon operations in critical sectors.

Problem
Inspecting infrastructure such as offshore wind farms, powerlines, and rail systems often requires personnel to be physically present in hazardous or difficult-to-reach locations. Traditional inspection methods can be slow, costly, and expose workers to significant safety risks, while also potentially leading to increased carbon emissions due to transportation requirements.
Solution
Airspection provides remote inspection services for critical infrastructure using long-endurance drones, eliminating the need for on-site personnel and enhancing safety. Their drones are equipped with key enabling technology that allows them to fly farther, hover longer, and operate in tougher conditions than standard drones. By conducting inspections from safe, onshore locations, Airspection doubles inspection speed, increases accessibility by 25%, and reduces carbon emissions by approximately one tonne of CO2e per turbine inspected. The company's services transform inspection processes across vital sectors, providing reliable and efficient data collection.
Target Audience
Airspection's primary customers are operators and owners of critical infrastructure, including offshore wind farms, powerlines, and rail systems, who require safe, reliable, and efficient inspection services.
