Usefulness of drones in infrastructure inspections.
Over the last decade, Drones (UAV’s) have changed the way in which we observe the earth and its features.
​
Speed & precision
Modern day drones are equipped with high tech instruments such as 4K cameras and thermal optics. In combination with the ability of the drone to travel at controlled speeds and altitudes, these instruments provide the perfect solution for rapid infrastructure inspections.
​
Cost & time
Compared to conventional infrastructure inspection methods which involved the closure of public spaces, scaffolding, boom lift, vessels & abseiler, the drone eliminates these potentials and their associated regulations. This dramatically reduces cost of inspection tasks.
​
Safety
In Australia, a trained pilot holds a registration with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). This ensures they have taken the necessary training and theory examinations to ensure they can safely operate a drone, complying with Australian law. All Panthom engineers are certified/trained pilots with CASA accreditations.
